What does 2021 look like when computing is not just for computers anymore? Intel Corporation’s Futurist Brian David Johnson will talk about the “Future Casting” process used to develop a pragmatic and actionable vision for computing. Interesting video with some ideas about what the future holds with computer and society.

One of the key features is the pick routing, which enables the route around the warehouse to be automatically configured to maximise efficiency.  This means that the pickers spend less time walking around the warehouse and more time picking the parts for the orders. K-Store have worked on this side of the software to make it so the routing can be easily configured.

Other areas of note are the manual override which means that pickers can choose other items to pick but this is logged so that later on analysis can be performed. This means that if there is a situation where it makes more sense to pick an item, the system is not stuck.

The focus of having all the information logged is that it allows tractability throughout the system. This is a key feature that allows the system to have an historical log of all events giving the ability to find out any problems or look for patterns in production. Also, staff performance and other metrics are available.

With these and more improvements in the K-Store software we are confident that it will become a key player in the warehouse software market.

Good video interview about communications and how to get your newsletter and news out to people involved with your organisation.

Different surfaces and gestures can make different sounds.

This is a quote from the website:
“OVIA is a video interviewing platform that makes your candidate filtering and selection process more efficient and personal. Recruitment is all about finding the right people, not just the right resumes. Use the power of competency based video selection to evaluate candidates faster and more effectively.”

So will these technologies bring payments to the mobile and allow a cash and card less world? It depends how they catch on and a critical mass I suppose but it will be interesting to see how it takes off and if other players start pushing their versions.

You probably found this blog post because you’re wondering the same thing I was this morning… the ability to delete an order is a very basic function and yet, I cannot find the delete button! Well, the delete button is is not a permission, but instead an option you must turn on by modifying the code. A lot of people that don’t speak PHP will not be happy. Anyway, the delete button will appear at the bottom of your order list by adding the following line of code in the construct of the AdminOrders class.

1. In the renamed admin directory of your store, go to tabs/AdminOrders.php.
2. Around line 28 below $this->colorOnBackground = true; , add $this->delete = true; so it looks like this -

class AdminOrders extends AdminTab
{
public function __construct()
{
$this->table = ‘order’;
$this->className = ‘Order’;
$this->view = ‘noActionColumn’;
$this->colorOnBackground = true;
$this->delete = true;
