WMS is translated as Warehouse Management System, which uses Internet of Things, big data and other technologies to realize intelligent warehouse management, systematic warehouse management, transparent material preparation management, and refine the operation process in the warehouse for enterprises with multiple goods and multiple warehouses.
The system supports the individual needs of enterprises with multi-format, multi-mode, and multi-warehouses, automatically collects and analyzes data information, seamlessly connects upstream and downstream software, provides managers with complete storage information, improves inventory turnover efficiency, improves inventory accuracy, and optimizes Warehouse operation standards to create a real-time, transparent, and visualized warehouse management system.
Below, Xiaozhi will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of the system respectively.
- Advantage
1. Reduce the error rate of manual work and ensure the accuracy of material accounts: the system will verify the pallets and materials in the process of tray assembly and warehousing, so as to avoid the occurrence of wrong materials and untimely delivery of materials in the manual operation mode. , information loss, failure to monitor the whereabouts of materials, etc., to ensure the accuracy of inventory information.
2. Multiple warehousing management: According to actual needs, it can support purchase warehousing, defective product warehousing, order warehousing, inventory warehousing and other operations.
3. Integration of various automation equipment: It can interact with various equipment, such as stacker, AGV, etc., to realize the system scheduling equipment to complete automatic warehouse entry and exit actions.
4. Improve the speed of information feedback: equipment alarms, fire alarm signals, etc., can be fed back to designated personnel in time for intervention.
5. Standardize the operation process: Compared with the traditional inventory management, the system can standardize the inbound and outbound process, avoiding the chaos of traditional manual inventory management.
6. Reduce inventory cost: rationally plan inventory to reduce the risk of inventory backlog.
- disadvantage
1. Strict requirements for tray assembly: higher requirements are placed on the form and quantity of materials on the tray, and it must not be super high or overweight.
2. High requirements for the stability of the network environment: the network environment needs to be kept stable to ensure the real-time data interaction between WMS and other systems.
3. High cost: high cost, including hardware equipment, software, training, maintenance, etc.
4. The system is complex and the technical threshold is high.
