Warehouse automation: how to automate processes and accounting in a company’s warehouse?

ABM WMS system is a high-quality warehouse automation tool that can be used to organize efficient warehouse operation, goods accounting, and business processes of any complexity.

The question “How to automate a warehouse?” can only be answered by identifying weaknesses in its operation. To do this, implementation experts conduct a pre-project study of the warehouse.

Upon completion of the pre-project study, the audit experts will compile a report on the results of the current warehouse operation, indicate data on weaknesses and opportunities for their elimination, and help build a chain of logistics processes and a model of an effective information system for the warehouse.

The ABM WMS warehouse accounting program includes the following functions

The program for warehouse accounting ABM WMS has the functionality to automate the main processes of the warehouse:

  • Warehouse topology – automatic creation of storage addresses (letters, numbers), development of various combinations of address identifiers, integration into the address storage system.
  • Picking and shipping – order planning, taking into account batches and delivery times, assembly, packaging, placement, loading, kitting, and problem solving technologies.
  • Acceptance – online quantity and quality control, repackaging, labeling and palletizing, acceptance of oversized goods, cross-docking and weight control.
  • Storage – implementation of various technologies and types of storage (for example, address storage).
  • Batch accounting and traceability – traceability of goods throughout the entire supply chain by understanding the characteristics of the goods: expiration date, production date, customer ID, serial number, batch composition.

ABM WMS warehouse accounting software also automates the process of taking inventory in the warehouse. This allows you to significantly increase the efficiency of the warehouse, since the inventory can be carried out without the need to completely stop the warehouse.

Accounting for goods in a warehouse and its optimization depends on the area and size of the warehouse complex itself. For example, at small facilities, it is more appropriate to conduct warehouse accounting of goods using individual selection. This is due to the number of warehouse personnel, the remoteness of the storage locations of commodity items from each other, as well as the optimal order picking time and small assortment. In warehouse complexes with a large area and more remote storage locations, such tools as complex selection, zone or wave order picking will work more efficiently. These approaches will help optimize picking time by making good use of human and time resources in the order picking process.
