Application of DAS in cold chain logistics warehousing system based on WMS

Abstract

To meet the JIT, variety and high frequency requirements of modern cold chain logistics, and application of digital assorting system (DAS) in cold chain logistics warehousing system is studied in this paper. The facilities requirements and its layout are suggested and the key data form is designed to support the DAS system. Wireless weighing system is added to get the weight data opportunely for the unstable weight of commodities in cold chain logistics system. The process of DAS is designed based on WMS and the rush order picking process is provided to achieve an accurate, safe, green and efficient cold chain logistics warehousing system. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
