With the development of China’s society and economy, Chinese enterprises are constantly digging into the value of logistics warehousing. Based on a calculation by one of China’s authoritative institutions, for each 1 percentage point lowered in the proportion of China’s logistics cost to its GDP, it can save energy consumption worthy of more than 100 billion Yuan in the aspect of cargo transportation and warehousing, which in turn will increase the social benefits by around 130 billion Yuan. Moreover, due to the rapid economic development and the increment of population, the availability of land is getting more and more tight; in certain areas of southern China, land is metaphorically “as expensive as gold”; all these factors are forcing people to seek for available spaces up in the air. Stereoscopic warehouse is the trend for the warehousing industry in China.

Meanwhile, in current era of mobile internet, digital technology is gradually turning around to the manufacturing industry, enhancing the intelligence and efficiency of the manufacturing industry. All kinds of automation equipment, such as stackers, AGVs, conveyor lines, sorting robots and so on, are introduced to the warehouse management, aiming to improve the efficiency of warehouse operation, save management costs and increase revenue.

The introduction of automation equipment is gradually promoting the technical upgrading of the upper-level software management system.

As one of the ideal practicing party of intelligent manufacturing, based on many years of production experience in the manufacturing industry, Haosen is aiming to solve the warehousing and logistics problems that most enterprises are facing, such as low space utilization rate, waste of space, loss of goods and equipment, frequent discrepancies between ledger and materials, low efficiency of manual work and untraceable sources of defects, etc. Haosen performs integrated management on the loading/unloading, storing, packaging and transportation in the process of enterprise logistics, and has developed an intelligent logistics warehousing management system-HSWMS.

As a product polished by Haosen over the years, HSWMS has the following functional highlights:

1.Order pre-processing

Shorten the preparation time for the decomposition of order tasks and the supply of goods; improve the efficiency of order processing.

2.Multiple Pull Management

Fully mobilize logistics resources, save inventory space and improve order execution efficiency.

3.Visual Management

Provide visual guidance for the personnel operations, improve accuracy and save cost.

4.High Extensibility

Integrate AGVs and other automation equipment, as well as shelves, trolleys and other devices into the monitoring.

5.Full-scene Application

Cover the whole logistics process such as ex-warehouse, in-warehouse, sorting, distribution and so on.

6.Multi-interface Integration

Dock the mainstream ERP, MES systems, etc; focus on the main business logic; efficiently carry out logistics tasks and distribution.

Currently, HSWMS has been successfully applied to many typical customer sites featuring high volume warehouse reserves, such as BYD, AVIC, Weichai and so on, and is helping with achieving:

1. Strict first-in-first-out management;

2. Prompt inventory turnover rate and reduce funds occupied by inventories.

3. Accurate warehouse data, greatly improves the coincidence ratio between the ledger and the physical inventory.

4. Improve the utilization rate of warehouse and save the expenses of site use.

5. Improve the efficiency of warehouse operators and greatly shorten the inventory counting time

6. Standardized operation, reducing various consumptions during the operation.

7. Reduce reliance on highly skilled workers;

8. Improve the operation efficiency of the logistics center;

9. By way of seamless docking of each platform, the goods are quickly delivered to the terminals.

Take a stand where we now are and looking forward to the future, with the recognition of the intelligent manufacturing concept by major manufacturing enterprises, HSWMS will integrate the TMS system (Logistics & Transportation Management System) and expand the intelligent logistics distribution range to beyond the factory premises on the basis of the existing mature technology and combining with various advanced technologies; while at the same time utilize VR and Digital Twins technology to achieve 3D visualization to restore the production site at a scale of 1:1.

By way of digital acquisition of the whole process of warehousing and logistics, HSWMS will realize omni-directional data fusion and analysis, as well as networked collaborative manufacturing, and help enterprises achieve omni-directional intelligent production in the real sense.
