Warehouse Management

• Real time data received from sensors/beacons ensure that actual inventory levels are measured.
• Real-time updates on inventory count, alerts for mismatch between inventory data in ERP and actual inventory in warehouse.
• Restocking process becomes more efficient and stock out losses are avoided.
• Automated Navigation within Warehouse.
• End-to-End visibility on inventory.

Architecture:

Solution Details:

• Scenario 1: Beacons as a constant and receivers as a variable.
• Scenario 2: Beacons as a variable and receivers as a constant
• Scenario 3: Beacons and receivers both as a variable

Real Time Dashboard:

Devices -Perspective:

• Beacons –Attached to Item/Parts to identify Location
• Beacons with unique id tagged to each Item
• Zone/Locators –Attached to Shelf / Locators to identify inventory in each rack.
• Operator forklifts equipped with Mobile/Tab to identify –Items and locations

Challenges:

• Lack of end-to-end visibility on inventory
• Mismatch between inventory data in ERP and actual inventory in warehouse
• Daily stock taking is virtually impossible
• Errors in order processing resulting in missing items
