Modern warehouses use digital systems for accurate round steel inventory tracking:
1) Barcode/RFID tagging: Each bundle (10-50 pieces) has a tag with specification (Φ20 Q235B), batch number (20240612), storage location (Zone C, Shelf 5), and quantity;
2) ERP integration: Tags sync with ERP software (e.g., SAP), enabling real-time stock updates-shipping 20 Φ20 pieces automatically deducts from inventory and alerts if stock falls below safety levels (e.g., 50 pieces);
3) Location mapping: Digital floor plans show exact positions, reducing retrieval time from 20 minutes to 5 minutes;
4) Forecasting tools: AI-powered demand forecasts (based on historical data) suggest procurement-if Q235B Φ16 demand rises 15% next month, the system recommends ordering 200 pieces to avoid stockouts.
