[ad_1]
Project Background
The customer is a leading auto parts manufacturer in the industry. As the market environment changes and production capacity increases, the role of warehouse management is becoming more and more important for the entire supply chain. Most of the customer’s warehouse environment is high-rise shelves, divided into 8 floors, above 8 meters in height, and an area of about 1500 square meters. Corresponding warehouse management operations are all high-level forklift operations. At present, there are thousands of boxes of goods daily and the business volume continues to increase with the development of the business. The problems caused by the backward warehouse management methods are becoming more and more serious.
client needs
The customer’s needs are mainly focused on the establishment of an information management system that belongs to its unique inventory management business model. Currently, customers have an ERP system, but the inventory management function of the ERP system is very simple, and the process does not match the reality. Manual input of data such as in and out of the warehouse Computers, processes are complex, inefficient and prone to data entry errors. At the same time, when companies want to conduct more business activities, they lack effective methods. This brings about a series of management problems, and leads to problems such as decreased customer service satisfaction, increased labor costs, and management confusion.
The key challenge is to establish an efficient business process and improve the lean management through an information system. The client hopes to improve the business process of the warehouse through new technologies and to cooperate more closely with other supply chain links.
Smart application of business-oriented RFID solutions
Regarding the construction of enterprise informatization, both managers and CIOs put “the enterprise’s need for management or optimization of business processes” in the first place. Market competition requires enterprises to respond to customers faster, at lower costs, and in the supply chain. Services are more complete, and warehouse management, as the central hub of the supply chain, is the top priority. The application of RFID in warehouse management has greatly improved efficiency and enhanced business agility, helping to meet this ever-increasing market demand.
System architecture design
Combining the existing infrastructure to create an information infrastructure, which can be expanded quickly and effectively, improves the efficiency of resource utilization, makes the system and business processes effectively coordinated, and can flexibly connect with other systems of the enterprise.
RFID equipment selection
Select industrial-grade RFID readers and metal-resistant electronic tags. In order to read the tags reliably and efficiently, strict tests were carried out in the application environment to counter the key challenges of the complex environment.
Accurate data collection
In the warehousing and inventory business, RFID technology can be used to carry out long-distance non-contact automatic identification and acquisition of information, and can avoid the occurrence of manual data collection errors, truly achieve the accuracy and real-time performance of business processing, and fully meet the real-time requirements of enterprises. Data management needs.
Improve operational efficiency
The key business processes are fully integrated, and on the basis of the warehouse storage business, corresponding applications have been developed in the location classification, intelligent guidance, and data statistical analysis, which improves the operating efficiency from an overall perspective.
Reduce overall cost
The perfect integration of RFID technology and a new generation of information technology can greatly reduce the personnel requirements of auto parts management and the time to respond to customers, and reduce enterprise costs to the greatest extent.
Visual navigation service
Forklift staff can perform related business operations through the RFID reader and tablet computer installed on the forklift. The visual navigation system can help the staff quickly find the location of the goods, which is helpful for inventory operations such as warehousing and picking.
Project value
The construction of the warehouse management system based on RFID technology has been completed, meeting the personalized and complex needs of customers’ unique needs. It provides reliable and advanced tools for the informatization of customers’ warehouse management, and simplifies and optimizes core business processes. A unique identification is provided for each piece of goods, and the management of the account is consistent. The comprehensive RFID solution integrates business processes to help customers carry out various innovative warehouse management businesses and reduces the total cost of ownership.
Solutions based on RFID technology have been extensively penetrated into the customer’s business process, and seamlessly connected with the ERP system, making the warehousing business the hub of the entire supply chain. In addition to improving daily work efficiency and more standardized management, it is more important to obtain real-time and accurate data to realize insight into the warehousing business and transform it into smarter decision-making.
In the next stage, we will have closer communication with customers, and build on the basic management platform based on sorting, warehouse-in/out strategies, and personal task management platform functions to expand more abundant applications.
