In the rapid development of information technology today, the intelligence and automation of warehousing and logistics operations have become the key to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.WMS (Warehouse Management System), i.e. Warehouse Management System, as a kind of comprehensive software system, is gradually becoming an important driving force in the field of warehousing and logistics. WMS realizes effective control and tracking of logistics and cost management of warehouse business by optimizing various links such as warehousing, outgoing, inventory management, stocktaking and quality control.
The WMS system adopts B/S architecture and integrates advanced microservices and Html5 technology, which enables the system to be deployed across operating systems, databases and browsers. Whether it is centralized or distributed deployment, public or private cloud hybrid deployment, WMS can flexibly respond to meet the diverse needs of enterprises.
In terms of centralized deployment, WMS system supports group deployment of warehouse management, which can realize effective management of multi-companies, multi-bases, multi-factories, and multi-warehouses (including finished goods warehouse, raw materials warehouse, and workshop lineside warehouse, etc.). At the same time, the system also supports the management of multiple shippers, multiple languages and multiple business types, enabling enterprises to complete complex warehousing and logistics operations on a single platform.
The openness of WMS system is also one of its leading advantages. This system has been successfully docked with the WCS of many automated three-dimensional warehouse vendors such as Beijing Wuqiang, Shenyang Xinsong, Shanghai Spino, Kunshan, etc., and with many ERP vendors such as SAP, Oralce, Tingjie, Kingdee, UFIDA, etc., as well as many MES vendors such as HAND MES, Tengxun MES, etc. In addition, WMS system also provides API and Webservice standard interface and JCO service, which provides great convenience for enterprise system integration.
In terms of refined management, the WMS system covers all aspects of warehouse operations, from receiving, shelving, wave management, picking, reviewing and packing, consolidation and shipping, to warehouse movement, freezing and unfreezing, inventory adjustment and stocktaking. By combining with barcode labels, PDA devices and automation equipment (e.g., conveyor lines, AGVs, etc.), the WMS system improves space utilization, operational efficiency and accuracy, and realizes refined management such as FIFO, multiple batches and multiple units of measurement.
Intelligent strategy management is another highlight of WMS system. The system supports different shelving strategies according to the owner and material attributes, which realizes the timely warehousing of production line products. Meanwhile, through wave management, the system realizes the FIFO allocation strategy, which reduces the walking path and improves the shipping efficiency and inventory turnover rate and inventory accuracy.
The emergence of WMS warehouse management system not only provides enterprises with efficient and intelligent warehousing and logistics solutions, but also injects new vitality into the sustainable development of enterprises.
