To optimize work in a warehouse, it is necessary to automate it and establish a certain system of movement of goods in it.
A warehouse is one of the most important links in the structure of any company that owns it.
An automated warehouse contributes to the successful operation of a company, its superiority over others by improving its image, productivity, accuracy in the shipment and receipt of goods, as well as reducing time and labor costs.
The use of wireless solutions in modern business plays a key role in the process of building an effective information infrastructure and accounting for the movement of goods.
Wireless communication significantly increases the efficiency of employees, solves the problems of increasing labor productivity, reduces the costs of using cable infrastructure, creates discipline for storing goods and property in each section of the warehouse area, reduces the risk of unauthorized use of warehouse space, loss or damage, missorting and shortage of goods.
The basis of warehouse work using the latest «WI-FI» technologies is bar coding, which allows the use of specialized equipment, such as:
Data collection terminals — this is a specialized industrial minicomputer designed to solve a certain range of trade automation and accounting tasks by reading the barcode entered on the product.
Mobile data collection terminals equipped with a barcode scanner will find application in a store, warehouse, pharmacy and restaurant.
Label printers– a device that allows you to print a barcode on labels.
It is possible to connect barcode printers to electronic scales — then the printed code will contain both the internal code and the weight of the product.
Handheld barcode scanners — devices that allow you to read information from product labels in the form of a barcode and transfer it to a computer, POS terminal or cash register.
Wireless WiFi communication equipment — This is equipment for organizing wireless communication between mobile devices and personal computers based on the wireless data transmission channel WiFi 802.11.
With the help of wireless WiFi communication, many companies were able to automate trade, warehouse storage, excise labeling, assembly and control of serial numbers, etc.
In 2007 and 2008, the KEEP COUNT Warehouse solution took a leading position in the bar coding and radio frequency identification (RFID) market.
