The developer "1C Logistics became the contractor of an implementation project: Management of a warehouse" – the AXELOT company which offered two-stage automation.

Such approach to automation allows to debug at first system operation according to technology processes of a warehouse and then, having made additional resources, to pass most "without serious consequences" to automatic identification of goods.

The first stage of the project of automation of a warehouse of "Joint venture-logistik" was begun in August, 2007 and lasted till June, 2008. The Customer and the Contractor started the second stage at the end of November, 2008. In May, 2009 all transactions in a warehouse were executed using radio data collection terminals.

In a warehouse of "Joint venture-logistik" the main transactions are automated: acceptance, placement, selection, shipment, internal transfer, feed, inventory. Accounting on expiration dates is implemented: information on an expiration date of goods is fixed in a system at acceptance and traced at all stages of cargo processing. Selection of goods in the order is executed taking into account restrictions on a residual expiration date for date of shipment for each client that allows to fulfill in accuracy strict requirements of network shops to deliverable products. The mass of unit of weight goods is specified in a system at acceptance, selection and shipment – each cheese separately is considered. Automatic order picking is made taking into account restrictions and admissions on weight for the specific client. Depending on a type and the owner of goods, the warehouse management system uses the certain specially developed algorithm for its processing.
