First steps to warehouse automation

2024-01-24

Warehouse space intelligence solutions centered on automation-based vertical warehouses and micro fullfillment centers are rapidly spreading in warehouses.

Smart logistics aims to improve the efficiency of warehouse operations through digital twinning, which visualizes the entire logistics flow with IoT and AI technology, and complete automation by systematically organizing tasks such as forklifts, AGVs, and picking robots.  Smart logistics incorporates the latest technology to unmannedize the work process of delivery, loading, and picking, solving the problem of manpower shortage and improving the working environment itself by reducing labor costs and preventing human safety accidents.  In addition, the recent spread of online commerce markets has increased the demand for small quantities, multiple products, and fast delivery, which requires a more efficient logistics system, and there is a high demand for data management for all products distributed, and logistics managers can obtain information on the location of products in the system, and optimize SCM (Supply Chain Management) such as consumer demand forecasting, inventory prevention, and first-in, first-out.   

 

 

How does real-time positioning system (RTLS) work in smart logistics? 

GeoPlan enables RTLS (real-time location system) technology to be utilized in smart logistics and warehouses. We offer RTLS solutions for the logistics and warehousing industry with our G-Pixel tags, which not only provide location information but also display the information collected.

G-Pixel is a UWB tag that combines electronic indicator (E-Paper) technology and real-time precise positioning technology.  It has a display function that displays information such as product location, asset ID, arrival and departure time, and inventory status in real time through the wireless communication network, and at the same time, it can collect and transmit location data, enabling various services such as inventory management, inventory status, and product information update in conjunction with SCM. 

 

 

Features 

 

G-Pixel combines the barcode management method used in existing warehouses with ESL Display and UWB positioning technology. 

 

It improves warehouse inefficiencies with differentiated logistics management concepts such as real-time location management and logistics information display by replacing or mixing barcodes. It is possible to eliminate management losses, streamline logistics management and warehouse space management, and even manage the safety of assets such as workers and forklifts in the warehouse.
