Hazardous Materials Management Software

WMS and SCM for Chemicals and Hazardous Materials Warehouse Businesses

Managing and Handling dangerous products

 


Hazardous Materials, Chemicals & Gas product warehouse operations that store and handle chemicals – be they in either gas, liquid or solid form – have demanding and unique challenges. Those that store hazardous chemicals that are very toxic, oxidizing, explosive, flammable, dangerous to the environment, water-reactive (i.e. violent reaction with water and toxic gas evolution when in contact with water) and corrosive, are even more demanding.

Such environments place rigorous demands on product safety data sheets (SDS), labelling criteria, product segregation, reporting and transportation documentation to comply with ADR regulations and similar.
 
 

Any computer equipment deployed such as hand-held terminals (HHD’s), printers, voice units, RFID tags and similar must be intrinsically safe. Flammable or combustible products need separation demanding sophisticated system directed putaway instructions to guarantee compliance.
 
Some products can be temperature sensitive ambient, chill and frozen. Liquid chemicals, as well as requiring strict batch control, may need sampling and dip tubing – and this must be carried out to ensure no product mix-ups that could compromise quality and purity.

Hazardous Materials Warehouse Operator Challenges:

• Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
• Classification & Labelling
• Product Segregation
• System Directed Put-away
• Batch Management
• Chemicals Sampling
• Decanting
• Temperature Controls
• Real-time Inventory Management
• ADR Documentation
• Traceability
• Third Party Chemical Storage Operations

ProWMS Advanced Warehouse Management Software ensures robust compliance across all regulations. The Document Management Module allows for the safe electronic storage of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and wireless image capture on HHT’s allows for damages to be photographed at the point of capture. System-directed rules ensure that products are managed appropriately with full end-to-end traceability as to who did what when and where.
 
Our form designer generates all required documentation including all associated transport documentation for ADR (Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) compliance.
