Before the cloud warehouse, first talk about the current domestic entity cloud warehouse mode, the current domestic mainly has the following three cloud warehouse type: (1) Ali, Jingdong and other electronic business platform built free open cloud warehouse; (3) by the Shun Feng, BES, every day, home delivery and other express delivery enterprises in the warehouse under its own warehouse based on the cloud warehouse. Here I Shunfeng Yancang model as an example to explain: WMS how to effectively support the logistics warehouse warehousing efficiency improvement?
   Shunfeng from 2013 to the apparel industry as the starting point, cut into the B2C third-party storage operations and management of the market, with its original courier resources, multi-channel and various types of electric companies and platforms to cooperate, Shun Feng Yun warehouse era It is from this time officially opened. In fact, cloud warehouse is relying on the traditional third-party logistics and warehousing management and the formation of the Internet with the background of the times, and the Internet cloud storage, both electricity providers or logistics companies, through the warehouse with the integration of routing and efficient service , Cost savings for customers to provide cloud storage service experience and feelings.
   As a logistics center lean management tool WMS (Warehouse Management System), two years ago, no cloud warehouse concept, the system is more than the basic warehouse management is deployed through multi-warehouse or centralized deployment of these methods to achieve. The first is to meet the management of cloud warehouse network technology architecture, including the current SAAS service model, more importantly, centralized data management and distributed visual data display, that is, online data visualization and line collective warehouse operations Step management.

First, the function of cloud storage system
When it comes to cloud warehouse, we first look at the cloud warehouse system needs to have a system function: order processing.
   (A) order processing functions
Order processing function principle is: to receive customer orders → in accordance with the rules set the order sorting and distribution to various warehouses → transport, which requires a front-end routing to achieve order processing functions. The routing rules of the routing design needs to be related to the following factors: ① transfer; ② the priority of the order; ③ order address; ④ courier program; ⑤ service product type; ⑥ when the receipt of the arrival time; ⑦ warehouse production orders required Time and so on.
   (B) to find positions principle

   1, the principle of finding positions
   In terms of cloud warehouses, the first principle based on the warehouse is: the principle of the order to find positions. The lookup principle takes into account the address of the warehouse, which matches the order based on the address of the warehouse. In the process of finding warehousing will take into account the time and cost and other factors, based on aging and cost of these two factors we will take into account the security stock, express distance, orders involving demolition of single and many other factors.
   2, involving the role
When the order into the warehouse, the warehouse is what kind of operating rules so that we can quickly order will be sent to customers in the hands of it? What are the roles of Warehouse Management in Cloud Warehouse?
The first role is: the most front-end customer service orders. Order customer service according to the order routing rules for the distribution of customer orders production warehouse, audit, issued, etc., the work can be done automatically by the system.
   The second role is Order Manager. Warehouse can also be the role of most of the work done automatically by the WMS system, auto-complete part contains: order allocation of inventory, combination of tasks or combination of wave, document printing, including the face sheet, invoices, shopping list. When the order arrives at the warehouse, the order manager will carry out warehouse allocation, job wave combination, task combination, and some also deal with document processing, including document advance printing, post-print and so on.
The third role is the warehouse job role. Including picking staff, sowing and sorting personnel, packing personnel, and delivery personnel delivery personnel, the role of the scope of work and content we are all very clear, I will not repeat them here. So why mention such a role? We know that the goal is to do cloud warehouse to improve efficiency, then all aspects of the warehouse in the cloud can not improve production efficiency will affect the overall efficiency of the warehouse.
   Then WMS is how to support multi-warehouse at the same time operations, the layout of the case to improve production efficiency? Here are a few simple examples to illustrate.
   The first example is how to generate the job wave? The purpose of the wave is to optimize the order for maximum efficiency and to generate job tasks. There are a lot of conditions and optimization rules and logic to consider when generating the wave. Most of the WMS systems that we know are either manually ticked, or combined with simple rules. In the cloud bin management mode, you can also satisfy different manual and automatic generation times, You must first understand the logic of the wave.
   In the warehouse usually we will be based on different carriers, operating area, the type of order form simple rules, and the fastest speed to pick up to the most orders, that is, orders arrived in the warehouse after the shortest possible time to complete the production of the number of orders Rules are the core of wave rules.
   3, order optimization
   We talked about efficiency when it comes to a concept is the warehouse picking operations path, such as often said that the W-type, S-type and other different picking job path optimization, but in fact did not do the order optimization Analysis No matter how you go to optimize the picking path, you have no way to avoid its walking. One of the most important features of order optimization is: in the warehouse within the minimum range, such as 2-3 locations or a channel, a region, a combination of multiple orders and complete picking. In addition to the internal optimization of warehouse orders, we also consider the basic conditions of orders such as bulk orders, small orders, size of the combination of orders as wave analysis and optimization conditions.

