A successful company often understands what kind of products do they need, and provide customers with low cost, high quality, high-performance products. They welcome customers' special requirements and see a chance to be different from their competitors. In recent years, due to the increase in competitive pressure, in the 1990s, the good service of customers has become an advantage. Enterprises want to win in the competition and must change their trade cycle. The current trade cycle should be considered to be driven by customers - "Market is the leader" and emphasize the establishment of a partnership between enterprises in the trading cycle. The most important feature of successful companies is the extent of customer drivers, through providing quality products and services, on-time delivery, low cost and high quality to win customer complete satisfaction.
In order to achieve effective customer service, companies must have the ability to quickly respond quickly to their customers' special business needs. In order to reduce stocks, and improve the performance of orders, it is especially important to take a choice of shipping channels. Due to the influence of geographic factors, it is commonly used for customers to ship from the company's suppliers to customers. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the optimization inventory and pay attention to the equipment. Various resources and space utilization, thereby reaching some management of logistics operations.
The actual layout of the warehouse must be optimized. Make it with the operator, the material is received, and the process and type of delivery and transmission are matched through the main inventory area. The correct definition of the geographic layout of the warehouse helps reduce the mobile time of the goods, improve the warehousing as efficiency, reduce costs, and save money. The geographic layout of the warehouse can be defined as two-dimensional, three-dimensional, freehest or combined. For example, the main warehouse is generally defined as two-dimensional: channel, shelf, and goods. Carrying addresses can be used. The library can be defined in the storage capacity, the pallet type, storage container, shelf type, and special use. The type of cargo treatment can be a large number of storage, temporary storage, return staging, and more. The product's batch control is a key warehouse processing project. The product must be batch number to facilitate tracking of quality, controlling expired materials to ensure that delivery to the customer's hand is a quality requirements.
It can be seen that today's warehouse homework and inventory control operations have been very diverse. It is very difficult to complicate, dealing with manual memory. If you don't guarantee the correct purchase, acceptance, quality assurance and delivery, it will cause waste of time, inventory, delay delivery, increase cost, so that you lose the opportunity to serve customer service. Barcode technology. And combined with information processing technology, ensuring the accuracy of inventory, ensuring the necessary inventory levels and the movement of materials in the warehouse. Consistent with the coordination of purchases, guarantee the optimal inflow, saving and out of the product.
Today's most common technical topics in the warehouse is bar code, accompanied by data storage, transmission, intelligence software, computer platform, and communication networks. Regardless of the logistics flow, we can automatically record the flow of logistics, the combination of barcode technology and information processing technology helps us reasonably, some of the warehouse space, with the fastest, most correct, lowest cost, whether the customer is based on the fastest, most correct, lowest cost. For the best service.
The following examples are listed below: one is a budget, easy to implement a warehouse management program; the other is the management plan for the three-dimensional warehouse.
The first solution can make a written report on each of the warehouses, each library, and can periodically dispense regularly. This approach is very practical for the retail commodity disk library, hospital drug disc library, etc.
Different software and barcode devices should be selected according to different requirements. For example, you need to understand: "Do customers require barcode scanner and host continuous communication?" Is the data batch? "How much is the amount of data collected within a day?" Is a continuous scan or a timed scan? "How long does the result of data processing take a time, hourly, daily, or monthly to the database data. How is the physical location in the warehouse identifies? "When the barcode label of the data item is used, there are other users to scan after the label is departed.
The system shown is to operate such that the warehouse is scanned by the hand-held barcode terminal, and after the delivery of the goods, the corresponding item number (such as part number) on which the goods on the goods (such as part numbers) are scanned and type the item. The quantity, then scan the second breeze and the goods thereon, repeating the above steps until all the goods in the warehouse are clear. The data collected in the barcode terminal is then passed through the communication interface to the PC. All software used by the system is divided into two parts: Part reside in the barcode terminal, and the other part is on the PC (or other small machine, host). The software in the bar code terminal completes only the data acquisition function, which is relatively simple, and the general user can program itself. The software in the PC should include database systems and warehouse management software.
