in the field of supply chain logistics, bar code technology is like a link, which connects the information at all stages of product life cycle and can track the whole process of product from production to sales. The specific applications are as follows:
1. Warehouse goods management
The application of barcode technology and inventory management avoids the steps of writing bills by hand and sending them to the computer room for input, which greatly improves the work efficiency. At the same time, the problem of outdated warehouse information is solved, and the accuracy of delivery date is improved. In addition, it solves the problem of inaccurate bill information, improves customer service quality, eliminates manual operation in transaction processing and reduces invalid labor.
2. Production line personnel management
At the start of each shift, each member of the working group should scan the bar code on their employee card with a bar code data collector, record the attendance data and team members in the data collector, and then input them into the computer system. Team members can get corresponding remuneration or punishment according to the product production data and quality data of the day.
3. Production management of assembly line
In the period when bar codes are not used, before each product goes on the production line, the working procedures and parts needed to generate this product must be manually recorded, and the picking staff can only start production after allocating the numbered materials according to the records. There is a record form for each product in each production line. After each process is completed, fill in the component number and your own work number. The manual recording process is heavy and complicated, and it can't reflect the flow of products on the production line in time. After the bar code technology is adopted, the order number, part type and product number can be bar coded, and labels can be printed and pasted on the product parts and assembly production lines in time. When the product is off the production line, the product bar code and the bar code number of the production line are scanned in by the quality inspector of the production line after passing the inspection, and the bar code of the workers is scanned in the working procedure order. For the unqualified products, the cause of the failure is determined by the maintenance, and the whole process does not need to be recorded manually.
4. Warehouse management
Before the bar code appeared, there were many problems in the workflow of warehouse management, such as the cumbersome process of information such as materials entering and leaving the warehouse and the storage location of articles, and the lag of information transmission, which led to the increase of inventory, the unpredictable delivery date and inaccurate decision-making basis, which reduced the reliability of the system. In order to avoid mistakes, some enterprises increase the number of inspectors, which reduces labor productivity and affects the speed of instruction processing.
If the computer network system has been installed in the factory, just add some bar code data acquisition equipment before data input, the above-mentioned series of problems can be solved.
5. Purchase management
You need to check the product variety and quantity when purchasing. This part of the work is completed by the data collector. First, download all the purchase documents and product information to the data collector. The data collector will prompt the material manager to enter the number of the purchase order, and the application system of the collector will judge whether this barcode is correct. If it is not correct, the system will immediately warn the material manager; If it is correct, the material manager scans the item number on the purchased material list again, and the system then checks whether the items on the purchase list are in line with the actual situation.
next, the material manager scans the barcode of the material specification information and identification number. Each material has a unique identification.
6. warehousing management
the porter (or forklift driver) only needs to scan the labels on the materials boxes to be warehousing, the labels on the materials boxes to be warehousing and the labels on the materials boxes to be warehousing. Warehousing can be divided into indirect and direct: direct warehousing refers to the address of the recorder scanned by bar code after the materials are stacked in any vacancy; Direct warehousing refers to storing a certain kind of goods in a specified shelf and establishing a record for its storage location.
7. Inventory goods management
For the damaged standard, refer to similar goods or make labels on the computer according to their location, and make subsidies. When the goods are moved, the recognizer is used to read and automatically collect data, and the collected data is automatically transmitted to the computer goods management system for data management. According to the specified standards, the classified goods or scattered goods in the warehouse are regularly inventoried by bar code readers. In the process of goods distribution, there are two ways to collect goods with certain names: one is repackaging, and the system generates a new QR code label to be treated as a box; The other is that the system sets up a scattered goods warehouse to store scattered goods information, record the name, quantity, location and other information of goods, and manage them in a unified way.
8. Control and tracking of cargo information
Automatic inventory warning: automatic early warning is given to the inventory of various goods that are above or below the limit. Combined with the recent average consumption of various goods, the name and quantity of goods that need to be purchased in a certain period of time are automatically generated. Managers can purchase or cancel orders in a timely manner to effectively control the inventory. Space monitoring: Monitor the actual location, storage time, space margin and other parameters of the goods, and automatically give an alarm for unreasonable location, excessively long storage time and insufficient space margin. Cargo information tracking: tracking the whole supply chain. For example, by tracking series, batch number and inventory, we can master accurate available information; Track the delivery and warehousing of goods, and master the relevant information of distribution units and production units. Loss reporting processing: the goods to be reported for loss will be tracked automatically. Managers can register the goods for loss reporting and fill in the loss reporting application form. If the loss reporting application is approved, the system will report the loss of the goods and establish the loss reporting details.
9. Outbound management
The barcode reader is used to read the barcode label on the outbound goods package, and the goods information is sent to the computer, and the computer automatically generates outbound details according to the number, name, specification and quantity of the goods. If the label is found to be damaged or lost, it will be subsidized manually according to the above procedures. After the outbound goods are checked and confirmed to be correct, the outbound goods will be recorded and the inventory details will be updated.
1. System management
System management is to ensure the normal and safe operation of the warehouse goods management system. Its main functions are: user management: define different roles and permissions for each user and manage user passwords. Authority management: define the authority of the system according to the user's situation. Log management: record various important operations such as login and logout of system users. Prevent illegal users from using it. Data management: regularly back up data, formulate backup strategies and implement data recovery.
iii. basic configuration of the system
basic configuration of the system: the basic configuration of the system management software, barcode printer, data collector, barcode scanner and wireless network
can be adjusted according to the actual operation of the enterprise. For example, the number of barcode printers is selected according to the barcode consumption and usage frequency of the enterprise itself, and the data collector needs to determine the purchase quantity according to the data collection points required by the enterprise workflow.
