The layout characteristics of the three-dimensional warehouse are mainly reflected in its height, mechanization and automation level. The following is a detailed introduction:
Height utilization: the height of the three-dimensional warehouse is generally more than 5 meters, up to 40 meters, and the common height is between 7 and 25 meters. This height design enables the stereoscopic warehouse to make full use of the vertical space and greatly increase the storage capacity.
Mechanized operation: Due to the high shelf height, manual operation is no longer practical, so the three-dimensional warehouse must use mechanized equipment for operation. These equipment include stacker, conveyor line, RGV (rail shuttle vehicle), AGV (automatic guided vehicle), etc. They together constitute the core hardware of the three-dimensional warehouse.
Automated management: Automated three-dimensional warehouse is a new concept in logistics warehousing. It realizes the rationalization of the high-level warehouse, the automation of access and the simplification of operation through advanced equipment and technology. This kind of automatic management not only improves the work efficiency, but also reduces the labor intensity and storage and transportation losses.
Flexible and diverse: according to different requirements and material characteristics, the three-dimensional warehouse can adopt a variety of layout forms and storage methods. For example, tray type Stereoscopic library AS/RS and Miniload are two common types, which are suitable for different types of cargo storage.
Security planning: In the design of three-dimensional warehouse, the security of goods and storage planning also need to be considered. For example, the principle of "light on top and heavy on bottom, uniform storage and classified storage" should be followed, and it should be ensured that materials that are easy to be damaged, deliquescent and corrosive are not suitable for automated warehouse storage.
System integration: The stereoscopic warehouse is not only a simple stack of hardware equipment, but also needs to be combined with ERP (enterprise resource planning system), WMS (warehouse management system), WCS (warehouse control system) and other software systems to achieve real-time information sharing and intelligent scheduling.
To sum up, the layout characteristics of the three-dimensional warehouse are reflected in its high utilization, mechanized operation, automatic management, flexible and diverse storage methods, security planning, system integration and other aspects. These characteristics together constitute an intelligent and safe logistics warehousing solution for stereoscopic warehouse.
