Compared to traditional warehouses, what are the advantages of automated high-bay warehouses?
Driven by disruptive innovation in high technology, warehouse management is moving towards automation, intelligent design, and unmanned operation. To cope with rising labor and rental costs, logistics warehouse management has been developing towards unmanned operation. There are significant differences in the application of automation technology in China's logistics warehouse management. So, compared with traditional warehouses, what are the advantages of automated three-dimensional warehouses?
1. Improve the overall utilization rate of warehouse space: In traditional warehouses, goods are stored on the warehouse floor, inevitably leading to wasted warehouse space due to empty areas and wide aisles for heavy equipment, resulting in low storage precision. Automated three-dimensional warehouses only use narrow embedded stacker crane aisles between each row of racks, improving the utilization rate of the internal warehouse area.
2. Significantly improve the utilization rate of warehouse volume: Traditional warehouses are limited by equipment handling and cannot achieve three-dimensional use of the warehouse, leading to wasted three-dimensional space and the need to expand the total warehouse area; even with three-dimensional storage racks, the top shelves are difficult to access manually, posing high risks.
3. Easy to maintain goods: The use of WMS, WCS system software, and docking with enterprise ERP/SAP/MES management systems can also maintain the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) storage of goods, eliminating the "last-in, first-out" phenomenon caused by human factors.
4. The application of automated conveyor systems and stacker cranes greatly reduces the workload of warehouse staff, providing the possibility of unmanned operation: Stacker cranes are directly connected to automated conveyors, and warehouse staff only need to monitor system operation occasionally, achieving automated access.
5. Dynamic management of storage locations, reducing the backlog of raw materials in warehousing logistics: In traditional warehouses, manual inventory of raw materials, employee visual identification of raw materials, and static data material management lead to backlog of raw material inventory, and unsold materials cannot be fed back in time, resulting in "sleeping" and devaluation of warehouse cash.
