Enhancing Supply Chain Management with Accurate Dimensioning Data

This particular retailer deals with thousands of stock keeping units (SKUs) on a daily basis and was having a hard time accurately and efficiently monitoring inventory storage in their distribution center. When new items would come in, dimensioning data surrounding new items would often be entered into the warehouse management system (WMS), but most of the time the data would be default values and not be accurate to the item. The implementation of a dimensioning-weighing-scanning (DWS) system can help to improve processes and operations in a retail supply chain. The Master Data Analyzer (MDA) from SICK gives the customer access to all dimensioning data for each SKU.
