With the deepening of the concept of Made in China 2025 and Industry 4.0, the production, equipment and logistics industries are facing a comprehensive upgrade. As one of the three core industries of Industry 4.0, intelligent logistics has also received more and more attention.
Smart logistics in people's mind, from warehousing, in the warehouse to the whole process of picking, sorting, loading without human participation, so that the warehouse has a very high efficiency and excellent flexibility. "Unmanned Warehouse" represents a brand-new third-generation logistics system technology, which makes the logistics application leap qualitatively. Its intelligence is embodied in: data perception, robot integration, algorithm guidance production.
With the deepening of the concept of Made in China 2025 and Industry 4.0, the production, equipment and logistics industries are facing a comprehensive upgrade. As one of the three core industries of Industry 4.0, intelligent logistics has also received more and more attention. Data show that from 2009 to 2014, the total cost of social logistics in China's GDP decreased from 18.1% to 16.6%, but there is still a big gap with the developed countries logistics accounted for about 10% of GDP, improve logistics efficiency, reduce costs has become a clear pursuit of enterprises.
The limbs of the unmanned cabin -- robots
From goods warehousing, storage to picking, packaging, sorting, loading links are no human participation, different forms of robots have become the leading role of unmanned warehouse, robot integration is one of the important characteristics of unmanned warehouse.
The three-dimensional shelf occupying the core position of the warehouse can make full use of space, so that the storage from "bungalow" into "building", effective utilization of precious land area. The shuttle is the key to achieve high density storage and high throughput. It runs at a high speed on the track to accurately put the material box into the storage bit or extract it, and then send it to the conveyor belt to achieve a high speed in and out of the warehouse.
Bins taken from the shelves are passed down to a robot for picking, which quickly places the goods into the appropriate boxes. This kind of dexterous and quick manipulator is a parallel robot, which has the characteristics of high precision, fast speed, good dynamic response, small working space and so on, and can reach 3600 times/hour picking speed. It uses dazzling movements to pick up goods quickly, ensuring the entire unmanned warehouse production of high efficiency.
In the unmanned warehouse, there are a large number of robots that look like "sweeper" holding the material box in an orderly and busy way. This AGV (automatic guidance car) can be guided by the two-dimensional code positioning on the ground. Combined with the scheduling of the system, it realizes the reasonable arrangement of the production of the whole warehouse. Robot-to-delivery via AGVs is more flexible than traditional delivery lines.
