What is Directed Put-Away?
Directed put-away is a WMS capability that automatically determines the optimal storage location for each incoming item — replacing manual operator guesswork with rules-driven, AI-optimized bin assignments. The system evaluates SKU velocity, product dimensions, weight limits, zone capacity, hazmat classification, and rack type to direct every put-away move in real time.
AtomIQ WMS delivers directed put-away natively connected to your ERP — meaning put-away completions sync to your inventory system instantly, with no middleware, no manual reconciliation, and no batch delays.

Put-Away Capabilities
Everything in Directed Put-Away — Built for Any Warehouse
Pre-built put-away rules for every warehouse scenario — from standard pallet racks to push-back racks, drive-in racking, and hazmat zones. All synced natively with your ERP in real time.
Rule-Based Put-Away Engine
Configure put-away rules by SKU class, product family, zone, velocity (ABC), weight, dimensions, or custom attribute. Rules cascade in priority order — the WMS always selects the optimal bin without operator judgment or manual checks.
→ Zone, velocity, and attribute-based rules
RFID and Barcode Scan-to-Put-Away
Operators scan incoming license plates or carton barcodes via mobile device or RFID reader at the dock. AtomIQ instantly displays the directed bin, travel route, and put-away confirmation screen — zero paper, zero guesswork on every move.
→ Mobile-first, hands-free receiving
AI Push-Back Rack Consolidation
AtomIQ AI analyzes push-back rack lane utilization in real time — consolidating partial lanes, recommending optimal SKU placement, and preventing lane fragmentation that wastes 20 to 40 percent of dense storage capacity. Engineered for push-back, drive-in, and pallet-flow systems.
→ Push-back, drive-in, pallet-flow support
Real-Time ERP Inventory Sync
Every put-away confirmation writes back to your ERP inventory in real time — no batch delays, no manual entry, no dual-system reconciliation. Inventory accuracy is always current, visible across all connected sales channels and warehouse locations instantly.
→ Real-time sync to any ERP
License Plate and LPN Tracking
Track every pallet, carton, and tote by License Plate Number throughout the put-away process. Full chain of custody from inbound dock to final bin — with timestamp, operator ID, and location history stored for audit, quality, and recall requirements.
→ Full LPN and pallet traceability
Cross-Docking and Flow-Through
For high-velocity items with pending outbound orders, AtomIQ identifies cross-docking opportunities automatically — directing stock straight to outbound staging and bypassing storage entirely. Reduces handling cost and order cycle time for fast-moving SKUs.
→ Automatic cross-dock identification
How Put-Away Works
5 Steps from Inbound Scan to Bin Confirmation
No paper. No manual ERP entry. No batch delays. Here is the exact flow from dock arrival to confirmed inventory — all automated.

Rack System Support
AI-Optimized Put-Away for Every Rack Type — Including Push-Back
Most WMS platforms support standard selective racking only. AtomIQ was built for the full range of modern warehouse storage systems — including dense storage types that most WMS cannot handle.
🏗️
Push-Back Rack — AI Lane Consolidation
AtomIQ tracks utilization per lane in push-back systems. AI directs new put-away to consolidate partial lanes — preventing fragmentation that wastes 20 to 40 percent of capacity. Supports FIFO and LIFO assignment per lane per SKU.
🚗
Drive-In and Drive-Through Rack
High-density drive-in and drive-through rack requires strict LIFO or FIFO discipline per lane. AtomIQ enforces lane assignment rules and prevents mixed-SKU lane assignments — maximizing density without pick interference.
🌊
Pallet-Flow Rack
Gravity-fed pallet-flow systems require put-away at the rear and picking at the front. AtomIQ directs put-away to the correct loading end and tracks lane depth — auto-detecting when lanes need replenishment from reserve.
📦
Selective Pallet Racking
Standard selective racking with ABC velocity slotting, fixed or dynamic bin assignment, weight-limit enforcement per level, and seasonal SKU realignment. The most flexible configuration for any SKU profile or product mix.
🏢
Mezzanine and Multi-Level
Multi-level mezzanine and pick-module support with elevator routing, weight-per-level enforcement, and zone-based put-away rules per floor. Integrated with vertical lift modules and horizontal carousels.
⚠️
Hazmat and Temperature-Controlled Zones
Hazmat classification from your item master automatically restricts put-away to compliant zones. Temperature zone enforcement for cold-chain SKUs — flammables, corrosives, and refrigerated items always route to the correct zone.
What is Warehouse Replenishment?
Warehouse replenishment is the process of moving inventory from reserve bulk storage to active pick face locations to ensure pickers always have stock available. A modern WMS automates this with demand-driven triggers, min/max rules, and wave-based scheduling — eliminating manual replenishment checks and emergency stock movements that disrupt pick operations and miss SLAs.
AtomIQ WMS replenishment triggers from live demand signals and syncs all inventory movements back to your ERP in real time — with zero dual-entry and no batch delays between warehouse and business system.

Replenishment Capabilities
Every Replenishment Strategy — Configured Without Code
From simple min/max triggers to AI-driven predictive replenishment and wave-based scheduling — AtomIQ supports every strategy in one platform.
Demand-Driven Replenishment
Triggered by real-time demand signals — sales orders, wave releases, and forecast data — rather than fixed schedules. AtomIQ calculates the quantity needed plus configurable safety stock buffer and issues forklift tasks before pick faces run empty.
→ Zero pick-face stockouts
Min/Max and Fixed Replenishment Rules
Define minimum and maximum quantity thresholds per pick location per SKU. AtomIQ monitors live on-hand levels and auto-triggers replenishment tasks when stock drops to the minimum — filling to the maximum without any operator monitoring required.
→ Auto-trigger by min/max threshold
Wave-Based Pre-Pick Replenishment
Before each pick wave is released, AtomIQ pre-validates all pick face quantities against wave demand. Any shortfall automatically generates a replenishment task — completed before pickers start the wave. Eliminates mid-wave delays from empty pick faces entirely.
→ Pre-wave replenishment checks
AI-Predictive Replenishment
AtomIQ AI analyzes historical pick velocity, seasonal demand patterns, and incoming orders to predictively trigger replenishment before pick faces deplete — preventing stockouts before they are detectable by standard min/max rules. Ideal for promotions and seasonal spikes.
→ Predictive — prevents stockouts proactively
Push-Back Rack Replenishment
AtomIQ supports replenishment from push-back racks, drive-in racks, and pallet-flow systems. The AI consolidation engine tracks lane utilization and recommends consolidation moves to free complete lanes — reducing forklift travel distance and improving throughput.
→ Push-back, drive-in, pallet-flow replenishment
Real-Time Inventory Sync on Completion
Every replenishment completion writes to your ERP inventory in real time. Pick face levels update instantly — visible to order management, eCommerce channels, and planning systems without any manual entry or batch delay. Always accurate, always current.
→ Zero dual-entry with your ERP
How Replenishment Works
4 Steps from Demand Signal to Pick Face Confirmation
No manual monitoring. No emergency scrambles. No dual ERP entry. Here is the exact automated flow — from trigger to confirmed pick face inventory.
1
