What are the advantages of an intelligent stereo storage system over a traditional flat warehouse?

As the transformation of manufacturing is accelerating, more and more firms are planning to build an intelligent stereo storage system. But many business managers will ask: What are the advantages of an intelligent stereo storage system over a traditional flat warehouse? The value is not worth investing?

I. Significant increase in space utilization and savings in plant land costs

Traditional flat warehouses are restricted to artificial access heights, with general shelf heights of 3 to 5 metres, and a large amount of vertical space is wasted. Smart stereo storage systems can build 6 to 30 metres of high-rise shelf space, making full use of the vertical space of the plant, and store volumes can increase by three to five times the size of traditional flat warehouses.

II. Full-scale unmanned operations, significantly reducing labour costs

Traditional flat storage requires a large number of warehouse operators, forklift drivers, porters, manual access, inventory, and migration operations, which are costly, difficult to manage, and pose a risk to the safety of people. The smart stereo storage system replaces manual access operations with automated equipment such as stacker cranes, shuttles, transport lines, etc., which can support 7x24 hours of uninterrupted operation, significantly reduce the volume of warehousing and handling manual inputs.

Digital control, accuracy and traceability of stocks

Traditional flat warehouses rely on manual billing management, inventory data updating is delayed, with low accuracy, and are prone to discrepancies, material obsolescence, and batch confusion. The smart automated high-bay warehouse system, complemented by WMS (storage management system) and WCS (equipment control system), automatically records the time of entry, inventory location, access to the warehouse for each batch of material, supports such functions as first-in, batch tracking, early warning, automatic inventory count, etc., real-time updates of inventory data, and higher levels of inventory accuracy in the industry.

IV. Efficient and stable operations and controllable operations

The efficiency of access to traditional flat warehouses is influenced by such factors as the speed of operations, forklift movements, traffic congestion, etc. The efficiency is highly volatile and the rhythm is uncontrollable. The automated warehousing storage system, through the WCS smart movement, automatically locates equipment, automatically eschews, co-operates, and access to the warehouse is stable and manageable, and can be adapted flexibly to the capacity needs. For enterprises with large volumes of continuous production, stable storage turnover is key to ensuring the continuity of the production line.

V. Multi-level fit to support non-standardization

The storage needs of different industries and different materials vary widely, and it is difficult for traditional flat warehouses to adapt to special conditions. Intelligent stereo storage systems support non-standardization, customized blast-proofing, corruption-resistant, dust-proof, hot-temperature, heavy-loading and other special conditions. For example, in the chemical industry, combustible explosive materials can use blast-resistant electrical equipment, corrosive materials can use anti-conservation shelves and components, and dust workshops can use dust-proof equipment and sealed electrical cabinets.

VI. The seamless alignment of the delivery lines and the construction of intelligent plant closed loops

Traditional flat warehouses and production lines are often disconnected, requiring manual forklifts for material transfers, which are inefficient and prone to errors. automated warehousing systems can be interfaced with production lines, smart packaging lines, industrial delivery lines, AGV systems, and enterprise ERPs, MES systems to achieve automatic supply of materials, automatic inventory repository, automatic return of inventory data, and the closing of integrated production-transmitting-packaging-entry-out smart plants.

This post is part of our special coverage Syria Protests 2011.Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems While the initial investment was relatively high, the return on investment was substantial in terms of long-term operating costs, efficiency gains, and management upgrades. It was recommended that enterprises invite professional suppliers to conduct on-site surveys and programme design at the planning stage, taking into account their actual needs assessment of the return on investment, and selecting the most suitable storage options.
