How to optimize your finished goods warehouse?

Hubspot1

Normally, in the production plants or assembly lines, the finished goods/product warehouse is a logistic node that only serves to send to the distribution centers, so specialized engineering is required to guarantee that the different flows from different points, converge reliably and then be transferred to the destination, where it is probably necessary to classify them automatically, according to some criteria.

For this purpose, what the manager of the finished product warehouse needs is to have control of the products that enter it, taking into account the operational variables such as: the batch number, the date of entry of the product, the expiration date thereof and quarantines (if applicable), among others.

 

Thus, the most recommended for the manager of a finished product warehouse or finished product distribution center within production plants, is to have these variables controlled by mechanisms such as software such as WMS or automatic storage systems such as Uniload.  

 

  • WMS. This software knows all the operational variables and what are the restrictions that can be placed on each of the products. Once these are shipped, it is also possible to have the tracking of each one of these. 

 

Thus, this software guarantees the reliability of the operation by allowing inventory and information control, so there is an increase in productivity and competitiveness, as well as interconnection with other systems. 

 

  • Uniload. It is one of the most efficient automatisms to control the product, since its storage is at the pallet / production batch level and it is possible to do it for different variables that are taken at the time of supplying the product. 

 

Thus, the uniload is an automatic warehouse in which 80% of its processes are through pallets. They are instruments with great capacity to automatically store and stock, including real-time inventory management.

 

Thanks to the implementation of software and systems like these, it is possible to have a more global and much more efficient control of the finished product warehouse.
