The following are Shuttle Rack Analysis of advantages and disadvantages of
advantage:
High density storage: shuttle shelves can use storage space and improve storage density per unit area through multi-layer and multi column design. According to relevant data, its space utilization rate can reach more than 80%, far higher than the traditional shelf.
Fast inbound and outbound: The WAP-1 shuttle car operated by radio remote control can realize the rapid movement of pallet goods on the rack lane guide rail, thus greatly reducing the waiting time for operations and improving the inbound and outbound efficiency.
Easy to operate: the shuttle rack system is highly integrated and easy to operate, which reduces the error rate of manual operation and improves the efficiency and accuracy of operation.
Manpower saving: The automated shuttle shelf reduces the need for manual handling and operation, thus reducing the labor intensity and quantity of employees and saving labor costs.
Flexible operation mode: the storage mode of goods can be first in first out or first in last out, which meets the requirements of different warehouse management.
High safety factor: since no forklift is required to enter the rack roadway, the collision between the rack and the forklift is reduced, and the operation safety is improved.
Low overall investment: although the initial investment cost of shuttle shelf is high, its storage and operation capacity can bring greater economic benefits in the long run, and the lighting requirements are relatively low, further reducing the overall investment.
Disadvantages:
High investment cost: shuttle shelf belongs to automatic storage equipment, and its investment cost is relatively high, which requires enterprises to have certain economic strength.
Limited scope of application: shuttle racks are generally suitable for the storage management of pallet goods, but not for the storage of small and scattered goods.
A stable power supply is required: the shuttle robot needs a stable power supply, which may affect the normal operation of the shelf in case of power failure.
High maintenance cost: In order to ensure the stable operation of shuttle truck racks, there are high requirements for racks, rails and accuracy, and professional and reliable service teams are required to be responsible for repair and maintenance. The maintenance cost is high.
To sum up, the shuttle shelf has significant advantages in improving the storage density, operating efficiency and safety of the warehouse, but it also needs to take into account its investment cost, scope of application, maintenance cost and other factors.
