Anti-Seismic Steel Structure for Automated Stereo Warehouse

Product Description

Anti-Seismic Steel Structure for Automated Stereo Warehouse
Anti-Seismic Steel Structure for Automated Stereo Warehouse

Originating in the 1960s, this system has now become a core equipment in the field of modern high-density and high-efficiency warehousing and logistics.

Core Components

  • High-Density Racking: Tall, narrow-aisle structures that maximize the use of vertical space (usually up to 20-30 meters and above).
  • Storage & Retrieval Machines (SRMs)/Stacker Cranes: Used for unit load storage and retrieval; including mini stacker cranes, shuttles for totes/cartons, etc.
  • Conveyor/Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) System: Responsible for the inbound/outbound transfer of goods between docks, workstations and SRM pick-up points.
  • Warehouse Control System (WCS) + Warehouse Management System (WMS): WCS is responsible for real-time motion control of equipment; WMS is responsible for inventory data management, order processing and system optimization.
  • Sensing & Identification System: Including barcode/RFID scanners, dimension/weight detection equipment, safety sensors, etc.

Key Advantages

  • High Space Utilization: Through vertical expansion, it can reduce the floor area by 30%-70%; the narrow-aisle or aisle-less design increases the storage density by 3-5 times compared with traditional warehouses.
  • Labour Cost Savings: Reduces manual picking and handling work, lowering labor input and the risk of work-related injuries.
  • High Accuracy and Throughput: The inventory accuracy can reach more than 99.99%; even during peak periods, it can maintain a stable operation cycle.
  • Real-Time Inventory Management: The integrated WMS provides real-time inventory data, helping to better conduct demand forecasting and order fulfillment.

Typical Workflow

1
After inbound goods are scanned and measured, the WMS assigns a storage location.
2
Conveyors/AGVs deliver the goods to the SRM's pick-up station.
3
The SRM moves vertically and horizontally to the target rack position to complete the goods storage.
4
After an outbound order is issued, the WMS locates the goods position; the SRM retrieves the goods and sends them to the shipping area or sorting area via the outbound conveyor/AGV.

Considerations for Implementation

  • High upfront investment and a long return on investment (ROI) period.
  • Standardized packaging (pallets/totes) is required, and the goods flow needs to be stable.
  • Integration with existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)/WMS systems is required.
  • Regular maintenance of mechanical and control components is required.
As a professional in the field of logistics equipment export, you may often encounter customer inquiries about configuring AS/RS systems according to their specific throughput/space constraints — customizing the system type (unit-type, mini-load type, shuttle-based type), rack height, SRM speed and WMS integration solution is the key to providing a cost-effective solution.

Automated Storage and Retrieval System AS/WS Racking Systems

AS/WS Racking Systems are the core storage structures of automated warehouses. Composed of high-rise steel structural racks + stackers/cranes + conveyor systems + WMS/WCS control systems, they expand storage space vertically to realize automated access, digital management, and unmanned operations. They are the standard configuration for modern factories and logistics centers to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Core Product Types & Application Scenarios

  • 1. Pallet AS/RS (Stacker Crane System): Suitable for full-pallet bulk goods, heavy materials, finished/raw materials in manufacturing. Height up to 10–40m, load capacity 1–5 tons per pallet.
  • 2. Shuttle Car System: Suitable for high-density storage, large-volume few-SKU goods, and cold storage. Space utilization increased by 60%–200%.
  • 3. Mini-load System (Bin Storage): Suitable for small parts/accessories, multi-SKU goods, and goods-to-person picking. High speed and precision.
  • 4. Customized Special Racking: Explosion-proof structures, low-temperature resistant racks for cold chains, and special-shaped racking for PV modules or pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the primary space advantages of using an AS/RS layout?
AS/RS systems utilize vertical warehouse capacity up to 20-40 meters, reducing the overall footprint by 30% to 70%. Its narrow-aisle configuration increases warehouse storage density by 3 to 5 times compared with traditional ground racking systems.
Q2: How does the Shuttle Car System differ from the Pallet AS/RS?
The Pallet AS/RS utilizes high-rise stacker cranes running on fixed lanes for heavy unit-loads (1-5 tons). The Shuttle Car System is optimized for high-density, low-SKU bulk goods and works exceptionally well in cold storage facilities where maximizing storage volume and cold containment is critical.
Q3: Are AS/RS installations compatible with low-temperature or hazardous chemical storage?
Yes. Special configurations are customizable, including low-temperature/corrosion-resistant materials for cold chain pharmaceutical storage (-25℃) and explosion-proof structures designed for hazardous chemical storage compliance.
Q4: What raw materials and manufacturing standards are utilized in these racking units?
The system relies on premium high-quality Q235 and Q355 cold-rolled steel structures. Combined with automated stamping, CNC bending, and powder-coating treatments, the structures meet rigorous ISO standard inspection requirements with a 10-year durability target.
Q5: How are the steel rack units protected during international transport?
All steel elements are packaged on export pallets with cardboard dividers to prevent friction scratches, secured tightly via high-strength steel bands, and completely wrapped in moisture-resistant stretch film. This ensures absolute protection during container shipping and loading.
Q6: What software integration is required for operating the automated warehouse?
The operations require a Warehouse Management System (WMS) for handling data, batch tracking, and order optimization, coupled with a Warehouse Control System (WCS) for real-time mechanical motion controls of stackers and AGVs. These systems integrate smoothly with existing ERP platforms.
