With the continuous improvement of automation and information technology, all kinds of intelligent logistics equipment integrated with logistics information technology and automation technology are developing rapidly. Automated warehouse is one of the representative equipment.Because of the high efficiency of its operation has been widely used in manufacturing enterprises, the storage system of manufacturing industry has gradually separated from the traditional deployment mode and developed to a more lean and intelligent direction.What are the advantages of automated warehouse?
1. Improve space utilization
The vertical space of the warehouse is fully utilized, and the storage capacity per unit area is much larger than that of the traditional warehouse.In addition, the traditional warehouse must classify and store the goods, resulting in a large number of idle space. The automatic three-dimensional warehouse can randomly store any goods in any empty warehouse, and the system automatically records the accurate location, which greatly improves the utilization rate of space.
2. Realize material first in first out
Due to the limited space, traditional warehouses stack materials, which often lead to overstock and waste.The automated warehouse system can automatically bind the warehousing time of each ticket of materials, and automatically realize the first in first out of materials.
3. Intelligent operation account and real time synchronization
Traditional warehouse management involves a large number of documents transfer, and many of them are manually entered, so the process is cumbersome and error prone.After docking with ERP system, stereoscopic warehouse management system can realize automatic operation in the whole process from the formulation of production plan to the delivery of goods in and out of warehouse instructions, and the system can automatically post accounts, so as to ensure accurate and timely information, and avoid the problem of account and actual out of sync.
4. Meet the environmental requirements of the goods
Compared with the traditional warehouse, it can better meet the needs of special storage environment, such as dark, low temperature, toxic and other special environment.Ensure the safe operation of goods in the whole storage process, improve the quality of operation.
5. Traceability
Through bar code technology, accurately track the flow of goods, realize the traceability of goods.
6. Save the cost of human resources
In the three-dimensional warehouse, all kinds of automation equipment replace a lot of manual work, greatly reducing the cost of human resources.
7. Deal with dull materials in time
Some materials become dead materials due to technical transformation or outdated products, and forget to enter them into the account. They can not be cleaned up in time, occupying both inventory and capital.Three dimensional warehouse system of material warehousing, automatic account creation, no dead material, can search for a certain period of time no operation of the material, timely processing of dead material.
After 40 years of development in China, automated warehouse has entered a stage of rapid development.For the manufacturing industry, it is not only a change of storage tools, but also a lean management concept.With the continuous improvement of automation and management level, the speed of operation is accelerated, the ability of warehousing and delivery is enhanced, and the turnover rate of goods is improved.It has been applied more and more in manufacturing enterprises, especially in tobacco, medicine, machinery, automobile, food and beverage industries.
