One of the most important pieces of information, in particular, are the dimensions and weight of the product in question. The collection of such critical data is possible with the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hkkgroup.pl\/en\/?post_type=dt_portfolio&#038;p=83875\">special sizing equipment.<\/a> With such information, the system can assess which place in the warehouse will be optimal for storing a particular commodity. The seasonality or frequency of product rotation is also extremely important. With basic information about how often a particular SKU is ordered, the WMS will automatically adjust the storage location to meet operational needs.  <\/p><p>As we mentioned earlier, assortment management is also extremely important. The supply chain problems highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic were very often due to both a shortage of goods and an excess of goods in stock. Collecting product volume data is therefore key here. We can achieve this with standard <a href=\"\/oferta\/czytniki-kodow-kreskowych\/\">code readers<\/a> and <a href=\"\/oferta\/kolektory-danych\/\">data collectors<\/a> for a relatively small number of SKUs. In the reality created by Logistics 4.0, we will most likely operate on a very large volume of products.
