Warehousing is extremely important for the manufacturing industry and is an important guarantee for the survival and development of manufacturing enterprises. However, with the expansion of manufacturing enterprises' business, the traditional warehouse management has been unable to respond to business changes quickly. The extensive management mode not only makes the warehouse operation not smooth, but also increases the storage cost. Therefore, it is necessary for manufacturing enterprises to deploy a WMS warehouse management system to achieve refined warehouse management.
WMS warehouse management system can promote the transformation of extensive warehouse management to fine management in manufacturing enterprises, mainly because it has the following application characteristics:
1. Manpower saving: As we all know, the role of modern warehouses is not only storage, but also the center of material flow. The focus of warehouse management is no longer just the storage of materials by manpower, but also how to use modern technology to improve the efficiency of receipt and delivery, while also ensuring accuracy. WMS warehouse management system can improve the efficiency of warehousing, reduce the burden of personnel work, and thus save manpower.
2. Intelligent operation: the application system can make warehouse management simpler and more efficient, and the system can interface with automatic stacker and AGV robot, which greatly liberates the manpower in warehouse management. Intelligent guidance and operation can make the manufacturing enterprise warehouse easily complete daily management work.
3. Reduce error rate: mistakes in manual management are inevitable, such as warehouse delivery, missing parts, missing calculations, and so on. The process specification of WMS warehouse management system and PDA scanning operation can reduce the error rate.
4. Product traceability: the application of WMS warehouse management system can realize product traceability, quality management, product validity tracking, etc., and promote the formation of a full chain traceability system of products with traceable sources, destinations, and responsibilities.
5. Making the inventory easier: The biggest reason why the warehouse work is complicated is that the inventory work is difficult. The inventory work is time-consuming and laborious for the warehouse management personnel. The manual inventory cannot be completed quickly and cannot be guaranteed to be error free. Using WMS warehouse management system and PDA scanning inventory can make inventory easier.
6. External system integration: manufacturing enterprises' businesses in each link are linked. In the past, warehousing was always disconnected from other businesses. There were barriers in each link, which made it impossible to quickly adjust strategies in a timely manner, affecting the normal operation of enterprises. WMS warehouse management system can connect and integrate with ERP, SRM, TMS, MES and other external integrations to achieve data sharing between systems and open up supply chain nodes.
Warehouse is the logistics circulation center of manufacturing enterprises, and its efficient operation has an important impact on the economic benefits of enterprises. Therefore, it is necessary to use WMS storage management system to promote the storage from extensive management to refined management.
