1. GENERAL

1.1. PURPOSE

Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD) intends to repair, replace and upgrade its Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS), Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) system and supportive

Warehouse Management and Control Systems (WMS & WCS) located on the Tobyhanna, PA campus of buildings.

1.1.1. This Army base facility contains inventory and parts used for repair of parts, assembly and prototype missions for the United States Army, Department of Defense, government agencies and allied forces worldwide.

1.1.2. The current ASRS system and AGVs are antiquated, with several parts dating back to the mid-1980’s. The AGV system has not been reliable and can not get parts, so the system was taken off line earlier this year and is no longer responsible for delivering parts and pallets.

1.1.3. The purpose of this document is to solicit bids for replacing key software components, integrating software into the current mainframe, replacement of mini-load cranes, and execution of improved material handling systems through the replacement of Automated

Guided Vehicle (AGV) systems.

1.1.4. This RFP intends to detail the technical installation and depot requirements in order to successfully transition in place from the current systems to the new systems.

1.1.5. The operation will still need to maintain and serve its mission throughout the entire project execution.

1.1.6. The award of this contract will be directed by Tobyhanna Army Depot ACC-APG.

1.2. BACKGROUND

1.2.1. TYAD is a communications electronics maintenance supply depot in support of the United

States Army, and other branches of the Department of Defense. Support is provided worldwide on equipment ranging from radios to satellite communications systems. TYAD covers an area of approximately 1,300 acres, located in northern Pennsylvania.

1.2.2. TYAD provides for the receipt, storage issue and life cycle maintenance of army-based electronic equipment. Mission functions are in support of the army, other military services, government agencies and allies.

1.2.3. TYAD handles maintenance, fabrication and manufacturing support of electronics, repair and prototype systems. Consequently, there are a tremendous number of SKUs with a great variety of sizes.

1.2.4. In the 1980’s, TYAD issued a bid solicitation for a new automated storage and retrieval system. This system known as ASRS (Automated Storage Retrieval System), was implemented over the course of the following few years and involved a structure / rack supported facility handling both unit load and mini-load systems. The mini-load system was a crane-based operation using a series of conveyors to load and unload trays. The pallet support is a unit load system with approximately 4,550 pallets. This system also operated with inbound and outbound vehicles using an AGV system, also original to the

1980s installation.

1.2.5. Since that time, an updated Warehouse Control System (WCS) was layered into this. The current system, supplied by George Cook and Associates (GCA) has been in place since the early 2000’s.

1.2.6. The dated systems and equipment have gone through a series of evaluations of new and replacement equipment and systems to best serve it’s needs since the original installation.

The attached specification indicates the intent to move forward to replace select system components technology, systems and hardware currently within the ASRS system. Section

1.4 will become more descriptive as an overview of the proposed scope.

1.3. OWNERSHIP /OWNER (for delivery information – see Section 3)

WMS New system designed to replace the current ASRS traditional WCS and WMS system

5.1.2. Overview / Introduction

5.1.2.1. TYAD’s host system, an SAP ERP system branded LMP (Logistics Modernization

Program), is a common host platform serving all United States Army Depots. The

LMP system maintains part information, inventory, and quantity information for items stored in the TYAD pallet and case storage system (called ASRS). The LMP is not responsible for understanding the individual storage locations.

5.1.2.2. LMP records all inventory activities including receipts, inventory adjustments, and requests for parts through Pick lists. Layered on top of the internal LMP system is a customer-supplied middleware called PI. In this document, LMP and PI will be considered a single entity, and is referred to as “LMP”.

5.1.2.3. The internal ASRS system is responsible for performing the on-site Warehouse

Control and Management System functions. This includes, but is not limited to, identifying part location, transaction processing, put-away confirmation, picking confirmation and execution. It is responsible for reporting back to LMP on these activities.

5.1.2.4. The proposed system (referred to as ASRS or WMS in this specification) will need to replace the current ASRS system seamlessly in the timeline identified.

5.1.2.5. The proposed ASRS system will need to replicate, validate and test all the interface, communications and functional requirements performed in the current

ASRS system. Data from ASRS is required to be exchanged with the LMP host.

5.1.2.6. Test and training protocols are identified in this document and need to be adhered to by the selected ASRS vendor.

5.1.2.7. The information contained in this section is for interface understanding. The selected ASRS vendor will need to validate this information and assure to TYAD that they can meet the Host interface requirements without issue.

5.1.3. LMP/ASRS Current Interfaces

5.1.3.1. The ASRS system currently performs functions and communicates information to the host on the processes associated with the picking, part issue, and put away functions. LMP is an SAP based solution which utilizes SAP ECC, SCM, EWM, WM and

CAMS as part of its support to the Army Material Command industrial sites, including

RIA-JMTC.

