A warehouse management based on bar code technology design

Barcode technology as the basis of the entire warehouse management information systems, inventory management algorithm suitable arrangements for production, not only enables lower costs to a minimum, but also to achieve quality tracking system with bar code can be specific to each batch of product to arrange a different bar code on the same product batch production, but this also gives barcode management complexity, inventory management algorithm in order to improve the economic efficiency of enterprises, the total average cost of a minimum target production of products with a fixed class requirements, taking into account the storage capacity constraint.

From the completion of the production to finished product storage, and then finished out the library, this process using barcode materials management information systems management, electronic countersigned online, and generate a single storage and storehouse, to achieve a paperless management. out of storage error, can be traced to a particular batch of product specific, you can guarantee that the storage is not an error occurs. instant inventory and inventory to generate material statements for statistical analysis according to demand information, inventory information, as well as production costs formulate reasonable production plan. mainly include warehouse management system based on bar code technology to encode and print bar code system, storage of materials management, inventory management, inventory management in a timely manner, the library materials management, statistical reports, system information management function module.

1.1 encoding and printing barcode system used in the production workshop, the workshop production of the finished product, and product information entry, the corresponding bar code system will be generated automatically for the products according to product information and production information, and then, through barcode printer to print barcode, production label, check the correct bar code label on the box to track each box product, the need to create a unique bar code for each box products such coding, both to ensure the uniqueness of the barcode, but also has some flexibility sex.

1.2 storage materials management computer to generate and print the treasury single storage materials checked to confirm correct electronic countersigned by the storekeeper, to complete warehousing and Health Adult Slip.

1.3 inventory management for the label is damaged, and transferred to the relevant information from the database, reprint, subsidies in the shift of the materials, the reader reading, automatic data collection, the collected data is automatically transferred to the computer materials management return the product, there are two solutions: First, re-packing, modify the appropriate information and replace the bar code; fill in the information in the memo field, and marked the return information posted on free data management system. papers Download Center http://eng.hi138.com
1.4 real-time inventory management inventory automatic warning: limited automatic warning of a variety of materials stocks higher or lower than with the average dosage of the various materials, and automatically generate a certain supplies name and number of time need to purchase or production management personnel can timely arrangements for production and effective control of inventory space monitoring: the actual position of the monitor supplies, storage time, space and room for parameters automatically unreasonable position, The ultra-long storage time, lack of space is room for the restrictions imposed by automatic alarm.

The 1.5 library materials management using barcode readers can read, the bar code label on the out library materials packaging and materials courier to the computer, the computer automatically generated based on the number of materials, product name, specifications, quantity storehouse. found that the label is damaged or lost in accordance with the above procedure artificial subsidies. library materials checked inventory ledger processing, confirmation, updated material inventory information.

1.6 statistical reports based on the materials out of storage and inventory information in a timely manner to complete a variety of daily, monthly and annual reports of the inventory management to complete the task within the stipulated time, statistics grassroots units each branch library, factory work.

1.7 System Management is to provide protection for warehouse material management system normal, safe operation. Its main function: Varieties code maintenance, user management, privilege management, log management and data management.

The 2 yards technologies introduced the role of the warehouse management module

2.1 on the materials barcode storage of materials, according to the name of the material specifications and time to generate a barcode and barcode stickers on the corresponding supplies, so, every piece of material will have an identification code by querying bar code, you will see the timespan of the materials, unit price, store location, suppliers, and other related information in the the supplies requisitioned flow link, swept into the bar code, write the required number, and other information will be automatically loaded With barcode management will be able to put an end to the past few suppliers can not accurately distinguish one kind of material; put an end to a supplies several unit price when you can not do one-to-one phenomenon. barcode management The ins and outs of each supplies can do it clearly, so as to effectively control the materials management chaos phenomenon.

2.2 fast, convenient, accurate and timely storage of materials, simply warehouse staff under contract will bar code scanning, storage, and then print out the scanned information flow to the Financial storage lists. Thereby greatly reducing the staff working pressure, supply distribution, very convenient, fast, simply swept into recipients barcode, supplies barcode, fill out the number of the whole process does not need to fill in the text, consuming small, greatly improve work efficiency, and accurate and timely reflection of dynamic inventory, supplies the storage change can be anywhere reflect, so the account conforms to provide a reliable basis for reasonable preparation material procurement plan effective control because the information is not timely inaccurate phenomenon caused by a shortage of inventory or repeat purchases.

Application Effect 3
