Six Smart Material Management Solutions

SaaS Smart Line-Side Warehouse Solution

36-Yun smart cabinets are installed on workshop sites for self-service issuing and return management of high-frequency materials such as cutting tools, measuring tools, spare parts and consumables. Employees can issue items through the mobile app, QR scanning, card swiping or account permissions, while warehouse staff view inventory, issuing, returns, damage reports and replenishment records in real time.

The solution connects smart cabinets, cameras, label printers, scanners and scan modules to the cloud, creating a closed loop from inbound storage, shelving, issuing, returns and replenishment to traceability. It reduces long-term manual staffing on site, automatically aggregates data, and suits manufacturers that want fast deployment and gradual line-side warehouse digitization.

Smart Warehouse Manager: Low-Cost Unmanned Warehouse Solution

The unmanned warehouse solution is designed for factories, maintenance rooms and spare-parts rooms that need to reduce staffing costs. Positioning controllers are placed at warehouse entrances or shelf locations; after login, employees follow system prompts to find materials and confirm records through QR scanning, RFID or quantity confirmation.

The system automatically generates picking workflows, inventory changes and exception alerts. It keeps the centralized storage advantages of traditional warehouses while reducing repetitive manual door opening, registration, searching and checking. It can significantly improve issuing efficiency for night shifts, distributed workshops and multi-shift production sites.

Private-Deployment Material Management Solution

For enterprises requiring intranet deployment, data security, permission auditing and system integration, 36-Yun provides private-deployment solutions. Smart cabinets, back-office systems, databases and interface services can be deployed in customer-specified environments for scenarios such as group factories, defense and medical sites with strict data-boundary requirements.

The solution supports Windows private deployment and domestic IT environment adaptation. It can integrate with existing ERP, MES and WMS systems while keeping local data control and synchronizing issuing, returns, inventory, damage reports and replenishment data.

Integrated Smart Supply Chain Low-Cost MRO Solution

The low-cost MRO solution suits enterprises that want supply-chain service providers to jointly manage consumables, cutting tools and spare parts. Smart cabinets collect issuing, return, inventory and replenishment data so supply-chain companies can replenish based on real consumption and reduce manual statistics and repeated communication.

The system connects the demand enterprise, supply-chain companies and on-site cabinets. It supports multiple suppliers, consigned materials, alert thresholds and automatic replenishment workflows, helping reduce inventory occupation and improve material supply response.

Integrated Smart Supply Chain VMI Material Management Solution (Demand Enterprise as System Operator)

The VMI solution suits material management models where customers want inventory control while retaining existing supplier relationships. The demand enterprise sets inventory limits, alert thresholds, issuing rules and replenishment workflows in the system, while supply-chain companies replenish according to actual demand.

On-site smart cabinets collect issuing, return and inventory-change data, while the VMI system summarizes material data and sends replenishment information. This model suits high-frequency consumables, consigned materials and multi-supplier collaboration, reducing overstock and improving replenishment accuracy.

Multi-Scenario Standard Custom Solution

Beyond manufacturing material management, 36-Yun can provide standardized customization for offices, rental, shared warehouses and public-service scenarios. Cabinets, labels, scanning, apps, mini programs and back-office systems are combined around site space, material form, user permissions and payment or settlement methods.

Whether for office supplies, books and toys, shoe and laundry receiving, shared warehouses or other scenarios, the system can be configured around self-service pickup and return, real-time records, automatic settlement and remote management to reduce staffing and improve operating efficiency.

Customer Smart Cabinet Delivery Sites

This section presents customer sites, cabinet combinations, delivery workflows and representative application scenarios.

From Solution Confirmation to On-Site Go-Live

Project delivery usually starts with an on-site material inventory, confirming material dimensions, control granularity, usage frequency, weighing or RFID needs, and then selecting cabinet combinations around warehouse layout and personnel flow.

After equipment arrives, installation, networking, permission import, label-rule configuration and trial operation are completed. During go-live, initial inventory data, employee permissions, abnormal-door alerts and replenishment thresholds are checked so the site team can switch smoothly.

Smart Cabinet Combination Delivery Site

Smart Cabinet Combination Deployment

Main cabinets, auxiliary cabinets, door cabinets and locker cabinets can be combined around warehouse space to store materials of different sizes by category.

Multi-Scenario On-Site Delivery

Multi-Scenario Site Adaptation

Workshops, tool rooms, laboratories and spare-parts rooms can all be configured with different permissions and approval rules around the issuing workflow.

Standardized Custom Solution

Standardized Custom Delivery

Delivery templates are built around material types, turnover frequency and storage-location methods so they can be reused and expanded.
