More and more logisticians are turning to warehouse automation, but which system will suit you best? Let’s start by looking at how you manage your warehouse inventory, and then learn about inventory robot.
Inventory is essential for good warehouse management. It allows to check, identify and evaluate stocks, but also to detect errors or logistic problems such as labeling errors, quantity discrepancies or picking errors.
Imposed by the French commercial code, the inventory must be carried out at least once a year to close the accounting period. There are three types of inventory to be done depending on your needs or your warehouse.
Stock inventory at the end of each accounting period, usually in December
Periodic inventory (several times a year)
Carried out continuously, each time goods are received or dispatched.
There are different types of warehouses depending on the customer’s needs, the goods to be stored or the regulations (outdoor). The largest storage volumes worldwide, which cross from country to country via multimodal platforms, are stored mainly in:
| Production | Storage of raw materials, finished products, packaging material Pallet/ bulk stock |
| Distribution | Intermediate/temporary storage between storage and delivery point |
| Storage/Warehouse | Storage of unsold or end-of-life productse. Pallet |
| Partially open | Rain-sheltered storage with a roof and at least one opened side Rack/Pallet/Bulk |
| Fully open | Open space for storing heavy and large goods. |
| Customs warehouse | Special system for goods before departure for international trade Rack/Pallet/Bulk |
