1. System background
based onRFIDTechnical warehouse management will change the traditional working methods and processes of warehouse management. All key factors will be affixed with RFID tags to achieve more efficient warehouse management in the core business processes: outbound, inbound, inventory, and inventory control. Precise management. RFID technology has the incomparable advantages of long-distance identification, fast identification, hard to damage, large capacity, and other bar codes, simplifying complicated work processes, effectively improving warehouse management efficiency and transparency, and maintaining lean business operations.
Without efficient warehouse management business processing (such as daily work such as outgoing, warehousing, inventory counting, etc.), and without accurate and timely processing of information, the company’s inventory business operations will spend high manpower, material resources, and time costs, resulting in various resources waste. Common problems existing in traditional warehouse management:
a) Without the use of barcode and RFID management methods, it is difficult for warehouse management to match the booked quantity with the physical quantity;
b) Warehouse management staff has a heavy workload, high work intensity, slow speed and low efficiency;
c) If manual data recording is used, the probability of error is high;
d) All kinds of warehouse operation data are recorded in various ledgers, which makes it inconvenient to query statistics;
e) Without accurate real-time data, the accuracy of procurement plan management is not predictable.
Through in-depth understanding of user needs, our company provides targeted RFID application solutions for industry customers.
2. System function
The important functions of RFID warehouse management system are introduced:
1) Warehouse management
Deploy fixed RFID readers at the door of the warehouse, and carry out radio frequency planning according to the on-site environment. For example, four antennas can be installed up, down, left and right to ensure that RFID electronic tags are not missed. After receiving the warehousing order, put the product into the warehouse according to certain rules. When the RFID electronic tag (ultra high frequency) enters the electromagnetic wave range of the RFID fixed reader, it will be activated automatically, and then the RFID electronic label and RFID fixed reading The writer communicates. When the RFID tag is collected, it will be compared with the order to check whether the quantity and model of the goods are correct. If there are errors or omissions, they will be processed manually. Finally, the goods will be transported to the designated location and placed in accordance with the rules. The main advantage of RFID in warehouse management applications is non-contact long-distance identification, and can be read in batches, which improves efficiency and accuracy.
2) Outbound management
According to the pick-up plan, the goods out of the warehouse are sorted and processed and managed out of the warehouse. If the quantity out of the warehouse is large, push the goods to the door of the warehouse in batches, use a fixed reader to communicate with the tags, collect the RFID electronic tags of the goods out of the warehouse, and check whether they correspond to the plan. If there are errors, manually as soon as possible deal with. For a small amount of goods, RFID handheld terminals can be used to collect information from RFID electronic tags (handheld scanners or RFID tablet computers). When an error occurs, an alarm will be issued, and the staff should deal with it in time, and finally send the data to the management center Update the database to complete the delivery.
3) Inventory management
In accordance with the requirements of warehouse management, conduct regular and irregular inventory. Traditional inventory is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and error-prone. All these RFID solves these problems. When there is an inventory plan, the RFID handheld terminal is used to carry out the inventory scan of the goods, and the information of the inventory can be transmitted to the back-end database through the wireless network and carried out with the information in the database. Comparing, the generated difference information is displayed on the RFID handheld terminal in real time, and it is provided to the inventory staff for verification. After the inventory is completed, the inventory information is checked with the database information in the background, and the inventory is completed. In the inventory process, the system uses RFID non-contact reading (usually within 1 to 2 meters) to read clothing goods information very quickly and conveniently. Compared with the traditional model, it will improve a lot of efficiency and inventory accuracy. sex.
4) Basic information management
Set and manage the attributes of the goods, the main functions are, add, edit, delete, and query the basic attributes of the goods stored in the warehouse. In this way, it can be set according to the attributes of the operating products of different enterprises, and ensure that it meets the individual needs of each enterprise. The warehouse can also be divided into locations, which can be divided into units such as warehouses, areas, and locations, so that large-scale warehouses can be managed more accurately. Warehouse managers at all levels can query and perform related business operations for inventory information of different dimensions.
5) System information management
Fully consider the scalability and security of the system, and provide reasonable tools to ensure system security. System management mainly completes the correction and maintenance of system operating parameters. Complete permissions assignment, add, modify, and delete data forms. At the same time, it has a complete login program (user name and password). Different personnel are given different permissions, which are set by the system administrator. The system also provides a one-key data backup and recovery function, which further ensures the security and continuity of business data.
6) Statistical analysis of data
The system can form statistical reports according to time, quantity and other elements, clarify the turnover period and efficiency, and facilitate the planning and control of the inventory management business process. The unified operation can speed up the speed of goods in and out of the warehouse, thereby increasing the throughput of the inventory center, and can provide Managers and decision makers provide timely and accurate inventory information, which can improve the accuracy of goods inquiries, reduce inventory levels, and improve the efficiency of the logistics system to strengthen the competitiveness of enterprises.
Three, system characteristics
In the entire RFID warehouse management operation, RFID remote identification, mass reading and accuracy are applied to warehouse management in the process of warehouse management, such as outbound, inbound, inventory, and sorting. Use the characteristics of RFID to change traditional inventory management. In this way, intelligently collected data is analyzed and processed to obtain intelligent insights to improve business lean, maximize the investment value of the enterprise, save human resources, and bring a new way of warehouse management to the enterprise.
1) Improve efficiency
Using RFID technology to automatically identify the warehouse in, out of the warehouse, inventory process, improve the efficiency of the warehouse core business management.
2) Reduce manpower
Compared with the traditional way of recording, scanning, inventory and other manual actions, it can reduce personnel requirements and save labor costs.
3) Cost saving
Increase resource utilization, reduce operational complexity, increase customer response speed, and reduce overall operating costs.
4) Lean management
Improve business management, avoid the occurrence of manual collection errors, improve the accuracy of business processing, and meet the lean requirements of the enterprise.
