The AS/RS System consists of assembly racking and welding racking. Comple-mented by passage stackers, conveyan-ce system and computer control system, it guarantees the fullest space utilization, handing mechanization and storage management modernization.
Structure:
Commonly referred to as an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS), this complex automation system consists of multi-dimensional shelving, rail-guided stacker cranes, in-and-out pallet conveyor systems, dimension checking and barcode reading systems, communication systems, automatic control systems, computer monitoring systems, computer management systems, and other auxiliary equipment such as electrical cable trays, distribution cabinets, pallets, adjustment platforms, and steel structural platforms. Incorporating top-tier integrated logistics concepts and utilizing advanced control, bus, communication, and information technologies, the system coordinates the activities of these components to automatically, orderly, rapidly, and accurately handle the storage and retrieval of goods as per user requirements.
Shelving Types:
The racks used within automated warehouses are typically beam-type or cantilever-type racks, mostly fully assembled with some being welded structures, and a few integrated with the building structure. These shelving systems generally use pallets or containers as carriers, with pallets usually made of steel or plastic to ensure high load capacity and rigidity. If pallet loads are smaller, or if the goods themselves are strong and rigid, beams may be omitted, and pallets, plastic crates, or goods may be placed directly on the cantilever supports. Automated storage racks require high manufacturing and installation precision, far exceeding the standards for typical racking systems. The main components must be produced on high-precision continuous punching and rolling production lines, demanding high standards for equipment and manufacturing processes.
Surface Treatment:
The system is treated with superior-grade epoxy resin electrostatic powder coating, providing strong adhesion, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and an aesthetic appearance. It complies with the national GB6739-2006 standard, ensuring high surface quality and smoothness.
Usage:
The industries that primarily utilize this type of storage include machinery, pharmaceuticals, IT, metallurgy, military, chemical, aerospace, electronics, food processing, tobacco, home appliances, printing, distribution centers, airports, ports, and rail transit.
Advantages:
Automated high-bay warehouses are a rapidly developing crucial component of modern logistics systems, offering numerous benefits such as land-use efficiency, reduced labor intensity, error elimination, enhanced storage automation and management levels, improved staff quality, reduced storage and transportation losses, effective reduction in working capital, and improved logistics efficiency. Integrated with factory-level computer management information systems and closely connected to production lines, automated high-bay warehouses are essential elements of today's Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems (CIMS) and Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS).
