Activation of Kanban integration

To provide customers with a complete Kanban solution in which LN is connected to the Factory Track (FT) Warehouse Mobility barcoding solution, the Kanban functionality has been merged for both applications. LN is used as the administrative backbone which includes the parameters and master data. Warehouse Mobility is used to handle the operational side of the Kanban supply concept, such as scanning Kanban labels, monitoring bin/signal statuses, and triggering supply orders. The integrated solution can now be activated.

To activate the integration, in the LN menu, go to Common > Factory Track > Kanban. These enhancements have been made:

  • The Integrate Kanban with Warehousing field has been added to the Kanban Parameter (brkan0100m999) session to prepare the activation of the integration.
  • New sessions are available to set up Kanban integration defaults on the company, site, and warehouse level, specify item settings by warehouse, Kanban signals, and related supply orders.

In the Concept Activation Workbench (tcemm4600m100) session, the KANBAN INTEGRATION button has been added. Clicking this button starts the Concept Activation (tcemm4600m000) session in which the related activation activities are displayed.