5.1.3.2. LMP sends files periodically (in batch format but very frequently) to the ASRS in the form of transactions identified in detail in this RFP, including messaging that identifies incoming and end of transmissions. Data passed from LMP to ASRS is via an IDoc file and is encrypted; these same formats will be adhered to with the new

ASRS system. ASRS vendor will need to assure that these file formats and interfaces can be performed based on prior experience with similar applications.

5.1.3.3. Data will be sent from LMP to the ASRS in a similar form to what was received;

more details on the transactions are contained in later sections of this RFP. The ASRS will need to be able to receive data in an SAP IDoc or agreed upon flat file format.

5.1.3.4. Data passed between the ASRS system and LMP must be encrypted. ASRS vendor will need to assure that these file formats and interfaces can be performed based on prior experience with similar applications. The ASRS system currently uses and will continue to operate on the Army NIPR network; additional information is provided on the Server Requirements in Section 5.3.

5.1.4. PI Middleware

Layered on top of the internal LMP system is a customer-supplied middleware called PI.

The graphic below shows how information will be transmitted in a high-level graphic form. The PI middleware also performs the functions of taking multi-line orders and breaks them into single line messages for the ASRS to process.

5.1.5. Interface Details

5.1.5.1. Connectivity

The proposed connection between LMP and ASRS system will use Ethernet network and TCP/IP sockets; this will continue in the future with the proposed ASRS provider.

Two sockets are available for communications by the new ASRS - Port 9000 for sending transactions to LMP and Port 9001 for receiving transactions from LMP. The

ASRS / WMS will be the server side of the connections with LMP for both sending and receiving transactions; LMP will be the client side of the connection

Data will be sent from LMP to the proposed ASRS host server; the ASRS solution will receive data in the SAP IDoc (Intermediate Document) format or in an agreed to file format. LMP sends all transactions though Port 9001 that it has in its queue, followed by an end of transmission. The new ASRS must acknowledge this end of transmission. LMP may establish multiple concurrent connections.

Data passed between the ASRS system and LMP must ride over a VPN encrypted tunnel to exchange data over the NIPRNET.

The ASRS system and LMP currently use the Army NIPR network; this will continue in the future with the proposed ASRS provider. ASRS vendor will need to provide assurances to TYAD that interfaces can be executed and maintained through similar successful SAP based interface connections.

5.1.5.2. Outbound Transactions (LMP to ASRS)

When the ASRS detects a message in its socket connection, it begins the process of receiving a transaction from LMP. After the transaction has been received, the ASRS will check the message number within the transaction. If it matches the last message number and the transaction is identical to the last one received, an acknowledgment

(ACK) message is returned on the same socket connection.

ASRS will than listen for another transaction or for a new connection on the port.

When LMP has nothing else to send, it will disconnect from the socket.

LMP can make multiple connections to the port. The ASRS system must support multiple connections and receiving transactions on all connections.

5.1.5.3. Inbound Transactions (ASRS to LMP)

The ASRS will send messages from its transaction tables to LMP through its socket connection.

Once a transaction is sent, LMP will send an acknowledgement message back to the

ASRS indicating receipt. Transactions should be logged in ASRS the transaction record. If an ACK is not received, the transaction is will need to be re-sent with the same message number.

Once an ACK is received, the ASRS can then send its next transaction. When transactions are complete, an EOT message will be returned with the transaction counter in the message set to the number of transactions sent since the last EOT.

The socket is disconnected and listening resumes on the port.

5.1.6. LMP Interface Communications and Messaging

5.1.6.1. The proposed ASRS vendor will be required to convert the current data from the existing ASRS and load materials into the new ASRS system. Data will be provided in an agreed upon format (Excel spreadsheet, CSV file or flat file). The required data record format and test protocol to assure this is done seamlessly will be determined during the detailed design phase of implementation.

The vendor will be responsible will be responsible for performing all data migration trial loads, and provide the proper validation record for each trial loads prior to final conversion.

5.1.6.2. Data Transaction and Messages

There are three (3) types of messages sent between LMP and the ASRS. A data transaction message (6 exist, that are depicted in detail), and End-of-Transmission message (EOT), and an Acknowledgment message (ACK).

All transactions are fixed length; all fields within each transaction are fixed length.

The LMP system is in complete control of the interface, as it decides when to connect to ASRS to send and receive messages.

Six (6) data transactions are sent between the ASRS and LMP systems. The EOT and

ACK messages are not considered data transactions, as they are made up of header information only with no message body.

5.1.6.3. Data Transactions

Three transactions are sent by LMP to the ASRS.

L – Expected receipt (store request)

F – Single component pick request

D – Transfer WBS-to-WBS (inventory ownership change)

Three transactions are sent by the ASRS to LMP.

3 – Gain…
