Wanda Riddick Johnson: 我在Deloitte负责供应链业务,特别是订单履行的部分,其中WMS的选择、实施和运营评估是我的专长。Deloitte的供应链服务涵盖产品工程与开发、采购、智能工厂、订单履行和数字供应链等多个方面。我们帮助客户选择合适的WMS,进行运营评估,并作为系统集成商协助实施。在过去的20多年里,我见证了WMS从本地部署到云端部署的转变,以及数据分析和机器学习在仓库运营中的应用。选择WMS需要先进行运营评估,制定路线图,明确未来需求,然后缩小供应商范围,进行比较和演示,并与现有用户沟通。一些公司出于数据安全考虑仍然选择本地部署的WMS,但云端部署的WMS更有利于未来的升级和竞争力提升。公司选择新的或云端WMS的主要驱动因素包括流程改进、解决劳动力短缺问题以及提升竞争力。疫情后,企业对WMS的需求激增,主要原因是电商的快速增长,需要一个能够同时满足门店、电商和第三方客户需求的系统。选择新兴WMS供应商时,应注意其财务稳定性,进行尽职调查,并寻求系统集成商的帮助。Deloitte的智能仓库体验中心是一个实际运行的设施,展示了自动化技术和数据分析在仓库运营中的应用,并用于培训下一代工程师。智能仓库是指利用自动化和人工智能技术优化仓库运营,并通过数据分析提升效率和客户体验的仓库。我们将在ProMat 2025上首次设立展位,并参与行业报告发布和主题演讲。 Kevin Lawton: 作为主持人,我与Wanda Riddick Johnson讨论了Deloitte在供应链和WMS方面的业务,以及WMS选择和实施过程中的挑战和机遇。我们探讨了WMS的演变,包括从本地部署到云端部署的转变,以及数据分析和机器学习的应用。我们还讨论了疫情对WMS需求的影响,以及如何选择合适的WMS供应商,特别是新兴供应商。最后,我们还谈到了Deloitte的智能仓库体验中心,以及智能仓库的概念。
