Question 1

Which technology uses computer vision and AI to identify products without barcodes or RFID tags in modern fulfillment centers?

Accepted Answer

Machine learning-based image recognition

Answer

AI-powered image recognition systems can identify products, verify picks, and detect defects using cameras without requiring physical labels.

Question 2

In a WMS, 'cross-docking' functionality is characterized by:

Accepted Answer

Moving products directly from receiving to outbound staging with minimal or no storage

Answer

Cross-docking moves inbound freight directly to outbound shipments, bypassing storage to reduce handling time and inventory holding costs.

Question 3

An Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) in a warehouse differs from an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) because an AMR:

Accepted Answer

Navigates dynamically using onboard sensors without fixed tracks or magnets

Answer

AMRs use SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and onboard intelligence to navigate around obstacles, unlike AGVs that follow fixed paths.

Question 4

What does the 'available-to-promise' (ATP) function in an ERP/WMS calculate?

Accepted Answer

The quantity that can be committed to a customer order based on current stock and scheduled receipts

Answer

ATP considers on-hand inventory, pending receipts, and existing commitments to determine how much can be promised to a new customer order.

Question 5

A warehouse using 'voice-directed picking' (VDP) relies on which core technology?

Accepted Answer

Speech recognition and text-to-speech software integrated with the WMS

Answer

VDP systems convert WMS pick instructions into spoken commands and interpret verbal confirmations from workers, enabling hands-free, eyes-free picking.
