After 40 years of development in China, automated three-dimensional warehouses have entered a stage of rapid development in recent years. At the same time, with the continuous progress of automation and informatization, all kinds of intelligent logistics equipment integrating logistics information technology and automation technology are developing rapidly, and automated three-dimensional warehouse is a representative equipment among them. And applied in tobacco, medicine, machinery, automobile, food and beverage and other occupations.
A three-dimensional warehouse is usually composed of high-rise shelves, aisle-type stackers, inbound and outbound transportation systems, automatic control systems, warehousing management systems and peripheral equipment.
Among them, the automatic control system involves stackers, automatic shuttles, automatic conveying equipment, depalletizing robots, automatic guided vehicles (AGV) and other equipment, which is the core of the equipment execution of the entire automatic three-dimensional warehouse system. The scheduling computer of the logistics system is connected upward to accept the conveying instructions of materials; the conveying equipment is connected downward to complete the driving of the underlying equipment, the detection and identification of conveyed materials, and the transmission of material conveying and process control information. Complete the integrated control and management of equipment monitoring, data collection, communication network, and control interface.
The warehousing management system is the analysis and management of various warehousing management information such as orders, demand, in and out, cargo location, substandard products, and inventory status.
There are also many classification methods for automated three-dimensional warehouses. According to different classification specifications, there are different classification methods. At present, the primary classification method is to classify according to the structure of automated three-dimensional warehouse shelves, which can be divided into unit cargo format, through type, horizontal rotation type and vertical rotation type.
Classification of automated three-dimensional warehouses
(1) Unit cargo pattern: It is a relatively common form. There are lanes between the shelves, and the lanes occupy about one-third of the area.
Unit cargo layout
(2) Through type: It is mainly suitable for warehouses with few types of goods and relatively large quantities. It can greatly improve the utilization rate of the warehouse.
through type
(3) Horizontal rotation and vertical rotation: The shelves of this type of warehouse can run along a circular route in a horizontal plane or a vertical plane. It is mainly suitable for occasions where the operation frequency is not too high, and it is very suitable for the picking operation of small items.
