A properly implemented Warehouse Management Solution (WMS) enables companies to maximize labor and space utilization and equipment investments by coordinating and optimizing resource use and material flows.
The functionality covers the operations of reception, storage, inventory management (physical and cycle counting), assignment of tasks, planning of wave picking, preparation of orders, replenishment, packaging, shipping, and the open interfaces for integration of material management equipment (put-to-light systems, classifiers, carousels, etc.).
Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems, used together with one-dimensional or two-dimensional codes and, increasingly, RFID technology provide an agile and friendly interface with the system operator.
