An Industry 4.0 Technologies-Driven Warehouse Resource Management System

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.
