Sorters with pushers, cross belt sorters (with transverse belts) used to sort particularly delicate products and transporting them safely to the appropriate chute, or bomb-bay sorters often used in clothing warehouses - where a conveyor with trapdoors drops the transported goods to picking units located directly below it Storage, packaging and inspection of goods in e-commerce warehouses Although picking is of fundamental importance in the order processing process for e-commerce businesses, it is also worth considering the issue of storing goods, as well as their control and packaging.
Most products are not stored in homogeneous storage units (e.g. on pallets or containers); most often, you need to use storage systems for products with small stocks - such as shelf racks. To use the warehouse space, a very common photo retouching solution is to use a mezzanine. Managing picking and movement of picking units between individual mezzanine floors often requires the implementation of advanced algorithms in a WMS system. When warehouse automation is used, we can deal with automatic shelf warehouses or elevator cabinets. In turn, during the inspection and packaging processes, various warehouse documents are often printed - e.g. logistic labels, delivery notes or invoices.

Moreover, orders from e-commerce warehouses are most often sent by courier, which requires the warehouse WMS system to communicate with their systems in order to generate the shipment and print the courier label assigned to it. Does warehouse logistics evolve with the development of e-commerce? There is no doubt about it. The development of the e-commerce industry is driving the development of warehouse logistics, and solutions in this area are adapting to the handling of fragmented inventory and small orders. The specific structure of inventory, deliveries and releases forces the preparation of new solutions both in terms of storage technology, transport technology and management of the flow of goods through WMS systems.
