A bespoke goods management system can reduce shipping calculation errors and simplify inventory procedures by implementing the integration of bar-code scanners and luggage optimisation.
In recent years, machine-to-machine (M2M) technology has evolved significantly into a sophisticated system that helps rationalise and control all aspects of warehouse operation automation. With the latest M2M system, since it’s combined with a warehouse management system (WMS), you can easily control all the essential equipment for order processing within the warehouse.
This approach will help warehouse managers collect market information that allows for quick decision-making when verifying operating procedures.
All warehouses should consider the introduction of the latest order fulfillment technology on the market. By using various warehouse IT solutions, we can maximise the productivity of order production and improve accuracy. There are two main solutions: Pick-to-Light and Put-to-Light. These technologies automate the warehouse process and provide a more efficient and lower-cost solution than the manual selection method.
These systems use a specific light screen to guide a warehouse operator to the location of the product. The operator can make it easier to know which product to select and how many are there. These systems are extremely flexible and the management has the ability to plan, manage and analyse selected orders.
This system helps an operator know how and where to place the products in a warehouse in order to place orders. These systems are very efficient in terms of selection of bulk material. The technology is ideal for clothing, personal care products, sporting goods, supermarkets, convenience foods, retail stores dealing with general merchandise.
For selection, reception, setting and replenishment, there’s a hands-free technology that uses voice commands for the warehouse. This method is similar to RF and is a flexible option for completing orders.
Benefits of voice task technology:
In order to control and effectively manage the operating costs of the warehouse, managers should invest in labour management technology. While the measurement of productivity may seem a challenge, investment in labour management systems will help gather relevant information. In combination with a WMS, we can easily promote the reduction of personnel costs.
Training is also an important part of warehouse management. The innovative technology to consider is the use of a learning management system to regularly train warehouse operators. These training systems are easy to use and are designed to create training materials and structures that meet your needs.
Future technologies such as Pick-by-Vision, electronic data exchange, drones etc. will soon become the mainstream of the industry. Our team will help you choose an appropriate technology that will be key to the improved functioning of your warehouses and supply chains.
