Silveredge has recently implemented a full warehouse automation solution custom designed by the client utilizing LANSA as the development tool.  The wireless devices display html pages, which are easily understood by the warehouse staff.  The pages are directly generated by the IBM i, without the need for additional hardware.  The client utilizes this method for picking, receiving, shipping, and cycle counting.  While this solution interfaced with the HFA ERP solution, the approach is universal.
