4.2 Development Trend of Logistics Software
? Function depth is perfect
With the continuous deepening of logistics information construction, logistics software will continue to deepen in terms of application, this deepening mainly develops two directions:
(1) From the depth of business, such as in the warehousing operation, work management will be more flexible. If the past management only notes the management and control of the upper shelves and picking operations, establish the corresponding job plan, and through RF equipment Or print job allows the check code to control the job, the next generation of warehouse management software can not only complete the above functions, and can automatically configure job programs according to the material characteristics, job quantity and user order requirements, according to the job. Warehouse physical conditions optimize the plan.
(2). From the wide business, the logistics software system will continue to expand its functional extension, so that the system is more friendly and real-time data communication and sharing interfaces such as ERP, Accounting applications such as ERP, Accounting. In addition, the system will be scientifically treated for various unexpected operations, enabling the system to have stronger adaptability for industry characteristics.
? Various business system information real-time interaction and access
Has strong EAI integration capabilities, and achieve real-time exchange capabilities of information with partners' application systems through this technical ability, because EAI technology has strong industry characteristics, in fact, in the past due to the limitations of application system planning, The cost of EAI is particularly high, and there is no full-featured EAI product. Therefore, EAI has high risks. Now, with the continuous spread of Internet technology and the continuous development of the network operating system, EAI technology has also risen. A new level, CA company as an example, CA's Ca's Clever-path, and Advantage Series products are EAI development tool products customized according to the industry's industry characteristics. The application of these products is truly reduced the EAI cost of the company and the implementation risk of EAI.
? Application monitoring and unified management
As the information construction of enterprises is gradually deepening, companies' IT equipment have great growth from quantity or technical complexity, and the type and quantity of application software products are getting higher and higher, based on ITIL based on ITIL The concept of centralized business monitoring management is produced.
Through centralized business monitoring, enterprise IT managers do not have to run in the West to find faults, and enterprise IT managers will quickly find the entire network and the location of application system failures through system monitoring views, so that passive management changes into active management. Improve application system work efficiency and reduce the operating stability of the software system.
? Code unified and complete integration of information resources
As early as the end of the 1980s, HP put forward the e-commerce environment, how to unify the material and its properties. At present, the world's more famous coding system is mainly divided into two geography, one is UNSPSC, the second is Nato auslang, The Nato AusLANG uses a new attribute table and the attribute structural value structure, and the unspsc uses a traditional material classification system and encodes. Since UNSPSC is based on the manufacturer's encoding and self-coding, the UNSPSC mode cannot solve the product description unique and the code is unique.
The use of NATO AUSLANG is our proposed software tool. The main energy supply of the tool is to describe the product as the center, and the product system communication and product attributes have been described by establishing attribute structural tables and attribute structural values. Sexual unified description and lay a good foundation for the establishment of new e-commerce.
