Three-dimensional warehouse: intelligent upgrade of modern warehousing
Three-dimensional warehouse is a modern warehousing system that optimizes the use of vertical space for cargo storage and management through high-level shelves, automated equipment and intelligent management software. It is the intelligent upgrading direction of warehousing and logistics, especially in the scenario of tight land resources and high logistics time requirement. With technological progress, its application is expanding from large enterprises to small and medium-sized enterprises, becoming an important node in the modern supply chain.
Main features
The characteristics of the three-dimensional warehouse are mainly reflected in three aspects: vertical space utilization, automated operation and intelligent management.
1. Vertical space utilization: three-dimensional warehouse using multi-storey rack structure, significantly improve storage density, reduce floor space. This design allows the warehouse to store more goods in the limited ground space.
2. Automated operation: The three-dimensional warehouse greatly reduces manual reliance by using stacker cranes, conveyor belts, automatic guided vehicles (AGV) and other equipment to automatically access goods. Automated operation not only improves operational efficiency, but also reduces human error and ensures the accuracy of goods access.
3. Intelligent management: the three-dimensional warehouse integrates warehouse management system (WMS) and warehouse control system (WCS), which can monitor the inventory in real time, optimize the operation process, and support accurate scheduling. Through intelligent management, the warehouse can realize the visualization of inventory and real-time tracking of data, which improves the overall operational efficiency.
Main components
The main components of the three-dimensional warehouse include shelving system, access equipment, conveyor system, control center and information management system.
1. Shelving system: three-dimensional warehouse shelving system usually uses steel structure, able to carry unit goods. Common types of shelves include pallet, shuttle and gravity, etc., to meet the storage needs of different goods.
2. Access equipment: the access equipment of the three-dimensional warehouse includes stacker cranes, AGV, RGV and manipulators. These intelligent equipments can automatically complete the access operation of goods and improve the operational efficiency.
3. Conveyor system: the conveyor system consists of roller/belt conveyor, elevator, etc., which can connect the operation links and ensure the smooth flow of goods in the warehouse.
4. Control Center: The control center coordinates the operation of the equipment through PLC or industrial computer to ensure efficient synergy between the equipment.
5. Information Management: The information management system combines barcode/RFID technology to realize the visualization of inventory and real-time tracking of data, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of warehouse management.
Main advantages
4. Cost optimization: in long-term operation, the three-dimensional warehouse can reduce labor costs by 40% -60%, significantly optimizing operating costs.
