RFID technology brings new vitality to warehouse management

For a long time, the competition of production-oriented enterprises has been fierce and the market has changed greatly, and the warehouse management methods of such enterprises have dragged down the development of enterprises. Warehouse inbound and outbound management is cumbersome; manual counting errors occur frequently; problems such as high data delay have become pain points for production-oriented enterprises.

In the long-term R&D service of warehouse management system, we found that:

1. The daily management of warehouse in and out of the enterprise is very frequent, and a large amount of materials are in and out every day. In order to meet the needs of production, the warehouse staff are often exhausted, and it is difficult to carry out the operation of sending materials and warehousing in accordance with the standardized in and out system. It is often not processed in time, which is easy to cause mistakes and omissions.

2. The discrepancy between the actual quantity of materials received and the material quota resulted in untrue inventory data in the material warehouse, and at the same time caused the loss of control of these materials, covering up some management problems in the workshop.

3. The discrepancy between the actual quantity of materials received and the material quota resulted in false stock data in the material warehouse, and at the same time caused the out-of-control of these materials, covering up some management problems in the workshop.

4. Due to the variety of materials in the warehouse, under the premise that the warehouse cannot be understood, the problem of sluggish materials caused by repeated accumulation of inventory occupies the limited resources of the enterprise, and it is difficult to count, analyze and deal with sluggish materials in a timely manner dealt with, resulting in large losses.

The operation process of RFID warehouse management informatization in various types of applications:

On the one hand, RFID electronic tags can be used for inventory counting. Through the ultra-high frequency handheld terminal, the RFID electronic tags that have been attached with commodity information are collected and counted, and then the collected information is centrally processed by the computer to form an inventory report.

On the other hand, RFID electronic tags can be used for output, storage and stocking. Before delivery, download the delivery product information and customer order information to the mobile terminal. After arriving at the delivery customer, open the mobile terminal, call out the customer's corresponding order, and then select the goods according to the order status and verify its electronic label to confirm delivery of a customer. After receiving the goods, the mobile terminal will automatically verify the delivery status and give corresponding prompts.

Inbound management establishes an interface with ERP procurement plan and arrival plan, and conducts strict process control from material warehousing to warehousing inspection and putting on shelves. The wireless terminal can be used to quickly specify the storage location (stock location) of the material according to the established regulations, so as to achieve the orderly storage of the material and realize accurate batch processing. The outbound operation specifies the specific location and quantity of outbound items according to the outbound plan, and adopts the batch collection method of UHF reader-writer to improve the speed and accuracy of outbound, and avoid manual operation errors.

Whether it is a production enterprise or a logistics enterprise, the inspection of incoming goods in the warehouse is necessary. The wireless warehouse management system supports rapid on-site inspection entry and provides quality analysis of the source of the item (such as a raw material supplier). Establish the corresponding relationship between raw material batches and finished products, and realize the quality traceability from finished products to raw materials. The timely data can be directly sent to the management personnel through the wireless warehouse management system. Even if the management personnel are not at the computer, they will receive a piece of information recording the content of the report.

Through RFID warehouse management, the data in the warehouse can be "cleared every day", and the data acquisition is simply "at your fingertips". Through RFID electronic tag scanning and wireless rapid transmission, the on-site data collection is fast, and the accuracy rate is close to 100%. Eliminate the chance and cost of human error. At the enterprise level, through the "mastery" of inventory and order information, order delays and delivery errors are greatly eliminated, inventory occupation is reduced, "error" costs are eliminated, work efficiency is greatly improved, and customer satisfaction is improved. Improve corporate image and competitiveness.

The application of UHF RFID technology in warehouse management system has the following advantages:

1. Improve warehouse management accuracy, management accuracy and convenience of operation;

2. To improve the efficiency of the enterprise, with the assistance of RFID technology, two kinds of electronic labels for goods packaging and goods location are used for warehouse management;

3. Realize fine inventory management;

4. Improve the accuracy of entry, exit, storage, and movement to track warehouse goods;

5. It is conducive to purchasing and making order plans, and accurately records the inventory of materials corresponding to the location;

6. The warehouse staff can quickly locate the goods according to the label and automatically adjust the warehouse position in the system;

7. In inventory counting, separate from documents to improve inventory efficiency;

8. Effectively distinguish between physical inventory and listed inventory, effectively manage the time difference between invoices and objects, and facilitate warehouse and financial reconciliation.

Through RFID technology, each person can be equipped with an RFID electronic tag. Through the RFID reading devices installed throughout the factory, each product has its own "identity code". Through the UHF RFID reading equipment distributed in various circulation links, the location of the product can be known at any time, so that the manufacturing company can know the whereabouts of its products well, thereby helping the company to achieve information standardization and rapid Logistics Management. Through the real-time data processing method of the RFID warehouse management system, the response speed of the system can be improved, high-quality services can be provided for customers, and real-time and accurate decision-making reference data can be provided for managers. It fundamentally guarantees the accuracy and unity of the actual operation, logistics status and background database anytime, anywhere, and at the same time further improves the operation efficiency and truly realizes the scientific management of the warehouse.
