Warehouse logistics in the digital age - new technologies create the edge
Take your warehouse logistics into the new age.
Real-time inventory without time-consuming counting or manual stock transfers.
Imagine the following scenarios for an Automated Storage Solution:
- The items to be stored are placed in the warehouse where they have the easiest space. The place is not documented. If the article is moved or positioned differently, no software update is required. If the article is searched for, your warehouse solution simply displays the current correct location with an accuracy of a few meters.
- If an article leaves the warehouse, the article is automatically booked to the employee who took it out; if the employee brings the article back to the warehouse, it is booked back again.
- Every employee, whether an old hand or a youngster, can find (not search for) all items in the warehouse.
- Delivery bills can be compared with the prepared delivery with one click in seconds.
The technologies required for this have been around for a very long time, but technical deployment in SME companies has hardly taken place yet.
Harry Stockman is considered the inventor of RFID, this happened in 1948.
RFID e.g.: Simple labels that can be read remotely are an ideal basis for automated logistics.
RFID stands for radio-frequency identification or "identification with the help of electromagnetic waves".
