摘要

Homedics' facility in Riverside, Calif., uses automation and conventional materials handling to distribute its home wellness products.rnReceiving: When containers arrive at the distribution center, the contents of the shipment are verified in the warehouse management system (WMS) against an electronic advanced ship notice (ASN). Once associates palletize the cartons, the system creates a license plate bar code label that will be used to track the pallet. As each pallet isrnreceived, the merchandise becomes available for order fullfillment.rnPutaway: While the WMS can do directed putaway, HoMedics allows its lift truck operators to choose storage locations.
