Digital Supply Chain
Digital supply chain is the design philosophy and business practice designed to improve the visual management and colaboralion of companies" suply chain ecosphere. thelps to build companies' downstream and upstream ecosystem,estabish a closed management loop, improve the eficiency of colaboralion,integrate infomaion, materialsmanufacturing, logistics and funds together, thus improves the overall management efficiency of the supply chain.
Building a responsive supply chainMeeting the ever-raising customer expectation
. lmprove the information exchange and monitoring at various links such as companies'upstream and downstream as well as internal purchase, manufacturing, sales and so on to achieve full monitoring of supplies and clients as well as reasonable allocation of funds.
. Help decision-makers find and tackle problems in an intuitive way based on efficient statistics and analysis of thesupply chain information, create a virtuous manufacturing and marketing cycle, thereby improve companjes’ market value.
* Digital supply chain comes with powerful system features across the board, each functional module may beused separately and suit the demands of corporate users at different leyel
Application of barcode technology in the supply chain
Cargo warehousing management: Barcode labels are used for quick acceptance and information entry when goods are warehousing to ensure the accuracy of inventory records
Warehouse location management: Barcode labels are affixed to shelves and storage locations in the warehouse. These labels are scanned by handheld terminal devices to quickly locate the location of goods and improve picking efficiency
Order picking and packaging: The system generates a picking list containing the barcode information of all goods to be shipped. The pickers scan and complete the picking according to the instructions to ensure the correctness of the shipment
Transportation tracking: Barcodes are used to track the flow of goods throughout the supply chain. Customers can query the specific location of the package through the online platform
Return processing: Scan the barcode to verify the information of the returned goods and efficiently handle the returned goods
Application of RFID technology in the supply chain
RFID technology identifies specific targets and reads and writes related data through radio signals. It has the characteristics of non-contact identification, batch reading, anti-pollution, high temperature resistance, and cold resistance. Its applications in the supply chain include:
Real-time inventory management: RFID tags have built-in chips and antennas to automatically identify and record information about goods entering and leaving the warehouse, reducing the time and labor costs of manual inventory and improving storage and access efficiency
Automatic tracking and positioning: By installing RFID readers at the entrance and exit of the warehouse, the location of goods and electric forklifts can be tracked in real time to ensure the accuracy of transportation information
Intelligent inventory and search: RFID technology can greatly improve the efficiency of inventory and search for goods. Traditional barcode management requires manual scanning one by one, while RFID can achieve batch reading, which is faster and more accurate
Fast in and out of the warehouse: In the inbound link, the fixed reader automatically matches the order information; in the outbound link, the channel reader scans the goods in batches and automatically checks with the order information to reduce the situation of "wrong delivery" and "missed delivery"
Logistics sorting: In the logistics sorting scenario, the RFID reader at the end of the conveyor belt automatically matches the order and guides the sorting robot to put the goods into the corresponding container to improve the sorting efficiency
