WMSWarehouse Management System
Manage materials, storage locations, receiving, inventory and shipping through barcode-based operations, reporting and warehouse visualisation.
Back to family catalogue←Warehouse operations from receiving to shipping
Manage receiving, label generation and scanning, put-away, stocktaking, stock transfers and barcode-based shipping. Raw-material and finished-goods warehouses, containers, user roles and put-away/picking rules are managed separately, with shipping verification and wrong-item alerts.
Labels, approvals and shipping verification
01Arrival and receipt
Generate, print and attach labels on arrival; scan goods, count receipts and store them in assigned locations.
02Inventory management
Count and relocate stock and monitor inventory alerts. Archive part photos and production drawings with materials, then retrieve them by mobile scanning to support picking and spot checks.
03Dispatch preparation
Shipping plans proceed through request, approval and optimisation. The system then generates packing and delivery documents before barcode-based picking and goods issue.
04Scanning and checks
Shipping verification works with first-in, first-out controls and raises alerts for incorrect goods issue. Last-in, first-out is available only under separate authorisation and is distinct from the standard shipping rule.

Warehouse views and data dashboards
- Empty
- Full
- Abnormal
Colour blocks illustrate location states only, not actual warehouse scale, live stock or system capacity.
Warehouse heatmap
Use green for empty, blue for full and yellow for abnormal, alongside rack-storage status to show occupancy.
Zones and locations
Zone information, layouts, location details and lists of stock in normal status, together with inventory information and material history.
Inventory and orders
Remaining stock and turnover; order counts, item counts and turnover efficiency; trace order details by ID, goods and operations; classify exceptions and review progress and root causes.
Trends and alerts
Receipt and dispatch trends by orders and items; stock-quantity and material-usage rankings; alerts when inventory falls below or exceeds a threshold, with replenishment or stock-reduction suggestions.
Dashboard configuration
Warehouse totals and per-warehouse statistics, receiving and shipping trends and detail status; configurable dashboards, BI settings and QR-code dashboard output.
Warehouse operations and connected systems
The architecture links ERP purchase and sales orders, MES production plans, material requirements and production results, and TMS transport instructions and status. WMS operations connect to shop-floor equipment through WCS and RCS.
Business information

On-site execution
Information exchanged across system layers
ERP
Purchase orders and sales orders.
MES
Production plans, material requirements and actual production results.
TMS
Transport instructions and shipment-status tracking.
WCS / RCS
WCS converts work instructions into equipment commands, while RCS schedules and controls robots. Together they control shop-floor execution; WMS manages inventory and warehouse operations.
