Automated stereoscopic library

    Three-dimensional library, also known as elevated or elevated warehouse, generally refers to the use of several layers, dozens of layers and even dozens of layers of high shelf storage unit of goods, with the appropriate material handling equipment for warehousing and warehousing operations. As such warehouses can take full advantage of space storage of goods, Guchang image to be called "three-dimensional warehouse."

AS / RS is a revolutionary achievement of logistics technology. It is composed of high-level shelves, roadway stacker, conveyer, control system and computer management system (WMS). It can be completed under the control of computer system Automatic access to goods.

The basic components of automated stereoscopic library:

  High-rise shelves: steel structures used to store goods. At present, there are welded shelves and modular shelves in two basic forms.

  2. Pallet (container): used to carry the goods of the apparatus, also known as station equipment.

  3. Roadway Stacker: Equipment used for automatic access to goods. According to the structure is divided into single column and double column two basic forms; by way of service is divided into straight road, turn and transfer car three basic forms.

  4. Conveyor system: The main peripheral equipment of the stereoscopic library, responsible for transporting the goods to the stacker or removing the goods from the stacker. Conveyor type is very large, a common roller conveyor, chain conveyor, lifting platform, distribution car, lifting machine, belt machine.

  5.AGV system: that is automatically guided car. According to its orientation is divided into induction-guided car and laser-guided car.

  6. Automatic control system: Automatically control the automatic control system of each equipment of automatic stereoscopic warehouse system. At present, the use of field bus mode for the control mode based.

  7. Inventory information management system (WMS): also known as the central computer management system. Is the core of fully automated three-dimensional library system. At present, the typical automatic three-dimensional library system uses large-scale database systems (such as ORACLE, SYBASE, etc.) to build a typical client / server system, and other systems (such as ERP systems) networking or integration.

Superiority

The advantages of automated warehouse is various, for enterprises, can be reflected from the following aspects:

1. Space utilization

    Improve the spatial utilization of the early three-dimensional warehouse concept, the basic starting point is to improve space utilization, and fully save the limited and valuable land. In some western countries, the idea of improving space utilization has a broader and deeper meaning. Land conservation has been linked with more aspects such as energy conservation, environmental protection and so on. Some even the utilization of space as a system of rationality and advanced assessment of the important indicators to be treated. The space utilization of the stereoscopic library is closely related to its planning. In general, the automation of elevated storage space for its general level of 2-5 times the library. This is quite impressive.

2. Logistics system

    Easy to form an advanced logistics system to improve the level of production and management of traditional warehouses is only a place for cargo storage, preservation of goods is its only function, is a "static storage." The automated warehouse adopts the advanced automatic material handling equipment, not only can the goods in the warehouse according to the need automatic access, but also with the warehouse outside the production link organic connection, and through the computer management system and the automated material handling equipment makes the warehouse to become An Important Link in Enterprise Production Logistics. Enterprise purchased parts and self-made pieces of production into the automated warehouse storage is a part of the entire production, short-term storage is to automatically output at a specified time to the next process for production, thus forming an automated logistics system, which is a " Dynamic storage ", is today's automated warehouse development of a clear technology trends. The above-mentioned logistics system is also a subsystem of the entire enterprise production management system (from the order, the necessary design and planning, planning and production arrangements, manufacturing, assembly, testing, shipping, etc.), a logistics system and enterprise large Real-time connectivity between systems is another significant technology trend in the development of automated elevated warehouses.

3. Access rhythm

    Speed up the pace of access to goods, reduce labor intensity and improve production efficiency to establish a three-dimensional warehouse automated logistics system as the center, its superiority is also reflected in the automated warehouse with high-speed library out of the ability to quickly and properly goods Into the elevated library (storage), but also quickly and automatically and automatically produce the required parts and raw materials on the production line. At the same time, the realization of automated warehouse is to reduce the labor intensity, including:

 1) the use of automatic roadway stacker instead of manual storage of goods and manual pickup, both fast and effort.

 2) The use of computer management system to manage the goods, greatly enhanced the management capacity of the goods, so that scientific management of warehousing, accuracy and reliability of a qualitative improvement, into the library management, database, reports and other workload becomes simple and quick , The labor intensity greatly reduced.

 3) Three-dimensional library system, supplemented by the library before the auxiliary transportation equipment, so that out of the library becomes simple and convenient.

 4) Automated stereoscopic library system requires a small number of operators and system maintenance personnel, not only saves manpower and material resources, saving money, but also improve the working environment, serve multiple purposes.

4. Inventory backlog

 1) to automate the library as the center of the factory logistics system to solve the production of the various aspects of circulation and supply and demand problems. So that the supply of raw materials and spare parts production and production of the number required to achieve an optimal value.

 2) The establishment of computer network system to make the procurement of raw materials and spare parts procurement more timely and meet the actual needs.

 3) The establishment of computer management system to strengthen the macro-control function, so that the production of all aspects of production to better meet the actual needs.

 4) the establishment of the finished product library and semi-finished products in order to solve the market supply and demand of the temporary inconsistency, give full play to their productive potential.
