QR Code Implementation Plan for Unmanned Warehouse
Original article: https://cli.im/article/detail/1917
We implemented a QR code-based unmanned warehouse management system using CaoLiao QR codes to replace paper-based records for tracking large volumes of incoming and outgoing items. The core concept is "one-item-one-code" management, where each item category has dedicated QR codes to record access information, with centralized data aggregation. Below is our implementation process:
Preparation:
- Complete full inventory check with physical verification
- Prepare digital inventory ledger containing item name, specifications, and stock quantity
- Implement 5S management standards
- Equip warehouse with:
- Color printer
- Internet-connected computer
- Workstation
- A4 adhesive label paper
- Set up two transfer shelves using existing racks
- Ensure 200% camera coverage without blind spots
- Install access control system
Implementation Steps:
1. Establish QR Code System
Implement "one-item-one-code" management with corresponding QR code information:
2. Categorize QR Codes for Data Tracking
Inbound Management:
- Set up transfer area with 200% camera coverage
- Delivery personnel:
- Place small items on transfer shelves
- Position large items on wooden pallets
- Scan QR code to complete delivery form
- Upload delivery documents
- Complete delivery form with required information:
- Submission confirmation interface:
- Managers receive real-time WeChat notifications for:
- Quality inspection
- Inventory replenishment
- QR code creation for new items (3-minute process)
Material Issuance Management:
- Monthly inventory report sharing with department heads
- Requisitioners:
- Obtain approval signatures (physical/WeChat)
- Use computer terminal to locate items
- Scanning process:
- Verify item specifications
- Complete requisition form
- Upload approval documentation
- Real-time WeChat notifications to managers upon issuance
Backend Management & Data Analysis
- Implement SUGAR data visualization dashboard for:
- Real-time inventory tracking
- Delivery/issuance summaries
- Historical data review
- Automated inventory reporting eliminates manual checks
- Data-driven monthly procurement planning
- QR code scan frequency analysis identifies:
- Long-term stockpiles
- Inventory optimization opportunities
- Cross-company resource sharing potential
