由于客户订单的复杂性和多样性不断增加，仓库运营需要改变。由于高度定制化的订单往往批量较小，但品种繁多，因此需要实时数据和上下文信息。由于订单经常根据客户要求而变化，因此同步采购订单以支持生产以确保按时履行订单非常重要。然而，效率低下和不准确的订单拣货流程对订单履行产生了不利影响。本文的目标是提出一种基于物联网（IoT）的仓库管理系统，该系统采用先进的数据分析方法，使用计算智能技术，为工业4.0提供智能物流。基于案例公司收集的数据，提出的基于物联网的仓库管理系统可以提高仓库的生产力，拣选的准确性和效率，并对订单的变化具有鲁棒性。
Warehouse operations need to change due to the increasing complexity and variety of customer orders. The demand for real-time data and contextual information is requried because of the highly customised orders, which tend to be of small batch size but with high variety. Since the orders frequently change according to customer requirements, the synchronisation of purchase orders to support production to ensure on-time order fulfilment is of high importance. However, the inefficient and inaccurate order picking process has adverse effects on the order fulfilment. The objective of this paper is to propose an Internet of things (IoT)-based warehouse management system with an advanced data analytical approach using computational intelligence techniques to enable smart logistics for Industry 4.0. Based on the data collected from a case company, the proposed IoT-based WMS shows that the warehouse productivity, picking accuracy and efficiency can be improved and it is robust to order variability.
