In the era of rapid development of the logistics industry, warehousing, as a crucial part of the supply chain, is undergoing profound changes. The emergence of intelligent storage robots, like a boulder into a calm lake, has aroused layers of ripples and become the core force to reshape the storage pattern. With innovative technology and excellent performance, it has fundamentally changed the operation mode of the traditional storage model and brought unprecedented development opportunities for the storage industry.
Break the bottleneck of efficiency and drive the industry efficiently
In the traditional storage mode, the handling, storage and sorting of goods mainly rely on manual operation, and the efficiency is greatly limited. Workers in a long time of high-intensity work, easy to produce fatigue, resulting in slowing down the speed of operation, error rate increased. The intelligent storage robot breaks this bottleneck and shows unparalleled efficiency.
In large e-commerce warehouses, multiple intelligent handling robots work together, like a well-trained team, tirelessly shuttling between shelves. They are able to quickly respond to system commands and move goods to a specified location at a very fast speed. According to actual data statistics, after the introduction of intelligent storage robots, the cargo handling efficiency has been increased several times or even tens of times compared with manual labor. After a well-known e-commerce company deployed intelligent warehousing robots, the order processing time was significantly reduced from the original average hour to less than half an hour, so that goods can be delivered to consumers faster, significantly improving the customer experience.
In the field of express sorting, intelligent sorting robots play a key role. Faced with a large number of packages, they can quickly identify package information and accurately sort it to the corresponding delivery route. For example, the thousand-way RGV sorting robot launched by Shentong Express reduces the floor area by about 50% compared with the traditional cross machine and sorting machine, but can achieve 100% automatic sorting, and the sorting efficiency is improved by about 30%, effectively alleviating the sorting pressure during the peak period of express delivery and ensuring the timeliness of express service.
Accurate operation, improve warehouse management
In a manually operated warehouse environment, problems such as cargo sorting errors and inventory record deviations occur from time to time, which not only affect customer satisfaction, but also bring additional costs. With advanced sensor technology and accurate algorithms, intelligent storage robots can achieve accurate operations and greatly improve the accuracy of storage management.
In the complex storage environment, the positioning accuracy error of the intelligent storage robot can be controlled at the millimeter level. In the cargo storage link, they can accurately place the goods in the designated storage location according to the system planning, avoiding the phenomenon of misplacement of goods. During the inventory, the robot can quickly scan the goods information, compare it with the system records, find the inventory differences in time, and ensure the accuracy of the inventory data. Taking a pharmaceutical warehouse as an example, after the introduction of intelligent storage robots, the inventory inventory accuracy rate has increased from 85% to more than 99%, effectively avoiding the problem of drug shortage or backlog caused by inventory management errors, and ensuring the stability of drug supply.
Intelligent planning, optimize storage space utilization
In order to adapt to the passage of labor and equipment, the traditional warehouse layout often sets wide aisles, which leads to a lot of space being wasted and the utilization rate of warehouse space is low. The autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance functions of intelligent storage robots have completely changed this situation, enabling warehouses to adopt a more compact and efficient storage layout.
Intelligent storage robots can freely shuttle through warehouses without wide aisles, which makes dense shelving systems widely used. After using such shelves, the utilization rate of warehouse space can be greatly increased from the traditional 30%-50% to 70%-90%, and some cleverly designed three-dimensional libraries can even reach more than 95%. For example, the intelligent three-dimensional warehouse of Changhong Sanjie New Energy Co., Ltd. realizes efficient cargo storage and handling in the space of only more than 1700 storage locations by using AGV intelligent handling robots and dense shelves. Only 6 AGV vehicles and 1 staff can maintain operation, greatly improving the storage capacity per unit area. Reduced storage costs.
Data empowerment to promote the intelligent upgrade of warehouse management
The intelligent storage robot does not operate in isolation, it is closely connected with the warehouse management system (WMS), and collects massive data such as the location, quantity and time of goods in real time, and transmits these data to the WMS for in-depth analysis. By mining these data, enterprises can control the warehouse operation status in real time and realize intelligent decision-making.
With the help of big data analysis technology, enterprises can accurately predict the demand for goods based on historical sales data and market trends, reasonably adjust inventory levels, and avoid inventory overhang or stock shortages. At the same time, according to the frequency of the goods in and out of the warehouse, the storage location of the goods is intelligently adjusted, and the high-frequency goods are placed in the area that is easy to take and put, further improving the efficiency of the operation. For example, the intelligent storage system built by Lanjian Intelligent for many enterprises helps enterprises optimize the allocation of storage resources, reduce operating costs, and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises in the market through data-driven intelligent management.
Help industry change and innovate business models
The wide application of intelligent storage robots has not only changed the internal operation mode of storage enterprises, but also promoted the innovation of the business model of the entire storage industry. Some warehousing enterprises rely on the advantages of intelligent warehousing robots to carry out warehousing service outsourcing business, providing efficient, accurate and customized warehousing solutions for other enterprises, reducing the difficulty and cost of warehousing management for customer enterprises.
Under the trend of integrated development of manufacturing and e-commerce industries, intelligent storage robots have promoted the collaboration of upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. In intelligent manufacturing factories, robots can accurately and timely distribute parts according to the material needs of the production line to ensure the continuity of production. In the field of e-commerce, intelligent warehousing robots collaborate efficiently with logistics and distribution systems to achieve rapid order processing and distribution, improve the efficiency of the entire supply chain, and provide strong support for new business models.
Intelligent storage robots, as the core force reshaping the storage pattern, are profoundly changing the face of the storage industry from multiple dimensions such as efficiency, accuracy, space utilization, management mode and business model. Although it faces challenges such as cost and technical stability in the promotion and application process, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the deepening of industry practice, intelligent storage robots will play a more critical role in the storage field, leading the storage industry to a new era of more intelligent, efficient and innovative, and promoting the global logistics industry to achieve leapfrog development.
