Barcode technology was first produced in the turbulent 1920s and was born in Westinghouse’s laboratory. An eccentric inventor named John Kermode “whimsically” wanted to realize automatic sorting of postal documents and record the original barcode of the product.Barcode is a set of bars and empty symbols arranged according to a certain coding rule to represent information composed of certain characters, numbers and symbols. It is a machine-readable language. It is a symbol arranged by black and white bars according to a certain rule. , The data composed of these bars and spaces

Spare parts logistics is a comprehensive logistics activity that aims to ensure the timely and effective supply of spare parts, so as to provide support for the normal operation of the enterprise and the after-sales service of products. It is an indispensable part of the after-sales service of a company. It can create direct profits for the company by selling spare parts, and it can cultivate customer loyalty and improve customer satisfaction, thereby indirectly creating considerable profits for the company; Reducing the operating cost of the enterprise and recycling the faulty components can effectively protect the environment and create huge social benefits.
1. The background and significance of the application of barcode technology in spare parts logistics
Disorganized material warehouses, complicated production preparations and the difficulty of ensuring the accuracy of procurement plans are problems faced by almost all large-scale manufacturing enterprises. In order to solve this problem, the spare parts logistics center took the lead in implementing the WMS system and bar code technology within the company in 2008, and realized the bar code management of the entire process of inbound and outbound and in-stock management. After the successful implementation, it began to report to other Promotion and implementation by business department.
The spare parts logistics center is a large-scale logistics center that provides pure parts of Zoomlion to 4S stores at home and abroad. The warehouse area is about 6000 square meters, with dozens of employees. It processes dozens of orders sent to and Ranging from several million. Therefore, the whole process of order tracking is particularly important. The implementation of the logistics management information system has solved this problem to a certain extent. All SKUs (minimum stock units) entering the warehouse are labeled and then used with RF (radio frequency) equipment. In this way, a series of batch attributes such as the specific location and warehousing time of each SKU can be recorded.
Before the logistics information system was used, all the warehousing and inventory management were implemented on the ERP, and the operation was relatively random. The warehousing only needs to fill in the quantity to receive or deliver the goods, and there is no certain review function. The implementation of barcode technology in the spare parts warehouse greatly reduces such errors. Every entry and exit record and adjustment are strictly controlled, and the process requirements must be strictly followed. On the surface, some processes have been added, but in fact, each step is strictly controlled. The process reduces the chance of error and improves the efficiency of logistics management.
2. The specific application of barcode technology in spare parts logistics management
The application of barcode technology in the management of spare parts logistics center is comprehensive. Bar codes should not be regarded as just a substitute for keyboard input. In practical applications, because bar codes provide management features that may not be possible in the past, the use of bar codes may greatly change the original supply chain management mode. Spare parts warehouse barcodes use two-dimensional barcodes. Two-dimensional barcodes can record the characteristics of goods in detail, which has changed the situation that only the batch number or category of goods can be recorded in the past. This change in quantity actually brings a qualitative change. In the past, the barcode was just a simple database index, but the two-dimensional barcode actually became the “identity card” of the item, and all the information does not need to rely on the existence of the database.
In this sense, the implementation of barcode technology is a BPR (Business Process Reorganization) process for logistics management. The following discussion is only a few examples of the application of barcode technology in the logistics field.
(1) Material management
For manufacturing enterprises, material management is an important part of enterprise resource planning. The benefits of applying barcodes in material management are manifold. The identification of materials by bar codes lays the foundation for the establishment of product archives. Through the data reflected by the barcode, the manager can easily know the source and batch of the critical parts of a certain finished product. These data can be used as the feedback input of the material management to form a closed loop of the material management control.
There have been many successful cases of barcode application in material management in China, such as Changsha Cigarette Factory, Shanghai Volkswagen and other large manufacturing companies.
(2) Operation management
The application of bar codes in job management is mainly embodied in the fact that bar codes become a tool that links each link of the workflow. Taking warehouse operations as an example, the links between inspections, stock preparation, sorting, and shelves are very complicated. In the traditional operation mode, the business center and the warehousing staff usually communicate on paper documents to complete the work flow. After the barcode is applied, a semi-automated operation management method can be established with the help of the local area network. The business center sends the business instructions directly to the warehouse management system through ERP or other systems. The warehouse staff receives the instructions through the handheld terminal and scans the barcode to confirm that the work is completed accurately and accurately. The completion status of the warehouse staff is immediately transmitted back to the warehouse management system. And get confirmed in ERP.
Compared with paper receipts, the use of bar codes and wireless networks can greatly improve work efficiency. At the same time, bar codes also greatly reduce the possibility of misoperation and promote the improvement of workflow.
