AIMS modular architecture is why Minerva can offer world-class WMS software across wildly different industries. AIMS for a Fortune 500 aerospace manufacturer can look very different compared to AIMS in a retail distribution operation, but many of our customers will be surprised to learn how solutions for one set of challenges in one environment can be applied to the other.
This modular system design also allows us to provide clients with “organic” WMS software; for customers who have regularly changing lines of business, we work to provide new enhancements on a regular basis. Whether the system remains untouched for years or undergoes changes every quarter, our clients are assured their WMS software is prepared to handle the unexpected, backed by a vendor with the expertise to offer solutions. Rather than take our word for it, take a look at one of our cases studies to see how our customer’s appreciate the flexibility AIMS provides their logistics operations.
Minerva’s commitment to flexibility mandates that we support a diverse group of computer operating environments. The latest version of AIMS supports Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, AIX and Sun Solaris server operating systems. AIMS is a highly database driven application, and support up to MS SQL 2008 and Oracle 11g database managers. Whether your server room is geared for Microsoft products or a Unix environment, Minerva has you covered. AIMS will run on desktop workstations with Windows XP or higher, and mobile RF terminals require Windows Mobile 5 or higher. AIMS is certified on a variety of mobile RF devices from Motorola, LXE, and Intermec.
AIMS client software has two flavors, a GUI or thick client and thin Rich Internet Application (RIA) client. The GUI client is for all desktop workstations, and features a robust user interface that provides quick access to information. The GUI client is also required for all workstations interfacing to material handling equipment (MHE) on our AIMS TXP systems. RIA is found on all RF mobile devices, because a monochrome terminal emulator doesn’t cut it on full color, touchscreen capable units.With our RIA client, AIMS is able to use visual cues and sounds to enhance operator productivity and minimize errors, and even show pictures of the product for their current transaction. Installation is a 1-minute download and install from your local Intranet.
