Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management Systems
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Gartner defines a warehouse management system (WMS) as "a software application that helps manage the operations of a warehouse or distribution center (DC)." WMS applications offer capabilities such as receiving, putaway, stock locating, inventory management, cycle counting, task interleaving, wave planning, order allocation, order picking, replenishment, packing, shipping, labor management and automated materialshandling equipment interfaces. These systems incorporate radio frequency (RF) handheld devices in conjunction with bar codes and possibly RFID to form the foundation of a WMS. This enables efficiencies of directed work activity and the delivery of accurate information in near real time. Gartner includes integrated functionality — such as voice picking, parcel manifesting, valueadded services, light manufacturing/kitting and thirdparty logistics (3PL) billing — as components of a WMS evaluation. This is because many buyers now demand that these components be included in a large number of WMS engagements.
