Smart warehouse

IoT and automation that change how a warehouse runs, with lower cost and higher throughput

Smart warehouse overview

This solution brings together the Internet of Things, RFID, robot automation, and big data so a warehouse can run with far less manual handling. RFID readers, barcode scanners, AGV vehicles, smart racking, and environmental sensors cover goods from receiving through storage and stocktake to dispatch. The system connects to WMS and ERP, so the warehouse and the rest of the business stay in step. Throughput rises, labor cost falls, stock sits less long, and the wider supply chain is easier to compete with.

Core modules

Automated warehouse work from the dock to the report

Receiving

RFID or a barcode scan identifies the goods, checks them against the order, assigns a location, and writes the receipt, so fewer mistakes and a faster inbound.

Slotting

Location advice follows the goods, how often they move, and their size and weight, so zones make sense, space is used, and picks are shorter.

Stocktake

RFID counts many items at once, without a person scanning each one, and stocktake throughput rises by more than 10 times. The system compares the book to the floor and writes a variance report so the two match.

Picking

Pick-to-light and voice picking, with a shortest-path calculation, guide the picker. Pick accuracy approaches 100%.

Warehouse environment

Temperature and humidity, smoke detection, and access control are watched live. Goods that need a controlled room stay inside their limits, so an environmental fault does not become a loss.

Operating reports

Turnover, space use, and labor efficiency are reported as KPIs, so managers can see how the warehouse is running and move people and space accordingly.
