Bar code technology is the most powerful tool for logistics automatic tracking, and is widely used on a global scale. Because barcode technology with making simple, information gathering speed, high accuracy, large volume, low cost, and bar code equipment advantages such as easy, so in the circulation of the transfer process from production to sales, bar code technology to accurately identify items of information and the important role of the fast-track process, which is the basis of logistics information management as a whole.
, Logistics management data collection
Logistics management requirements for data collection was very high, and involves almost every aspect of logistics.
Due to the diversity of the needs of the market and more batches, less volume of customer orders, the production line could not only produce a specification of product, to full production capacity of the production line to manufacture products of different specifications and configurations. Production line each station of Shang material district put full has raw materials and accessories, production workers using barcode wireless data acquisition Terminal Hou, guarantee has production workers in accordance with production plans, Yu different time paragraph production of different products in all processing Assembly links are has data records, and to this confirmed machine number and the parts number of corresponds relationship, to recourse found products quality problem Shi of suppliers responsibility and data check.
In the warehouse, frequently in and out of the warehouse, respond quickly to make the job a jagged pass, request reasonable storage capacity optimization for public display. Such a large amount of information allows warehouse personnel actions must conform to the flow specification, you must also use handheld devices to achieve accurate, timely and interactive operation.
In the course of transport, bar code technology is also very important. Transport logistics concept cannot be understood as merely in transit products delivered to customers, but as a side-from beginning to end you want in the end the cycle of logistics, each step to the next segment of these substances, information on the transfer of all data records. As material from material library to production line, library tube personnel to scan records material information, and production competent also to scan records; material from production line to station, production competent to scan records, and production workers also to scan records; including Xia production line, and into produced finished library, and to retailers and eventually reached consumers of logistics situation are to scan records, makes enterprise logistics and information flow always consistent flow, reached enterprise online management control resources of purpose.
In the area of data processing, bar code technology and not be used in isolation, it is combined with ERP, MRP ⅱ, SCM, MIS, information systems at the same time to complete the validation, tracking, and control of logistics. Bar code as a data collection tool, there are a large number of data collection points to ensure data accuracy, fast, reduce risks, standardize job. But the data collected without the support of a good software system and use, would not be valid information on the enterprise managers at all levels, much less for production control, sales managers make decisions and market analysis provides powerful data basis. At present, the enterprise application, internationally renowned management software company's products are prepared to interface with bar codes, some software companies also signed a strategic partnership agreement with manufacturer specialized in bar code; most of world's top 500 enterprises with international bar code manufacturers such as Symbol, Zebra has signed global supply agreements.
Second, the need to pay attention to several issues
Some domestic enterprises through business communications, such as study abroad and visiting outstanding domestic enterprises found that outstanding companies home and abroad in the purchase of raw materials, processing lines, distribution center, warehouse management, distribution and retail and other aspects are fully application of bar code technology. Therefore, some companies will simply think that as long as the bar code on the device and related technology, the enterprise management, process optimization, cost reduction, profit increases, this perception is skewed. Enterprise application bar code should pay attention to the following several points:
1. values financial base
Accurate, timely logistics requirements reflect an enterprise control over funds flow. Corporate financial accounting is the most essential means of macro-control, no sense of accounting and accounting processes of the enterprise is not driven by economic enterprises. If the companies do not have a sound financial system, financial and macro-level resource management is unclear, then that microscopic single logistics bar code data collection technology for enterprise, also lost its meaning.
2. focus on management processes
Good management software of enterprise resource optimization, business process reengineering, organizational structure of the transformation and standardization of administrative actions. Cannot be viewed as an isolated system to bar code, and does not believe that the use of bar codes on should do the trick. In every business, in every logistics data collection points in a process, application of barcode data collection technology must be combined with an excellent management software, only management software give full play to role of data management, application of bar code technology to succeed.
3. attention to the IT sector
Application specific IT staff is enterprise information technology implementation, maintenance, monitoring of information technology equipment people, is a bridge between the suppliers of information technology business. No IT staff, businesses cannot effectively absorb, Digest, implementation and application of bar code technology, have a lot of uncertainty in all aspects of bar code technology in logistics.
Three, from a focus on data bar code application
Modern logistics of purpose is improve enterprise benefits, which through operating important resources of time (fast served), and logistics quality (excellent of transport, and no errors transport), and stocking (by need of commodity and number), and information (in library, and broken cargo, and delivery Center information, and served of information), logistics quality of improve, from raw materials of mobilization began to commodity of production and served eventually looked of process, reduced entire process in the of logistics cost, to achieve enterprise of high proceeds.
All aspects of the data generated in the economic activities of the enterprise, barcode is addressing enterprise data accurate, timely and effective collection of transmission problems, is the basis for internal management and external collaboration data source and passes connecting upper and lower part of corporate supply chain data link. There is no basic data flow, enterprise production, sales, management, and control of it is fuzzy, chaos, determine the data basis. Bar code technology is applied in the acquisition of basic data, and record the value of the goods transferred implementation process. Application of bar code technology to capture data accurately, saving of time and labor savings, productivity-enhancing features, using the wide range of mobile wireless communication technology, real-time data transfer, the advantages of network seamless coverage, thus completing the enterprise to control of the logistics process to help companies reduce costs, improve efficiency, increase revenue goals.
