With the rapid growth of e-commerce, warehouse management has become a crucial component in ensuring operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Integrating big data into e-commerce warehousing has significantly influenced logistics by providing valuable insights into consumer behavior, inventory turnover, and supply chain performance. Warehouses can make better use of space, get orders filled faster, and get more accurate information with the help of technologies like automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), inventory forecasting models, real-time tracking with the Internet of Things (IoT), and AI-driven order picking. However, the adoption of these optimization technologies is not without challenges. Successful implementation requires addressing issues related to data quality and integration, high initial costs, workforce adaptation, and data security. By addressing these obstacles, e-commerce platforms can leverage warehouse optimization to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and meet increasing consumer demands in a competitive market. This passage will focus on the applications of optimization technology in warehouses based on a big data background and the challenges it will face in the optimization process.
