What are the main differences between the electricity supplier warehouse and the traditional warehouse?
Average order lines are few. Traditional retail logistics has dozens, even more, hundreds of orders line, these goods may be distributed in all corners of the warehouse, according to order picking, warehouse go round to complete order picking. But only a few of the electricity supplier logistics orders, in most cases such as Jingdong, such as dangdang is no more than 10, a few such as shop No. 1 will be between 10 to 20, if still use the traditional retail logistics commonly used to order not picking, picking up for each trip only a few parts need to go a large number of road in the warehouse. A large number of actual combat statistics show that as much as 70% of the time spent in the picking process is on walking. Therefore, it is necessary to design a picking order, and can complete multiple orders at the same time, to improve the efficiency of picking, such as first picking, picking, planting, or picking the same model.
Storage period. The order quantity, order goods less, goods goods under the quantity is less, most of them are single order picking, these features will lead to picking a completely different way, and in order to improve the picking efficiency, also need specific proprietary equipment.
Single SKU inventory is low. Compared with the traditional retail stores, e-commerce sales platform without traditional space limit, so in order to attract and meet the needs of more customers, sales of electricity supplier SKU to more comprehensive, such as Amazon and dangdang etc. there are hundreds of thousands, millions of SKU. But because the storage space can not be unlimited expansion, how to put more SKU in the limited storage space, you need each SKU less than the amount of goods. As a result, the storage units in the electricity supplier warehousing logistics are dominated by boxes instead of traditional pallets. From the choice of storage equipment, the main choice of box shelves, such as shelf shelves or medium-sized shelves, rather than pallet shelves. In the aspect of operation strategy, most storage and picking are one, and a small amount of SKU distribute storage and picking space, and there is a replenishment operation from storage to picking.
