The intelligent management of reverse logistics is a fundamental aspect to turn it into a key service and competitiveness weapon that substantially reduces the operating costs of the Distribution Center.
In this blog we will talk about 3 technologies that are essential to execute agile and precise reverse logistics operations.
Reverse logistics: The technologies you cannot miss
A) WMS & WCS
The implementation of software that provides visibility and control in real time is undoubtedly no longer an option for the management of CEDIS.
For an automated reverse logistics operation, it is necessary to have specialized software for CEDIS administrative control, such as the WMS (Warehouse Management System) and specialized software for automation management, such as the WCS (Warehouse Control System).
Both software will provide greater agility and flexibility to the operation.
B) Sortation systems
Sortation systems are also an essential tool to achieve speedy reverse logistics, as they automatically classify products for re-storage or reconditioning.
C) Put to Wall
Put to Wall technology comprises a light-guided system, where by means of illuminated displays the precise stand in which the product must be placed back is indicated.
These technologies make it possible to form an integral system in which it is possible to receive the products, register them in the system, carry out the corresponding quality inspection to corroborate the reason for the return, and later, classify them for re-storage or reconditioning; maintaining a maximum degree of visibility in each process.
