Abstract

The last several years have seen the evolution of warehouse from stockpiling of inventory to high-velocity operations, allowing facilities to handle as many goods as they typically deal with, but at lower costs. Industry 4.0–driven technologies can help pave the way for the evolving warehouse, enabling automated systems to adapt to their environment and tackle tasks more efficiently. This paper presents a framework of warehouse resource management system based on Industry 4.0–driven technologies such as RFID, low-cost sensors, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, Internet of Things (IoT) and high-performance computing to enable a more flexible, adaptive, and productive warehouse.
