Selection and planning of storage yard
The selection and layout of storage yard is of great significance to the infrastructure investment, logistics costs, labor conditions, etc. of the storage system. Considering the urban planning and the overall operation of third-party logistics enterprises, Automatic stereo library Z is preferred to be close to transportation hubs such as ports, docks, freight stations, or production places or raw material origin, or main sales markets, which can greatly reduce the costs of third-party logistics enterprises. Whether the storage yard address is reasonable also has a certain impact on environmental protection, urban planning, etc. For example, choose to set up automation in commercial areas subject to traffic restrictions Stereoscopic library On the one hand, it is not in harmony with the prosperous business environment, on the other hand, it needs to spend high prices to buy land. Z The important thing is that due to traffic restrictions, it is obviously unreasonable that goods can only be delivered at midnight every day.
Determine the form, operation mode and mechanical equipment parameters of the library
The form of warehouse shall be determined on the basis of investigating the variety of goods to be warehoused. Generally, the unit goods format warehouse is used. If the goods stored are single or few in variety and the goods are large in batch, gravity shelves or other forms of through warehouse can be used. Determine whether stacking and picking is required according to the process requirements (whole cell or sporadic receipt/delivery) of receipt/delivery. If picking is required, determine the picking method.
On Automatic stereo library There is also a kind of operation mode that is often used in the "free location" mode, that is, goods can be put into storage nearby. Especially for goods that are frequently put in and out of storage and that are too long and overweight, they should be operated near the place of arrival and delivery as far as possible. This can not only shorten the time of putting in and out of storage, but also save the handling costs.
There are many kinds of mechanical equipment used in automated three-dimensional warehouse, generally including roadway stacker, continuous conveyor, high-rise shelf, and automated guided vehicle. During the overall design of the warehouse, the mechanical equipment suitable for Z should be selected according to the size of the warehouse, the variety of goods, the frequency of warehousing and unloading, and the main parameters of these equipment should be determined.
Distribution of warehouse area and other areas
Because the total area is certain, and many third-party logistics enterprises only pay attention to the area of office and experiment (including R&D) when building automated three-dimensional warehouses, but ignore the warehouse area, this situation has resulted, that is, in order to meet the needs of warehouse capacity, they have to meet the requirements by developing into space. However, the higher the shelf, the higher the purchase cost and operation cost of mechanical equipment. In addition, because the Z-optimal logistics route in the automated three-dimensional warehouse is linear, but the warehouse design is often limited by the plane area, resulting in its own logistics route circuitous (often S-shaped, or even mesh), which will increase a lot of unnecessary investment and annoyance.
