Loading equipment is equipped with radio terminals, and employees have the same ones in the shape of PC, that connects with server via radio channel. The System takes in concern all requirements that were placed by user, to store conditions, expiration dates, shipping, manufacturer, compatibility rules etc. Then automatically selects most suitable locations and presents it as tasks for employees, that are shown on the user interface. Completion of task is confirmed by reading bar codes. Moreover, system will optimize work of loading machines by having the precisely calculated tracks on the warehouse complex of that.
