PROWAY BUSINESS WORLD
Organization, control, analysis and optimization of the flow of goods and
logistics - worldwide. Suitable for any warehouse regardless of industry.
The heart of every logistics facility is the software which makes sure that all areas, transports,
and processes interact smoothly with each other. With PBW software, all flows of goods and
information alongside the intra logistics supply chain can be organized, steered, displayed and
analyzed – even beyond various logistics facilities.

MANAGEMENT
The warehouse structure management in PROWAY BUSINESS WORLD includes all physical and
logical basic warehouse structure data for a warehouse complex.
With flexible location assignment it is possible to store different load carriers in the same area,
automatically managed by PBW.

STOCK
MANAGEMENT
The PBW stock management handles storage units (pallets, containers,
etc.), stocks (item quantities) and locations in the warehouse so that at
each time it is exactly known which items are stored on which location
in the warehouse.
The stock can be viewed on the following levels: Grouping can be made according to:

13CAPACITY CONTROL
The PROWAY BUSINESS WORLD capacity control is the basis for logistical
planning, according to which the reference value (location classes) to each
of the realizable capacity of the storage bins and storage equipment are
determined.

15TRANSPORT CONTROL
The transport control in PBW is responsible for executing all pending material
movements in optimal order, so usually as fast as possible and with as few
transport steps (transports) as possible.
To enable PBW to solve this complex task, various strategies are defined in the transport control
system and the complete route network of the warehouse is mapped. This ensures that the most
optimal / efficient transport route can be determined.
The cross-system transport control takes account into both, manual stacker transports for different
types of storage and retrieval machines, various picking equipment, as well as fully automatic
conveyor systems and stacker cranes are supported.
For each device, the resource classes can be used to determine whether it has one or more load
carrier attachments and what the maximum load capacity is.
16Fig. 9: transport control
17PROCESS CONTROL The task of process control is to interlink process flows, monitor the processing and, if necessary, to take control action. PBW controls the individual process steps via modifiable process plans and verifies the processing and consideration of dependencies (e.g. order types).

20PROCESS COST ACCOUNTING
P B W d e te rmin es yo u r co sts within the logistics
a n d m a p s each su b -p ro cess p recisely. In this way,
p o te n tia l s avin gs can b e id en tified in real time and
p ro ce s s e s can b e o p timized .
Activity-based costing is an approach
that enables you to better plan and
control the costs of the business areas
and allocate them to products or services.
In this process, orientation is based on
the value-added chain by referring to the
individual company processes.
The tasks processed in the company’s cost
centers are broken down into process-related
activities. The costs are assigned to these
activities, depending on cost drivers, and process
cost rates are determined from them. The process
cost rates are used to calculate the process-related
overhead costs for the products or services, which
can then be invoiced to the service recipient or used to
optimize internal processes.

PBW can perform all control station tasks for you in
a fully automatic way, from the planning of the orders
to the stock reservation of the materials and finally
to the release of the picking orders.
Check rules are used to define exactly those criteria that were
previously the basis for your employees’ decisions. For all these
schedules, reservations and releases of the shipping orders to be
processed.
And should a new criterion be needed, it can be added with a few
clicks and assigned to an existing or new rule.
The control is done quite simply in a dialog with assignment of the
rules to working days and delivery times.
2223
PRODUCTION
PBW can also manage your production. The exact time required to supply
individual workstations up to complex production lines is based on the
resolution of bills of materials and the processing of warehouse and stock
transfer orders.
What had previously to be designed in complex tables and connections can now be realized with
PBW in just a few steps.

25INVENTORY
The inventory is the collection and verification of all existing stock of an
owner at his site.
The resources managed by PBW (mainly goods such as objects, materials or articles) are recorded
by counting, measuring or weighing with respect to their location (storage location) and load carrier
(LC). PBW guides the users through the process and provides all necessary and verifiable documents.
PBW differentiates the following inventory types
f end of period (annual) inventory
f permanent inventory
f time-shifted inventory

29ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE The optimal flow of materials and the planning of resources, whether human or machine, is becoming increasingly complex and can hardly be controlled by conventional means. Artificial intelligence and neuronal networks help PBW to achieve optimal results in a short time. With the help of AI, we make forecasts based on provided data, for example, to optimize resource planning and the utilization of a logistics location. Recurrent neuronal networks (RNN, LSTM) can be used to process sequences. Increasing data volumes and computing power will favour the use of AI in various fields of industry and society in the future. If sufficient computing power is available, unstructured or incomplete data can also be used. In this way, forecasts of the resource requirements of people and industrial trucks in a warehouse can be made on the basis of historical and current data. For AI-supported resource planning, the automatic evaluation of the data and the creation of a relationship between these data will play a decisive role in the future. Several material groups and warehouse areas are examined over a certain period of time. With AI-supported resource planning, existing resources can be used and controlled more sensibly and efficiently. 30

HANDLING OF PARCEL SERVICE PROVIDERS – CEP
Providers of CEP services primarily transport consignments with relatively low weight
(up to approx. 30 kg) and volume, such as letters, documents, parcels and small piece goods.
These restrictions on size and weight allow a high degree of standardization in processing.
PBW supports CEP processing both for incoming goods of CEP deliveries and parcel shipments
via CEP service providers.
