What is warehousing for?

Warehousing is the storage and custody of goods and articles through warehouses.

"Warehouse" refers to the warehouse, which is the general name of buildings and places for storing, keeping and storing articles. It can be a building, a cave, a large container or a specific place, and has the function of storing and protecting articles.

Warehousing is a comprehensive place to reflect the material activities of the factory, a transit station connecting production, supply and sales, and plays an important auxiliary role in promoting production and improving efficiency.

Industry status

1, the storage cost is high. Storage difficulty is a common phenomenon in the whole logistics industry. Strict land management policies make it more difficult for warehousing enterprises to take land, and the cost of land acquisition and land use is higher.

2. The warehouse layout is not reasonable enough. Due to the lack of unified national standards and professional planning and design, there are many problems in the new storage areas that have been built in various places.

3. The development of storage equipment and technology is unbalanced. Due to the limited investment capacity of the warehousing industry, in the face of the rapid growth of warehousing demand, the number of new warehouses is in short supply, and distribution vehicles, container technology, picking technology and information technology are in urgent need of upgrading.
