Case Background:
Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as SAIC Volkswagen) is a Sino-German joint venture with an investment ratio of 50% from SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, 40% from Volkswagen AG, and 10% from Volkswagen (China) Investment Co., Ltd. Located in Anting International Auto City in the northwest suburbs of Shanghai, SAIC Volkswagen is one of the largest modern car production bases in China, producing dozens of models across six series under five major platforms, including Santana, Santana Vista, Passat New Lingyu, Polo, Touran, and Tiguan.
In the current on-site logistics management at Volkswagen, workers manually scan one-dimensional barcodes on boxes and print shipping documents based on the scanned data. The entire data collection process relies on manual scanning and paper printing, with a non-automated, paper-based system to record and track incoming and outgoing goods. Warehouse management is entirely manual, resulting in extremely low efficiency. Although data has begun to be managed using computer database systems, data collection and statistical processing still rely on first recording on paper and then manually entering it into the computer. This not only wastes a large amount of human resources but also leads to slow data entry and low accuracy due to human factors. Additionally, this traditional logistics method cannot dynamically monitor the parts racks during inbound and outbound processes, cannot track the current transportation status of goods, and cannot obtain timely inbound and outbound data, causing certain delays in cargo information, increasing enterprise management costs, reducing efficiency, hindering daily management, constraining further capacity improvement, and lowering productivity.
As the enterprise continues to expand, the variety and quantity of materials stored in the warehouse are constantly increasing, and the frequency of inbound and outbound operations has risen sharply. Warehouse management operations have become very complex and diverse. Traditional manual warehouse operation modes and data collection methods can no longer meet the requirements for fast and accurate warehouse management, severely affecting the operational efficiency of the enterprise and becoming a major obstacle to its development.
Case Solution:First, install RFID anti-metal tags on the racks. Then use an RFID barcode handheld terminal to scan the VIN code on the outbound order attached to the rack and the data from the RFID anti-metal tag. Bind the two together, and transmit the binding information via WIFI to the WMS backend system, achieving the binding of part information with RFID tag information.
When the rack is transported out of the sorting warehouse, the RFID logistics gate (D2184D) at the warehouse entrance reads the RFID tag information and returns the data to the server to complete the outbound process. At this point, the part information in the box, outbound time, and other relevant details are displayed in the backend. A display screen is installed next to the warehouse door, and the outbound information is displayed synchronously on the screen, allowing staff to see the outbound information intuitively.
When the rack is transported to the assembly workshop, the RFID logistics gate (D2184D) at the workshop entrance reads the RFID tag information and uploads the data to the server to complete the inbound process. At this time, the box part information, inbound time, and quantity are collected and stored in a database in the backend. Display screens are installed on both sides of the warehouse door, and the inbound information is displayed on the screens, allowing staff to see the inbound information intuitively and complete the receiving and inbound process.
Inside the assembly workshop, when the rack is transported to the production line, it is read by the D2184D reader on the line. The data is uploaded to the server to complete the unbinding of the RFID tag from the rack information. After unbinding, the entire box transportation process is completed.
Throughout the entire process, the inbound and outbound times of the boxes are recorded. The dynamic status of box inbound and outbound can be fully tracked based on inbound, outbound, and online times. Moreover, because each warehouse door is equipped with a reader, the transportation path of the rack is recorded, allowing the location of the rack to be viewed and the entire process to be monitored. Through real-time data collection and monitoring, the transportation of racks can be flexibly adjusted according to the demand for parts. At the same time, all inbound and outbound data is displayed on the server. Through the data, the quantity of parts needed in the assembly workshop can be analyzed, improving transportation efficiency.
