Putaway state
Received, put away and pickable are separate states.
Warehouse
Inbound, stock, picking and equipment alarms in one warehouse flow.

On-premdata stays local
This one stays inside the warehouse: putaway, stock accuracy, where picking slows, and which orders a stopped machine is holding.
Pain Points
- 01
Goods are on the floor while the system still says putaway pending
- 02
Count gaps have no receiving or picking cause
- 03
Slow picks are not tied to bin, route or machine
- 04
Machine alarms are not tied to the current order
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
- Electronic labels
- Forklifts
- Temperature
- Conveyors
- Access
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
- Shelf status
- Stock variance
- Picking bottlenecks
- Affected orders
- 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
Why the count differs
A gap is tied to receiving or picking when the data allows.
Where picking stalls
A slow order shows a bin problem or a machine problem.
What the stop affects
A stopped crane or conveyor lists the orders it holds.
Where it fits
- High-bay warehouses
- Floor warehouses
- Cold stores
- Cross-dock
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.
- 14:00 Bin heat
One rack is picked 40 times a day and the path clearly goes around it.
- 14:30 Re-slot
Fast movers move closer, and paths and task order change with them.
- That week
Distance per order drops, and the numbers inform the next slotting.
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.
Pickable status is explicit
Count gaps trace to a step
A stop lists the orders it affects

Questions
Where does this industry get stuck?

What does Yifu do here?
Putaway state: Received, put away and pickable are separate states. Why the count differs: A gap is tied to receiving or picking when the data allows. Where picking stalls: A slow order shows a bin problem or a machine problem. What the stop affects: A stopped crane or conveyor lists the orders it holds.
What changes after it is in place?
Pickable status is explicit Count gaps trace to a step A stop lists the orders it affects
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.
