Smart warehousing and logistics

1. Core Components

• Hardware layer: UHF RFID tags (attached to goods/pallets, storing unique IDs and goods information), fixed readers (installed at inbound and outbound ports and passageways), handheld readers (used for inventory and picking), and antennas (to enhance signal coverage).

• Software layer: RFID middleware (processes reader data), WMS (warehouse management system, core module, interfaces with ERP and other systems), visualization platform (real-time display of inventory location and goods flow).

2. Application of key processes

1. Intelligent Warehousing: After the goods arrive at the warehouse, the fixed reader at the warehousing port automatically identifies the RFID tags on the pallets/goods, quickly matches the order information, generates an warehousing order and allocates storage locations, eliminating the need for manual scanning throughout the process and improving efficiency by more than 50%.

2. Dynamic storage: The system records the storage location of goods. When goods are moved (such as during warehouse relocation), the handheld reader updates the location information to ensure that the inventory data is synchronized with the actual location in real time, avoiding the difficulty of finding goods.

3. Automated inventory: No manual item-by-item verification is required. By scanning the area with a handheld reader or a channel reader, thousands of items can be inventoried in one hour. The data is automatically uploaded to the system, increasing the inventory accuracy rate from 85% to 99.9%.

4. Precise picking: The system generates picking tasks based on orders. Staff receive instructions through handheld readers and scan RFID tags to confirm goods, avoiding mispicking and omissions, and improving picking efficiency by 30%.

5. Efficient outbound delivery: When goods are shipped out, the fixed reader automatically verifies whether the goods information matches the order. If an error occurs, the system will issue an alarm in real time and automatically generate an outbound order to complete the data loop.

3. Core Values

• Cost reduction: Reduce labor costs (such as inventory and warehousing personnel) by 30%-50% and reduce after-sales costs caused by incorrect or missing shipments.

• Improve efficiency: Increase efficiency of processes such as warehousing, inventory counting, and outbound delivery by more than 50%, and shorten the goods turnover cycle.

• Controllable: Through the visualization platform, managers can view inventory quantity, goods location, and logistics nodes in real time, achieving full-process traceability.
