The whole software business and the enterprise warehouse logistics management of each link coincides with the realization of real-time effective control of inventory management.

Here are a few basic WMS functions:

I. Cargo Management

Using the data collector to read the product bar code, query the specific location of the product in the cargo space, (such as X products in the A cargo area B channel C cargo space), to achieve all-round management of the product. Through the terminal or data collector real-time view of the storage of the cargo volume of the cargo space, the size of the space and the maximum capacity of the product, management of the area, capacity, volume and equipment limits of the cargo warehouse.

Second, product quality inspection

Third, product warehousing

Material Distribution

According to the different cargo positions generated by the ingredients list contains very detailed information about the ingredients, including dosage time, dosage stations, dosage details, dosage quantities, etc., the relevant custodian in the picking can be based on the barcode information to automatically form a warning on the wrong dosage of the details and the number of information can be early warning prompts to greatly improve the efficiency of the warehouse management staff.
