Interpretation of automated warehouse: open a new era of efficient storage

Automated warehouse (Automatic Storage & Retrieval System, referred to as AS/RS), also known as high-rise shelf warehouse. An automated three-dimensional warehouse refers to a warehouse that uses several layers, more than a dozen layers or even dozens of layers of shelves to store unit goods, and uses corresponding material handling equipment to store goods in and out of the warehouse. Because this kind of warehouse can make full use of space to store goods, it is often called "three-dimensional warehouse". The emergence and development of three-dimensional warehouse is the result of the development of production and technology after the Second World War. In the early 1950 s, there was a three-dimensional warehouse using bridge stacking cranes in the United States. In the late 1950 s and early 1960 s, there was a three-dimensional warehouse of lane stacking cranes operated by drivers. In 1963, the United States took the lead in adopting computer control technology in elevated warehouses and established the first computer-controlled three-dimensional warehouse. Since then, automated warehouse has developed rapidly in the United States and Europe, and formed a specialized discipline. In the mid-1960s, Japan began to build three-dimensional warehouses, and the development speed is faster and faster, becoming one of the countries with the largest number of automated three-dimensional warehouses in the world. It is not too late for China to start the development of three-dimensional warehouse and its material handling equipment. In 1963, it developed the first bridge stacking crane (Beijing Institute of Lifting and Transportation Machinery, Ministry of Machinery). In 1973, it began to develop China's first computer-controlled automated three-dimensional warehouse (15 meters high, responsible for lifting by the Ministry of Machinery). The warehouse was put into operation in 1980. So far, the number of newly-built automated three-dimensional warehouses in my country is about 100 each year. The three-dimensional warehouses have the characteristics of high space utilization, strong ability to enter and leave the warehouse, and the use of computers for control and management, which is conducive to the implementation of modern management by enterprises. It has become an indispensable storage technology for enterprise logistics and production management, and has received more and more attention from enterprises. Automated elevated warehouses have a wide range of applications and cover almost all industries. In China, the application of automated elevated warehouse industry mainly machinery, metallurgy, chemical industry, aerospace, electronics, medicine, food processing, tobacco, printing, distribution centers, airports, ports and so on. Automated warehouse is an important part of the rapid development of modern logistics system. It has many advantages, such as saving land, reducing labor intensity, eliminating errors, improving the level of warehouse automation and management, improving the quality of management and operation personnel, reducing storage and transportation loss, effectively reducing the backlog of working capital, improving logistics efficiency and so on, with the factory-level computer management information system networking and production line closely linked to the automated warehouse is today's CIMS (computer integrated manufacturing system) and FMS (flexible manufacturing system), the essential key link. Automated warehouse has a wide range of applications, mainly including the following aspects: manufacturing, pharmaceutical industry, e-commerce and logistics industry, food and beverage industry, tobacco industry, large retail enterprises, chemical industry, cold chain industry, aerospace industry, military field.

Warehousing Technology | Four-way Shuttle Knowledge Sharing

The four-way shuttle is an intelligent logistics handling equipment used in the automated warehouse system, which can complete the task of accessing goods between multi-layer shelves. Compared with the traditional stacker vertical warehouse, the four-way shuttle warehouse is not so strict in terms of warehouse height, shape and other conditions, the construction and maintenance costs are relatively low, and it has the characteristics of efficient, flexible and flexible operation. Main functions The four-way shuttle refers to a storage robot that can shuttle in the front, back, left and right directions in the plane. The device can realize automatic lane change and layer change and automatic access to goods. It is an intelligent device integrating automatic stacker, unmanned guidance, automatic handling and other functions. It has the advantages of faster speed, more accurate positioning and relatively simple control, and can realize more functions than traditional storage methods. Working principle The four-way shuttle generally has two sets of wheel trains, one is responsible for walking in the X direction, and the other is responsible for walking in the Y direction. Turning on the track can be realized by changing the wheel train. The four-way shuttle car layer change operation is mostly completed by the hoist outside the roadway. When the floor needs to be changed, the four-way shuttle car automatically drives into the hoist, and the hoist lifts it to the required floor to complete the floor change. In practical application, the hoist has two modes of operation: one is to operate without a car, and the other is to operate with a car. When working without a car, the hoist only lifts the cargo unit, and each floor needs to have a cargo transfer workstation to cooperate with the operation; when working with a car, the car and the cargo enter the hoist at the same time, the operation mode is characterized by a relatively simple system, but the operation efficiency is relatively low. Because the four-way shuttle can reach any location in the warehouse, the operation flexibility is strong, which has great advantages for the application of the storage system with low frequency. Theoretically speaking, if there is no requirement for the capacity of entering and leaving the warehouse, a four-way shuttle car can be arranged in one warehouse to complete the operation of entering and leaving the warehouse. The working process of the four-way shuttle mainly includes four key links: straight and reversing, sub-channel driving, main channel driving, and pallet lifting. The working principles of each link are introduced below. One is the straight and reversing link. The four-way shuttle car realizes four-way driving by changing the landing condition of both wheels. When the sub-rail wheel is on the ground and the main rail wheel is suspended, it is in the sub-channel mode, and the four-way shuttle can travel in the sub-channel at this time; when the main rail wheel is on the ground and the sub-rail wheel is suspended, it is in the main channel mode, and the four-way shuttle can travel in the main channel at this time. The second is the sub-channel driving link. The sub-channel driving positioning adopts the positioning code positioning method. When driving in the sub-channel, the four-way shuttle vehicle obtains the current position by real-time scanning the oblique lower positioning code, and realizes the precise positioning in the sub-channel. The third is the main channel driving link. The positioning mode and driving mode are the same as those of the sub-channel driving link. The four-way shuttle car obtains the current position by scanning the oblique lower positioning code in real time to realize accurate positioning. The fourth is the lifting link of the pallet. The four-way shuttle car takes the goods through the lifting of the pallet. The specific process is that the four-way shuttle car drives under the pallet in the sub-channel, and when it reaches the designated position, the pallet is lifted to carry out the picking operation; After the goods are successfully picked up, the four-way shuttle car drives the goods to the designated goods location, the pallet is lowered, and the pallet is placed in the destination goods location.
