Modern logistics warehousing refers to the economic globalization and supply chain integration in the context of warehousing activities, which has transcended the traditional sense of the "warehouse" or "warehouse management" concept, becoming an important part of the modern logistics system.
In modern logistics, warehousing has several core connotations. First of all, warehousing is a logistics activity, and its essential attribute is to serve the production and transaction. This means that warehousing is not only an isolated link, but should be integrated into the whole logistics system, and other logistics activities are interconnected and cooperate with each other. Secondly, the purpose of warehousing is to meet the needs of the upstream and downstream of the supply chain, including the needs of direct and indirect customers, and to ensure the smooth flow of goods in the supply chain.
With the help of informationization and automation, modern logistics warehouse management realizes automated transportation, classification, storage, retrieval and other behaviors of items, which improves work efficiency and precision and reduces labor costs. At the same time, through refined management, intelligent distribution, centralized collection and delivery, rapid bundling, customized services and other forms can be achieved to provide more detailed warehousing services. In addition, warehousing management further improves the intelligent level of warehousing management with the help of artificial intelligence, big data and other technologies for inventory prediction and analysis, process optimization and equipment automation control.
