Smart Warehouse Management System
An IoT-powered warehouse management platform that combines RFID tracking, computer vision, and AI-optimized picking for maximum efficiency.
The Challenge
A 3PL provider struggled with warehouse operations:
- Inventory inaccuracy - Constant discrepancies between system and floor
- Slow picking - Operators walking inefficient routes
- Lost items - Products misplaced in wrong locations
- Manual counts - Weekend cycle counts disrupting operations
They needed real-time visibility into every item.
Our Approach
We built a sensor-rich warehouse system that tracks every movement automatically.
Technology Strategy
- RFID Everywhere - Tags on items, readers at chokepoints
- Computer Vision - Cameras verify placements
- Real-Time Location - Know where everything is now
- AI Optimization - Intelligent route planning
The Solution
Inventory Tracking
- RFID portal readers
- Mobile scanning apps
- Zone-level tracking
- Automatic cycle counting
Pick Optimization
- Wave planning algorithms
- Optimal route generation
- Voice-directed picking

Receiving & Putaway
- Automated receiving verification
- Intelligent putaway suggestions
- Cross-dock identification
- Quality check workflows
Shipping & Loading
- Order verification at dock door
- Truck load optimization
- Carrier integration
- Proof of shipment
