Compared with ordinary warehouses, automated three-dimensional warehouses have many advantages, mainly in the following aspects:
1. Provide space utilization efficiency
The automated three-dimensional warehouse can make full use of the vertical and horizontal space in the warehouse to achieve high-density automatic access, and the storage capacity per unit area is more than 5 times that of ordinary warehouses. For example, we store one cubic meter of goods. One square meter of ordinary warehouse cannot store one goods, because space for storage of goods needs to be reserved; but if it is an automated three-dimensional warehouse, it can be stored vertically, and the height can be increased according to the design of the warehouse. With many storage layers and automated storage, the reserved storage activity space is much smaller than that of ordinary warehouses. In addition, the land utilization rate has been improved, which reduces the storage area and effectively reduces the investment cost of infrastructure.
2. Improve the quality of goods storage
In the automated three-dimensional warehouse, in the process of inbound and outbound operations and cargo scheduling, the vertical warehouse is combined with the roadway setting, using coordinate management, and monitoring the goods in real time through the warehouse management system. Plan to improve the storage quality of automated three-dimensional warehouses. In addition, the automated three-dimensional warehouse adopts a relatively sealed management and storage method to provide better storage and maintenance conditions for the goods.
3. Improve production efficiency
The automated three-dimensional warehouse can accurately realize the warehousing, warehousing, cargo inventory, clearance and capital verification, and inventory display; and can respond to the instructions of the production execution system (MES) in a timely manner, transport the production materials to the production line, and send the finished products to the warehouse area. , thus ensuring the rapid in-out capacity of the automated three-dimensional warehouse.
4. Conducive to building an advanced logistics system and improving the level of enterprise production management
The automated three-dimensional warehouse expands the single storage intelligence of the traditional warehouse, carries out efficient operation and management of materials, makes the goods change from "static storage" to "dynamic storage", and forms an intensive information flow, which is the link of all production links. It is an indispensable part of the enterprise logistics system and provides an accurate basis for management decisions.
However, automated three-dimensional warehouses inevitably have some shortcomings. Compared with ordinary warehouses, the biggest disadvantage of automated three-dimensional warehouses is that the initial investment is huge (manpower, material resources, and financial resources), and equipment maintenance costs are high. However, in terms of long-term benefits and comprehensive benefits, automated three-dimensional warehouses have late-mover advantages and rational economic value.
