In the scenario of dark store (Dark Store) or online order warehouse picking, the function of XTIOT barcode scanning device scanning code and transmitting scanning time and date can play the following important roles:

1. Real-time Inventory Tracking

When employees use barcode scanning devices to scan product barcodes, the system can record the time and date when the product is picked in real time.

This helps the warehouse management system to update the inventory status in real time and ensure the accuracy of inventory information.

2. Improve Picking Efficiency

Employees can quickly locate the location of the product by scanning the barcode and reduce the time to find the product.

Timestamps can help optimize picking path planning, such as giving priority to orders that are about to time out.

3. Order Tracking

The time from the start of picking to the completion of picking can be recorded for each order.

Customers can check the order status through the order tracking function to improve customer satisfaction.

4. Quality Control

Timestamps can be used as part of quality control to ensure that the goods are picked and packed within the specified time.

If abnormal delays are found for certain products or orders, the problem can be quickly located.

5. Optimize Inventory Turnover

Analyzing the speed and efficiency of picking in different time periods can help optimize inventory layout and replenishment strategies.

For example, identify products with high demand during peak periods and ensure that these products are easier to pick quickly.

6. Efficiency Analysis

By collecting timestamp data, you can evaluate the efficiency of employees and the efficiency of the picking process.

Thus, you can identify bottlenecks and take measures to improve the picking process and improve overall efficiency.

7. Data Analysis and Decision Support

The collected time and date information can be used for data analysis to help companies make better business decisions.

For example, predict sales trends, optimize inventory management and supply chain planning.

8. Returns and Traceability

If a customer returns a product, you can use timestamp information to trace the picking, delivery and other historical records of the product to help handle the return process.

9. Abnormal Situation Handling

In the event of an order error or missing, timestamp information can help find out the cause, such as whether it is due to a delay in picking.
