The goal of the warehousing business process is to improve warehousing efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure the safety of goods. By optimizing these processes, the operating efficiency of the warehouse can be improved, errors and losses can be reduced, and the safety of goods during storage and transportation can be ensured.

1. Goods placement and planning: Rationally plan the storage space and divide it according to factors such as the type, size, weight, and frequency of entry and exit of goods. For example, place goods that enter and exit frequently near the entrance and exit and the passage, place heavier goods on the bottom shelves, and place lighter goods on the upper floors. In addition, follow the stacking principle of goods to ensure that the goods are stacked firmly to prevent collapse.

2. Environmental control: Temperature and humidity regulation has different requirements for different goods. For example, food, medicine, precision electronic components, etc. are more sensitive to temperature and humidity, and it is necessary to install temperature and humidity monitoring equipment and adjustment systems, such as air conditioners, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, etc., to ensure that the temperature and humidity in the warehouse are controlled within a suitable range. Good ventilation can reduce the humidity in the warehouse and prevent the accumulation of odors and harmful gases.

Anti-theft measures include installing monitoring systems and access control systems to ensure the safety of the warehouse.

4. Cargo weight limit: Pay attention to the weight limit when storing goods. The weight of the goods should not exceed the load-bearing range of facilities such as shelves and cargo shelves to prevent the risk of goods falling due to the breakage of shelves or cargo shelves.
