The methods to realize the integration of warehousing and distribution are as follows:

The interface that combines the shipper and the storage cage center is the purchase and sales, followed by the purchase and sales information network.

A variety of information is integrated to build a database. In order to build an integrated storage cage system, the database is a must-have foundation. In terms of content, whether it is a shared database with the owner of the goods, or whether it is for the transmission of product information, it must be connected to the automation system, so there is a problem of standardization.

The standardization of information alone is not enough, but also the standardization of containers, so in road transportation and rail transportation, the container should be tracked. At the same time, there is the issue of standardization of subpoenas. With standardization, the pace of operation of the storage cage can be consistent, so that the storage cage system can achieve a continuous and balanced ideal state.

The automated warehouse system under the storage cage management system In the food industry, such a storage cage center is widely used. The warehouse management system of the storage cage center is connected with the sales storage cage management system of the cargo owner.

In the actual distribution center system, the ability to accept orders is also included. If there is appropriate inventory, ordering, distribution, delivery and other work can be carried out by the warehouse cage operator.
