Box type three-dimensional warehouse: the intelligent choice for efficient warehousing!

Intelligent warehousing is a link in the logistics process. The application of intelligent warehousing ensures the speed and accuracy of data input in various links of goods warehouse management, ensuring that enterprises can timely and accurately grasp the real data of inventory, and reasonably maintain and control enterprise inventory. Through scientific coding, it is also convenient to manage the batch and shelf life of inventory goods. By utilizing the warehouse location management function of the storage system, it is possible to timely grasp the current location of all inventory goods, which is beneficial for improving the efficiency of warehouse management.

Automated three-dimensional warehouses are an important component of modern logistics systems and are widely used in various industries. At present, it has become one of the symbols of enterprise production and management informatization. Automated three-dimensional warehouse is a new concept that has emerged in logistics and warehousing. The use of three-dimensional warehouse equipment can achieve high-level rationalization, automated storage and retrieval, and simplified operation of warehouses, which is currently a highly advanced form of technology.

Hefei Hengli Equipment Co., Ltd. addresses the difficulties and pain points of traditional warehousing and logistics management, and combines customer production needs, process flow, business models, intelligent management, and other production and storage requirements to provide enterprises with a comprehensive solution for intelligent warehousing and logistics systems that integrates automation, informatization, and intelligence. Its automated three-dimensional warehouse systems mainly include the following categories: pallet type automated three-dimensional warehouse system, box type automated three-dimensional warehouse system, and dense automated three-dimensional warehouse system.

The box type automated three-dimensional warehouse system is a storage method that uses a material box stacker crane to automatically access and store material boxes. As an important component of modern logistics systems, the material box type three-dimensional warehouse is a multi-level elevated warehouse system for storing goods, mainly composed of shelves, stackers, conveying equipment, automatic control WCS, and management system WMS.

Main components

Shelf system: It is a support structure for material box storage, used to store material boxes. Its height can be designed according to warehouse space and storage requirements, generally reaching around 10-25 meters.

Access equipment: Usually automated equipment such as stacker cranes or shuttle trucks are used to move back and forth between shelves and complete the access operation of material boxes.

Conveyor system: connects the warehouse and workstation, used to transport material boxes from the storage port to the storage location, or from the storage location to the outbound port, achieving efficient flow of goods.

Control system: composed of computer management systems (such as WMS warehouse management system and WCS warehouse control system), used for real-time monitoring, scheduling, and management of material box storage, achieving automated storage and retrieval of goods.

Material box: As a standardized storage unit used to store goods, its size and specifications should match the shelves and storage equipment to achieve efficient storage and handling.

working principle

Storage process: After the operator loads the goods into the material box, the material box is transported to the storage port through the conveying system. The control system identifies barcode or QR code information on the material box, obtains the box number, cargo information, etc., and allocates suitable storage locations for the material box based on inventory situation and storage strategy. The stacker crane or shuttle truck transports the material box to the designated storage location according to the system's instructions.

Outbound process: After receiving the outbound order, the control system determines the location of the required material box based on the order information and issues a pickup instruction to the stacker crane or shuttle truck. The access device retrieves the target material box from the shelf and transports it to the outbound port through the conveying system. After checking and confirming at the outbound port, the operator takes out the goods from the bin and completes the outbound operation.

Inventory process: The inventory of material boxes in the warehouse can be automated through a control system. The system will periodically or based on set conditions, conduct inventory checks on inventory goods. During inventory, the stacker crane or shuttle truck accesses each storage location in sequence according to the system's instructions, scans the barcode or QR code information on the material box, and compares the scanned data with the information in the database to achieve real-time inventory, timely discover and handle differences and problems.

Hefei Hengli Equipment Co., Ltd. adopts a one-stop service of lean solution and intelligent equipment. The automated three-dimensional warehouse utilizes the cooperation of automated storage equipment and computer management system to achieve high-level rationalization of the three-dimensional warehouse. It combines different types of warehouse management software, graphic monitoring and scheduling software, barcode recognition and tracking system, handling robot, AGV car, cargo sorting system, stacker crane identification system, stacker crane control system, etc. to form a complete modern three-dimensional warehouse management system.

AGV distribution system: Through communication with industrial software such as MES and WMS, AGV can achieve automated handling management of warehouses and flexible dynamic allocation of cargo locations; By interacting with automation equipment PLC signals, AGV can achieve automatic distribution management of materials between workstations, changing the workflow from person to person delivery, improving work efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

Through the WMS warehouse management system, logistics activities are integrated throughout production and manufacturing, logistics management is standardized, and WMS supports the integration of multiple software systems and intelligent hardware products, connecting the interconnection chain, which is of great significance for enterprises to build a unified warehouse information platform.
