With chaotic warehousing or dynamic warehousing, the item is not assigned a fixed storage location, but moves around the warehouse during storage.
The storage locations are digitally recorded and labeled in the merchandise management system. The storage location in which the item can be stored is analyzed. The merchandise management system then recognizes where the item is located. It is important that the merchandise management system can work automatically.
