Smart warehousing

Service Description

The next link in the digital supply chain is the warehouse, and it promises to become a strategic tool in how companies operate and generate value for their customers. Here, the aim is to improve efficiency and safety through the automation of virtually every ordinary warehousing activity. Indeed, the Industry warehouse will look nothing like our current labor-intensive buildings. The transformation of the warehouse of the future begins with inbound logistics. Trucks on the way to the warehouse will communicate their position and arrival time to the intelligent warehouse management system, this will include every aspect of the inventory being carried, the system will choose and prepare a docking slot, optimising just-in-time and just-in-sequence delivery. RFID sensors will reveal what’s been delivered, and send the track-and-trace data horizontally across the entire supply chain. The management system will automatically allot storage space for the delivery, and assign the appropriate autonomous equipment to move the goods to the right locations. Inside the warehouse, the management software will constantly update inventory in real time, through the use of sensors embedded in the goods and the warehouse itself. Ultimately, the system will deploy flying drones to aid in taking inventory, regularly assessing the whereabouts of goods through sensor data, and mapping the entire facility. Software will also control the internal warehouse environment, including setting the proper temperature, light, and humidity according to predefined requirements. By shutting off the lights and heat in areas where all the work is being done by robots and autonomous vehicles, for example, energy consumption can be reduced significantly.
