Proposed Architecture- Features

• Easy to track the flow of inventory
• Gives real time Stock details online
• Can be integrated to any kind of database which
  is already existing
• Mandates proper stock management in stores

• Pilfering can be avoided
• Easy to audit in real time
• Easy to identify and Track the movement of stock
  between various internal departments.

Value Addition and Conclusions

• Adoption of Biometric Finger prints for Accessing
  the Application software
• Alerts should be acknowledged by authorized
  personnel only
• Stock can be moved from one location to other
  using authorized finger prints only

Warehouse Management Equipment
The role of equipment in warehouse operations

• Reduce cost (labor space)
• enhance space utilization by, e.g.,
• enabling the exploitation of the vertical
  dimension of the facility
• allowing for denser packing
• allow for more efficient order-picking by, e.g.,
• increasing the density
• supporting the automated transfer of material
  from storage to sorting and Dispatch area
• Enhance responsiveness
• increase the throughput of the facility, e.g.,
• increasing the SKU(Stock keeping Unit) density
• establishing a more ergonomic environment/arrangem
  ent for the warehouse operators
• facilitating the parallelization of order picking
• by parallelizing the tasks of order-picking and
  replenishment

Various Warehouse Equipment

• Storage Racks
• Pallets (1200X1000 mm type)

Fork Lifting Equipment

Proposed CIVIL and Warehousing architecture at
Scientific warehouse of Hyderabad and Mahbubnagar
gt Four Layouts of the Warehouse are proposed
following the International Warehouse Design
standards gt The Preferences were assigned to
each of the layout considering the maximum
space utilization as priority.
