The Research of Warehouse Automation System Based on ZigBee & RFID

Abstract:

This document explains the redesigned Warehouse Automation System based on ZigBee & RFID according to the research of present situation of warehouse workflow and management system. Based on the new design, we have succeeded to locate and manage the goods area using the ZigBee, propose a solution that using forklift as a carrier to realize "Offline Goods-Placement Management", so as to improve the accuracy and flexibility of goods management. This study resolves the following research problems: (1) Redesign the overall system workflow. (2) Describe the automation system functions and advantage. This Warehouse Automation System can effectively make up for many shortcomings of the previous warehouse management system and improve the efficiency of warehouse management.
