Challenges:
Operators decide a put-away place based on their past experience. When a type of products need to change their usual slots, operators cannot timely find another suitable put-away location, and later cannot pick the right stock from the right slot. Inaccurate put-away data prevents operators from seeing where exactly a product is stored and how much storage space is left.
Solution:
Chainway PDA scans products' unique barcode or RFID labels, intelligently assigns all batches of products to their suitable storage slots, provides warehouse workers with the shortest put-away path and pick path, and transfers this put-away information to the backend server via wireless connectivity. Available space is clear for warehouse managers to optimize inventory levels.
Results:
By scanning products' barcode or RFID labels, Chainway PDA recommends to operators the slot from last time. Experienced operators will perform tasks faster, and new operators will run smoother.
When put-away and replenishment is finished, the latest inventory data is transferred to the company's back-end server. Workers and managers have access to real-time inventory level anytime.
Out-of-stocks will never happen for retailers can arrange rapid replacement of goods into the appropriate location based on accurate inventory data.
Enhanced visibility of put-away data optimizes warehouse space utilization.
