Similarities And Differences Of Warehouse versus Distribution Centre ( Technology-driven )
A view on the technology used in a distribution center handling liquor. God bless.
The distribution center of today must have in place state-of-the-art order processing, transportation management and warehouse management systems if it is to scan bar codes, plan loads, process orders and locate product efficiently.
As seen in the video. this does not only include machines such as conveyor belts and ASRS systems, but also the latest software such as IntelliTrack and DeCSS when handling those orders and to keep track of the products.
One of the them available in the market now is the RFlD-based resource management system (RFID-RMS) which is designed in helping users to select the most suitable resource usage package for handling distribution center operation order by retrieving and analyzing useful knowledge from a case based data warehouse for solutions in both time saving and cost effective manner. The proposed system, which is suitable for usage in warehouse operating environment, enhances the effectiveness in formulating resource usage package by integrating the case-based reasoning techniques and automatic data collection technique, namely, radio frequency identification (RFID) through applying RFID-RMS in GENCO distribution system, one of the largest international distributions and logistics based company. The utilization of warehouse resource is maximized while work efficiency is greatly enhanced.
The level of technology for distribution centers have in recent times risen sharply and will continue to do so in the future.

ReplyDeleteNot all the MHEs used in DCs, are being used in a warehouse. It actually depends on what kind of inventory they r carrying too. Since Dcs are more customer-focused, they tend to have better MHEs than warehouses. But the common MHEs will still be used in both Dcs and warehouse.