The requirements for completing the barcode terminals that completing the data acquisition function are not high, no complex function (such as ZZ9801). There is a display of 4 lines XL6 characters to display the acquired data and program menus; a keyboard losing material number; a certain capacity data store (256KB ~ 512KB or greater capacity); bar code scanning part can be used (Eg HP305 light pen), CCD (e.g., Cipher Lar L021 CCD), laser gun (usually using a laser gun, because both the pen and the CCD scanner are all contact scanns, can not adapt to the warehouse job - editor Note); a RS -232 serial port as a two-way communication interface with the PC. The program in the terminal is downloaded by the PC, and the data collected by the terminal is uploaded to the PC.
When the warehouse job increases, the number of barcode terminals can be increased. However, the PC does not have to increase, and of course the configuration of the PC is suitable, such as 486 machines or 586 machines, hard drives above 500 megabytes.
In addition, the bar code printer needs to be configured to print a variety of tags: labels for goods, shelf; labels for item identification, and indicate the batch number, quantity. Of course, we must first decide how to identify these items, each item, each unit, each box ... post label, or any other program. In addition, the warehouse member is also identified to facilitate management. How to design the barcode, how to design the label format is to be done in the program phase.
The advantage of this system is that the cost is low and the system is flexible. Users who are unfamiliar with bar code technology can start.
Another example is a management system for a main warehouse. The building area utilized by the main warehouse is 3,200 square meters, 5.5 meters high. There are 5 laneways, including 4 double-extension roadways, a single extension roadway; the load size is about 1.5x1.5x1.1 meters, a total of 3,000, up to 7 floors; cargo box size is 1.2 x0.7x0.7 m The gross weight is 215 kg; the tray is 1.25 x 1.47 x 0.08 meters, and 2 cars are put on each tray. The throughput capacity of the warehouse is 120 car spaces per hour; 80 car spaces / hr in the warehouse, 40 bits per hour.
Working: After removing the container from the container by the trailer, then use the trailer to place the specified orientation on the empty tray of the entry platform. The goods are identified by the bar code recognition system, and the computer system controls the transport system to send the tray to the storage gain of the specified roadway, and then send the cargo box on the tray to the specified carbon.
Outbound operation: According to the outbound job order, enter the warehouse management system, according to the principle of outbound (such as advanced first, etc.), the roadway car will send the goods on the specified load by the instruction. On the library product, it will be sent to the specified outbracery platform by the conveying system.
The system automatically recognizes the tray label passed on the library / outbound delivery system using a fixed barcode reader (e.g., TLMS-3500 RV), and uploads the signal to the computer system in real time. After confirming, the system command delivery line will be The freight box is sent to / out of the corresponding roadway and the location. The system is centered on a computer monitor, and the conveying line control system is directly connected via the RS-232 port. Connect the library barcode reader through a 8-port communication manager and connect directly to the serial module of the programmable controller; connect the library and the roadway barcode reader through a 16-port communication manager, and directly and in the RS-232 port. The monitor is connected.
This system can improve the correctness of the goods from the goods / warehousing to ensure the high quality of the product, and can also change the intensity of artificial handling in the original system. Low working efficiency.
Barcode technology is like a link, connect information that occurs during the product life during the life period, and track the product from the whole process of production to sales, enabling companies in a fierce market competition. And the barcodization ensures accuracy of the data, using bar code devices are both convenient and fast, and the efficiency of automatic identification technology is not compared to the keyboard.
Japanese Sharp Electronics has used barcatocized warehouse management system for four years, and the number of warehouse works increases. The number has not increased, and the inventory accuracy is 100%; the difference rate of delivery and purchase operation is reduced to zero, and some labor Great work is also compressed. In the past, there are more than 200 errors per month in the delivery and storage, and there is often a few months to track these differences after the error occurs, so as not to expand its impact. Now, when the goods go into the library, the operator immediately puts the bar code on the cargo to read with a handheld CCD laser shot, and the data is sent in time to the computer through the data collector; and some bar code readers are directly installed On the lift, the error occurred.
In modern society, the market economy determines that the position of the warehouse is not or missing, but the important transfer of commodity circulation between the market economy and modern enterprises and the necessary infrastructure. Warehouse management achieves modern management means, bar code technology is to ensure the optimization of warehouse operations, make full use of warehouse space, and quickly and conveniently provide quality services to customers.
