Structure Of Warehouse Equipment
The structure of warehouse equipment mainly includes the following parts:
Shelves: Steel structures or reinforced concrete structures used to store goods. There are two basic forms: welded shelves and modular shelves.
Aisle stackers: Equipment used to automatically store and retrieve goods. According to the structural form, they are divided into two basic forms: single-column and double-column. According to the service mode, they are divided into three basic forms: straight, curved and transfer vehicles.
Conveyor system: Responsible for transporting goods to or removing goods from the stacker. Common ones include roller conveyors, chain conveyors, lifting platforms, distribution vehicles, elevators and belt conveyors.
Automatic guided vehicles (AGV systems): According to their guiding methods, they are divided into inductive guided vehicles and laser guided vehicles.
Control system: Such as WCS automatic control system, which adopts fieldbus as the control mode.
Warehouse Management System (WMS): It is the core of the fully automated three-dimensional warehouse system. It can be networked or integrated with other systems (such as ERP systems, etc.) and has functions such as warehousing, outbound storage, allocation, and management.
Classification and functions of warehouse equipment:
High-rise shelves: The three-dimensional shelves realize the storage function of goods, make full use of the three-dimensional space, and support the role of stackers. According to the different cargo carrying units, the three-dimensional shelves are divided into pallet rack systems and turnover box rack systems.
Aisle stacking crane: The core lifting and transportation equipment runs along the track in the aisle of the high-level shelf to realize the function of picking up and delivering goods.
Conveying system: It includes conveyor belts, shuttle vehicles (RGV), automatic guided vehicles (AGV), forklifts, palletizing robots, etc., which are connected with aisle stackers to cooperate in completing the handling and transportation of goods.
Automated control system: The control core connects the logistics scheduling system to realize the transmission of material transportation and process control information.
Warehouse Management System (WMS): Analyze and manage various warehouse management information such as orders, demands, warehousing, cargo locations, defective products, inventory status, etc. Peripheral equipment: including automatic identification systems, automatic sorting equipment, etc., used to expand the functions of automated warehouses, such as classification, measurement, packaging, sorting, etc.
