Track Travel Time as Discrete Unit

To track employee’s performance in a warehouse involving intensive labor operations, the supervisor needs to capture discrete data to measure the employee efficiency on floor. In such case, capturing the travel time of the employee provides a comprehensive report for warehouse supervisor to set goals and measure their productivity.

With this release, we’ve introduced a functionality to track travel time enabling warehouse supervisors to set realistic goals, based on travel time, and receive productivity percentages based on data. This functionality may also help in future to forecast labor efficiency using AI/ML.

INTRODUCING TRAVEL TIME ENTITIES

Currently, the Employee Location Track UI displays the employee’s location captured in the warehouse.

Now, we’ve introduced additional entities that consolidates travel time of employees per screen. This consolidated data can be used for estimating task time and total time travelled per day for productivity reports.

Two new modules “Employee Travel Time” (EmployeeTravelTimeView)  and "Daily Travel Time" (DailyTravelTimeView) are introduced.

REST API SUPPORT FOR TRAVEL TIME ENTITIES

We’ve also extended Get support to the following WFM entities via REST API:

• TRAVEL_TIME_ENTITY_STATUS
• EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_TIME
• DAILY_TRAVEL_TIME

SCHEDULE JOB TO PROCESS EMPLOYEE LOCATION TRACK 

To process data from employee location track information, consolidate, and move these data to Employee Travel Time (ETT) and eventually to Daily Travel Time (DTT), a new schedule job “Process Employee Location Track" has been introduced.

Employee Travel Timeline REST API

We’ve introduced a REST API that can be used to fetch employee travel timeline data and other travel metrics.
