Development of an Integrated Warehouse Data Aggregation and Automation Management System

The client faces difficulties in managing warehouse processes due to disparate machinery and stations, resulting in inefficient data access, suboptimal process visibility, and manual request handling, which hamper operational efficiency and real-time decision-making.

A mid to large-sized manufacturing company specializing in furniture production that requires streamlined warehouse operations and automation integration.

• Implement a centralized application for real-time data collection from all warehouse stations and devices.
• Create visual representations of warehouse layout with integrated conveyor and machinery status mapping.
• Enable users to submit operation requests and track tasks in real time for improved process coordination.
• Facilitate report generation and data analysis for machine utilization and material distribution to optimize internal workflows.
• Ensure the system is modular, scalable, and ready for deployment across multiple facilities.

• Aggregated data dashboard showing machine status (running, idle, out of service) and material quantities at each station.
• Warehouse layout visualization with interactive placement of conveyors and equipment reflecting actual operational state.
• Request submission panel for moving products/materials, including task definition and status tracking.
• Real-time tracking of processing tasks and subtasks with progress updates.
• Reporting module enabling customized reports on machine usage and material flow for process optimization.

• Industrial machinery and station data sources via APIs or IoT protocols
• Warehouse management systems (WMS) for inventory data
• Real-time messaging queues for event-driven updates

• System should support concurrent access from multiple users with minimal latency
• High system availability with 99.9% uptime
• Secure data transmission and access control mechanisms
• Scalable architecture to accommodate future growth across multiple warehouses

The implementation of this integrated warehouse management and automation system is projected to enhance operational visibility, reduce manual efforts, and optimize resource utilization. It aims to improve process efficiency, facilitate data-driven decision-making, and support expansion to multiple locations, ultimately leading to increased productivity and cost savings.
