Book and bin
Quantity and location are looked up together, and gaps can be listed.
Logistics
Inventory, picking and warehouse equipment in one operation view.
- Stock and slots
- Picking progress
- Restock reminders
- Device status

On-premdata stays local
Stock, picking progress and equipment status stay together, so a shortage or a stopped machine shows up before the next wave is released.
Pain Points
- 01
The book says stock is there; the bin is empty
- 02
A wave is released onto a stopped line
- 03
Replenishment depends on experience, not a clear threshold
- 04
Equipment faults and job progress are on different screens
How the system is put together
Keep the equipment you have, connect the data first, then split the views by role. The connection layer takes the most work, and it is where most of our effort goes.
L1
Devices
- PDA and scanners
- Conveyors and sorters
- Forklifts
- Temperature sensors
- Access and docks
PLCs, meters, access control, cameras and sensors already on site. Read what is readable, add a module where it is not, and leave the existing control system alone.
L2
Connection
Modbus · OPC UA · MQTT · HTTP · GB28181 · SDK
Common protocols connect directly. The gateway handles protocol mapping, local buffering and backfill, so the data does not break.
L3
Platform
- Device registry
- Time-series data
- Alert rules
- Work orders
- Roles and audit
Device registry, time-series data, alert rules, work orders, roles and audit in one back end that serves several scenarios.
L4
Applications
- Stock and slots
- Picking progress
- Restock reminders
- Device status
- Manager view
- Phone actions on site
- Narrow external lookup
Data is collected once and reused by every scenario added later, which is why the connection layer has to be done properly the first time.
What we deliver
Pick progress
Floor and office see which wave is stuck.
Replenishment
A notice fires at the set level, before the bin is empty.
Equipment on the job
A stopped conveyor or sorter is marked on the related wave.
Where it fits
E-commerce warehouse - waves and picking
Waves pick paths by bin, and empty bins are flagged before the task starts.
Cold chain - temperature and door events
Cabin temperature and door-open time are logged, and odd segments link back to orders.
Yard transfer - vehicles and docks
Forklift and dock occupancy are visible, so waiting time on either side is measurable.
Stock reconciliation - book vs shelf
Differences list by bin, and picking records show whether it was a missed scan or a misplacement.
What a real day looks like
Not a feature list: what actually happens in a day. These four steps are the common shape of such projects.
- 09:15 Wave released
The path is built by bin, and empty bins are flagged before picking starts.
- 09:40 Short pick
The picker scans nothing, marks a shortage, and a replenishment task splits off automatically.
- 10:05 Line stop
The sorter stops; new waves hold and released tasks move to the other line.
- End of day
The variance list points at two bins, and a count is booked for the next day.
Delivery rhythm
Every stage has a checkable output. No six-month build followed by a single review.
- Week 1
Site survey
Walk the site, list devices, available ports and current systems, and mark what reads directly versus what needs a module.
- Week 2
Pick the first scenario
Rank the ideas by impact, feasibility and dependencies, then choose one that proves value without dragging in every department.
- Weeks 3-5
Connect and wire up
Gateways connect devices, data lands on the platform, and alert rules, roles and recipients are configured for a small internal group.
- Weeks 5-7
Pilot
One team or one building uses it for real; rules and screens change with feedback until false and missed alarms settle.
- Week 8
Accept and repeat
Check every acceptance item, finish documentation and training, then decide which buildings, lines or sites come next.
Acceptance is these three lines
The three items below come from projects of this kind and go into the acceptance sheet, instead of relying on a general impression.
Book and bin gaps show before picking
Stopped equipment blocks blind dispatch
Replenishment uses a set quantity

Questions
Where does this industry get stuck?

What does Yifu do here?
Book and bin: Quantity and location are looked up together, and gaps can be listed. Pick progress: Floor and office see which wave is stuck. Replenishment: A notice fires at the set level, before the bin is empty. Equipment on the job: A stopped conveyor or sorter is marked on the related wave.
What changes after it is in place?
Book and bin gaps show before picking Stopped equipment blocks blind dispatch Replenishment uses a set quantity
Do we have to replace our current systems?
No. The platform reads through interfaces or gateways and the existing systems stay in use. Only modules nobody maintains are worth replacing.
What does it cost, and how soon is it live?
Priced by scenarios and device connection points: a site survey produces the list, then a quote and schedule. Most projects have a first scenario live in four to eight weeks.
