The modern warehouse industry is undergoing dynamic changes driven by technological advancements and innovations in artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). In these dynamic times, to maintain competitiveness, warehouse companies must adopt new technologies that allow them to better adapt to changing market needs and effectively manage their resources. One of the key steps in this transformation is the utilization of advanced Ultra-Wideband (UWB) sensors.

Optimizing warehouse processes is undoubtedly the key to cost savings and improved efficiency that logistics experts work towards. One of the crucial processes is “picking,” which allows for increased efficiency and quality of picked goods.

Efficient management of logistic operations is a crucial element of any successful company. Every day, logistics directors and managers strive to find ways to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of their processes. One solution that can bring significant benefits is the implementation of a Warehouse Management System (WMS) like Pinquark.

Efficient warehouse operations management is crucial for achieving success in today’s competitive business environment.

Warehouse real estate is one of the market segments that is experiencing an unflagging period of development - it gained before, during and after the pandemic. According to the forecasts of market specialists, the demand for modern warehouses will remain at a very high level in the coming years.

Thanks to the use of the latest technologies, the integration of WMS PINQUARK with other cooperating systems is smooth, fast and trouble-free at the technical level.

Modern technologies based on artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are changing the modern warehouse industry. In order to stay ahead of the competition, warehouse companies must implement technologies that will allow them to adapt to market changes and respond to customer expectations. One such innovation is a UWB sensor. Thanks to their use, companies can, e.g. significantly increase the productivity, efficiency and accuracy of warehouse processes. Learn more about the precise, fast and reliable UWB sensors used by the intelligent WMS PINQUARK system and learn about the benefits of implementing ultra-wideband technology (UWB) in your warehouse.

In this tutorial we will show you how to create a simple receive process in Pinquark Application Wizard from scratch. It will require from you just about 15 minutes to configure all screens just as you want.

Pinquark WMS offers very simple way of drawing a warehouse due to build in Pinquark WMS map designer. It allows to set up all rack locations and parameters just on real dimension map. You can put all elements like walls, doors, racks, zones and many other elements from our drawing tool library.

Laude Smart Intermodal SA is a dynamically developing company offering transport and logistics services. Thanks to the implementation of the PINQUARK system the supplier has significantly shortened, among others, the implementation time of key logistics processes, reduced costs and completely eliminated printed documents at selected stages of the supply chain. The new WMS system has also led to the increase of the automation level in the modern Laude Logistics Center located in Poland.

In the logistics industry, the principle of "time is money" applies. The more time warehouse workers have to spend at work to complete all the tasks entrusted to them, the higher the cost borne by the company. Therefore, effective warehouse management should assume the appropriate organization of the warehouse - both spatial and temporal. All warehouse processes should be carried out as quickly as possible and with a minimum amount of work. To achieve this, an appropriate WMS system that will help to optimize key activities taking place in the entire warehouse, should be chosen.

Among the key issues that have a direct impact on reducing the costs of storing goods in a warehouse there are such factors as the efficient use of warehouse space and knowledge of where individual products are located. Due to the need to optimize logistics costs and to constantly increase the efficiency of warehouse processes, more and more companies decide to implement specialized WMS systems that support the warehouse management.

The efficient functioning of warehouses is one of the key elements of the logistics chain in both large companies and small businesses. Regardless of whether a given facility has a huge storage space or a small area for storing goods, they have one thing in common - they must work as effectively as possible. WMS systems are designed to increase the efficiency of the most important warehouse processes through automation, to support employees and reduce the costs of the business. According to the estimates of Research and Markets experts, fully automated warehouse systems can help to optimize logistics activities in a warehouse to 60% and reduce warehouse operating costs by up to 65%.

The digital revolution is accelerating. According to the data presented in the Deloitte report "Automation with intelligence. Pursuing organization-wide reimagination" , as many as 73% of companies in the world started introducing intelligent automation in 2020 - in 2019 this result was at the level of 58%. Deloitte experts estimate that the market of automated technologies will grow at a rate of 40.6% annually and by 2027 it will probably reach a value of $ 25.66 billion.

More and more distribution companies, e-commerce companies and 3PL logistics operators use modern technologies in their daily work in line with the concept of Industry 4.0. What is driving the development of the fourth industrial revolution in the field of logistics? First of all, the fact that the implementation of innovations related to it can help to achieve significant improvements in work efficiency and reduce costs. PINQUARK experts believe that the implementation of modern WMS systems in warehouses is a key success factor. Today, the use of modern technologies in the area of logistics is more important than ever.

It is a fully mobile system available in a subscription model that meets the needs of small businesses.

More and more entrepreneurs are investing in automation. Thanks to the use of new technologies, companies are able not only to quickly respond to changes and market needs as well as overcome obstacles, but also to optimize supply chains and operational efficiency, reduce costs and increase their competitive advantage. According to a study conducted by McKinsey & Company in 2020, as many as two out of three companies decided to accelerate the automation processes and increase the scale of the use of artificial intelligence. In the United States, 83% of organizations took such action.

WMS systems are constantly developed. Progress in this area is driven primarily by the growing customer requirements, the dynamic development of the e-commerce industry, the need to cut costs and increase efficiency, as well as the need to provide faster and safer deliveries. PINQUARK experts who have experience in designing and building advanced IT solutions for the logistics industry, present the key trends driving the development of WMS systems.

The highest quality of service for business partners, effective management of all logistics activities, full control over stock levels and processes related to servicing individual customers are the key factors influencing the success of companies operating in the 3PL (Third Party Logistics) business. The constantly growing expectations of companies using the services of external logistics providers means that 3PL companies must implement innovative system solutions that will provide their customers with services at the highest level, as well as increase the efficiency of warehouse processes and allow them to maintain optimal margins.

Large distribution companies, small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the area of e-commerce or 3PL logistics operators - the vast majority of companies related to the logistics industry face increasing challenges related to the need to increase the efficiency of operations, reduce costs and respond to changing conditions in the market. It is therefore not surprising that more and more entrepreneurs abandon the traditional approach to warehouse management in favor of innovative IT technologies. They implement modern WMS systems based on artificial intelligence and use their potential, reaping quickly measurable benefits for their businesses.
