Warehouse Management System Boosts Business Efficiency

For large convenience store or supermarket chains, the management of product storage, shipping, ordering and receiving would be extremely time-and-labor consuming

were it to be implemented by handwritten recording using manual processes. However, advances in bar-coding, communications and database technologies are helping

the grocery industry to optimize their stock management and distribution networks with great accuracy and real-time efficiency, thereby cutting associated costs and labor

and increasing their competitiveness.

For example, in the past, many employees at convenience stores spent a lot of time and labor in receiving, checking and recording newly arrived stock during certain

period of time in each working day. Similar labor was expended at the warehouse side when the ordered goods were moved from storage for shipping; warehouse

workers have to check orders and move the right items to the right places.

Nowadays, most retailing giants have successfully deployed warehouse and distribution system which utilizes automatic identification and data capture technology, such

as barcode scanners, wireless LANs and radio-frequency identification (RFID) to efficiently monitor the flow of stock, and thereby eliminate much of the inefficiency and

inaccuracy resulting from manual processes.



In such applications, employees at warehouses use a barcode scanner to

read the barcodes on grocery items which are being moved from storage, 

and then distributed via an automatic conveyor system according to a

compiled shipping list, and forwarded to designated vehicles for transport

to a temporary storage locations or retail stores. The scanned data is

immediately transmitted to a computer at the warehouse, which is linked to

the central database at a back office that monitors how the goods are sent

to temporary storage locations or to end retail stores.


At the receiving end, retail store employees use their barcode scanners to acknowledge the arrival of newly arrived items and check for consistency. The read data will be immediately stored in the inventory database of the retail store, which is also linked to the central database at the headquarters.  Additionally, today's industrial computer technologies are powerful enough to handle multiple tasks other than just management of goods. A good IPC with rich I/O and robust CPU performance can support additional functionalities, such as electronic shelf labels (ESLs), digital signage displays and video surveillance in the retail locations, allowing for great flexibility and scalability of application development and maximizing benefits of the system.



Application Architecture

For such applications as described above, each warehouse and retail store needs to install an industrial PC (IPC) as a controller hub at each location. These controllers

are connected to a central server at the back office, sharing the same product data files, so that information updates can be synchronized for real time consistency.   In

addition to supporting barcode scanners and data storage and transmission, the IPC controllers at retail locations can be used to develop additional applications. For

example, the deployment of an electronic shelf label systems, which uses small wireless plastic modules installed on shelves or other fixtures in place of traditional paper

labels to display prices and other information—such as discount—on LCD or LED screens as controlled from a back room. This is particularly efficient in a grocery

environment—especially that of a large retail chain which often needs to administer thousands of price changes on a regular basis.


Functions

Warehouse/inventory management:

The supply chain and distribution network hub, which can be integrated with accounting/ordering and shipping software systems, radio frequency and barcode hardware, warehouse automation equipment, etc., to reduce inventory and labor costs and allow for higher level of efficiency and accuracy. The system can be optimized when incorporated into the company's enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
