Automated warehouse (AS/RS) is a three-dimensional shelf, stacker machine, a storage tray conveyor system, the size of the detected bar code reading system, communication system, automatic control system, computer monitoring system, computer management system and other such as wire and cable bridge frame distribution cabinet, tray, adjustable platform, steel platform and auxiliary equipment the composition of complex automation system. The use of first-class integrated logistics concept, the use of advanced control, bus, communication and information technology, through the above equipment coordination action warehousing operations.
First, save the storage area, make full use of the warehouse space. The assembling of automated warehouse using large-scale storage shelf, coupled with the automatic management technology makes the goods easy to find, so the construction of automated warehouse than traditional warehouse covers an area of small, but large space utilization rate. In developed countries, improving the utilization rate of space has become an important evaluation index of system rationality and advanced nature. In the promotion of energy saving and environmental protection today, automated stereoscopic warehouse in saving land resources has a very good effect, but also will make the future development of warehousing a major trend.
Two, automated management to improve the management level of warehouse. The automated warehouse uses the computer to carry on the accurate information management to the goods information, reduced the mistake which possibly occurs in the storage goods, enhanced the work efficiency. At the same time, the stereoscopic automatic warehouse inventory of goods in transit to realize mechanization, handling safety, reduce the rate of damaged goods, through special design can be well preserved environment so that some have special requirements on environmental goods, such as toxic and explosive goods, also reduced the people may be in handling goods damage.
Three, automated warehouse can form an advanced production chain, and promote the progress of productivity. Professionals have pointed out that due to the access efficiency of the automated warehouse is high, so it can effectively connect the field production warehouse logistics system, can be formed in the automated storage, thus forming a planned layout of the production chain, the production capacity has been greatly improved.