   Second, the warehouse internal picking operation mode
Fuller WMS system in 2015 pairs of eleven for a multi-owner multi-warehouse business customers to configure more than 180 kinds of wave rules, which more than 180 kinds of wave rules is not limited to the number of rows, but based on different Order conditions, requirements and warehouse picking requirements within the constant configuration of the need for concurrent or non-concurrent wave rules to carry out simultaneous operations. After the completion of the wave is within the warehouse picking, warehouse picking is based on the previous generation of waves.
   (A) the total picking mode
   For picking inside the warehouse I would like to tell you a few concepts, the first is the total pick. The total picking mode: the deployment of the cloud for the electricity industry, warehouse, many warehouses will be a product concentrated in a warehouse in the case of large quantities of single product orders that an order only one commodity, this single product orders It is necessary to use the total pick a way in the end. In addition there is another order is an order on the need to show two or three kinds of goods and has a coincidence rate, this order is also the total picking or sowing methods for picking operations.
1, the total picking classification
   (1) order to find the goods
One sort of pick is to focus on single-product orders picked up, that is, the traditional order to find goods model.
   (2) to match the product orders
The fundamental logic of single-product orders is to match the order of the product, and then print directly to the surface, this kind of work efficiency will be higher than the traditional.
   (B) edge-picking sub-model
Warehouse mode in the warehouse for large quantities of shippers, SKU case, the goods shelves are usually shelves, we will use side edge picking sub-mode. Edge sorting is the time to do the wave has been in the smallest range of orders need to combine these goods need to use a container, the container is divided into many operating units, can be a basket or lattice, and then we push this Tools to a location or multiple locations to complete multi-product order picking. Edge sorting mode in 2010 when the beginning of the application in a number of electronic business customers, we do in Shenzhen, a 3C electronic products business customers there, when an employee in the 8-hour operation time can be achieved picking 1200-1300 Single multi-product orders of efficiency.
   (3) seeding mode (different from the traditional planting mode)
In the case of multi-warehouse layout, the order structure with the type of business customers to become diversified, in addition to the structure of the order is complicated, the warehouse pattern is more complex, in addition to multi-warehouse, multi-storey warehouse also More appear in the electricity business customers. Order structure of the different manifestations: the early electric business orders it can be cosmetic, clothing, etc., and now electricity is no longer a single commodity, large appliances, fresh video and other categories, and fresh, but also including frozen, frozen and other categories .
   This year's 11:00 when our customers as the music TV received a single 120-inch large TV orders, this single large TV can only use the building elevator to the customer distribution to the room. Based on these differences will lead to our order warehouse warehouse operations require a variety of modes.
   The traditional sowing mode is based on the order of goods coincidence rate of the total pick, and then according to the order of the distribution. And now the power of the sowing mode in the traditional sowing on the basis of the need to consider the warehouse layout, order structure and other factors, and then different types of products to do after the partition of the different operations summary, the time to consider the summary of three factors: The coincidence rate, the operating efficiency of each partition floor, how to effectively different goods of the same order for effective combination.
   The purpose of the deployment of cloud warehouse is to save costs, in the shortest possible time to complete the most effective customer order picking tasks. But in the deployment cloud warehouse, many customers are reluctant to split their orders to operate, which requires us to innovate, the first partition after the operation of the merger orders, and then to the customer distribution, which is the demand for electricity business model of planting Performance.
   (D) the second sorting
Before a lot of bulk goods and retail warehouses are the order according to the order of goods coincidence rate of summary, and then from the warehouse replenishment, the goods to the picking position and transit area, and then according to the order to the transit area for picking, which Is the traditional secondary sorting. For electricity providers, such as cross-border electricity providers now, most of the goods are maternal and infant formula, health products, cosmetics, etc., obvious structural characteristics of goods, goods coincidence rate is relatively high, rather than a simple order.
   Based on this order structure, we have created a new secondary sorting mode, with the maximum efficiency to reduce the intermediate steps as the starting point to design the second sorting, the same combination of wave, the product coincidence rate and a single product SKU volume and Not a lot of orders after the confluence of direct picking to the review stage, in front of me mentioned single-order orders to SKU order matching order in the review of scanning orders and then directly check the order picking mode, this model in the electricity provider Yuncang where the application of more.
