Automated Warehouse System

Automated warehouse system are the most efficient intelligent solutions available today. With the development of AI technology, robots are increasingly being applied, especially in automated warehouse racking systems. So, what is an automatic warehouse racking system? What high-quality automatic racking system products are available?

Introduction to automated storage racking system

Automated storage racking is a system for storing goods in a automated warehouse. It includes storage racks combined with automation technology and robots to optimize the management and movement of goods.

Instead of relying on manual labor, this system uses devices such as robots, conveyors, or autonomous vehicles (AGV, AMR robots) to automate the tasks of loading and unloading goods.

Three Types of Automatic Warehouse Racking Systems

1. Automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS system)

ASRS storage system is an automated storage and retrieval system. An ASRS automatic racking system consists of:

• Steel Racks: These are the storage racks where goods are stored.
• Robots: Transport goods within the system.
• Automated Conveyor System
• Automated Crane System
• Automated Control System: Controlled by a computer, which can be integrated with warehouse and inventory management software.

2. Mobile Rack

Mobile rack is a system of steel storage racks with mobile bases mounted on wheels combined with a guiding rail system fixed to the floor. Instead of being fixed in position like conventional racks, the racks in a Mobile Rack system can move along the guiding rails. This allows you to close the racks together when an aisle is not needed and open a single aisle when access to goods is required.

Workers are controlling the opening/closing of aisles between the racks to load/unload goods in a cold storage facility.

Mobile racks can utilize over 90% of warehouse space for storing goods.

3. Shuttle Rack

Shuttle racks are semi-automated storage racks, combining steel racks with shuttle robots. This storage system speeds up the loading and unloading process within the warehouse while ensuring greater safety by eliminating the need for forklifts to move deep into the racking aisles.

The Shuttle Wifi Rack is currently the most popular product. Eurorack's Shuttle Wifi is an upgraded version of the traditional radio shuttle racks. The improvements in Eurorack's Shuttle Wifi enhance processing speed and ensure safety, even in dusty or cold storage environments. Continuous loading and unloading help triple operational efficiency. Additionally, you can view daily pallet entry/exit statistics, aiding in comprehensive warehouse management.

Robot and Conveyor for Automated Warehouses

To ensure optimal operation of an automated warehouse, in addition to the racking system and shuttle robots, other supporting equipment is also essential. Notable examples include the following types of autonomous vehicles and conveyors:

AGV Robot

AGV (Automated Guided Vehicles) are autonomous vehicles widely used in warehouses. AGV robots can move along pre-set routes to transport goods without human intervention. AGV robots rely on guidance technologies such as:

• Magnetic Guidance
• Optical Guidance
• Laser Guidance
• GPS or Virtual Map Guidance

AMR Robot

AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) is also a type of mobile robot or autonomous vehicle in warehouses. AMR robots can move independently and more flexibly than AGV robots because AMR does not require fixed routes. AMR robots use advanced technologies such as sensors, AI, etc.

Conveyors

Automated conveyors are indispensable for the smooth operation of an automated warehouse racking system. The conveyor system plays a role in automatically transferring goods between different areas within the warehouse. Conveyors are often combined with other automation technologies such as robotic arms, shuttle robots, stacker cranes, AGV, AMR robots, and professional warehouse management systems (WMS).

Why Invest in Automated Warehouse Racking Systems?

Automated storage racking system is the most intelligent and efficient storage solution available today. The integration of technology and management brings significant benefits to businesses. From supervision, coordination, and management of statistics to the allocation of activities in warehouses and factories, everything is done more simply and thoroughly. This is particularly beneficial in fields such as logistics, manufacturing, e-commerce, and retail.

Here are 6 Excellent Benefits of Automated Storage Systems:

Optimize Storage Space: Automated racking systems are designed with storage racks placed close together, eliminating the need for wide aisles like traditional racks. This allows for maximum optimization of warehouse floor space and storage density.

Safety and Accuracy: Automated racking systems operate with high accuracy, reducing errors in storage and retrieval while minimizing the risk of workplace accidents and damage to goods.

Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Automated racking systems reduce the time needed to search for and retrieve goods, thereby speeding up order processing and improving labor productivity.

Reduced Labor Costs: Automating warehouse processes reduces reliance on manual labor, saving on labor costs and minimizing the risk of errors.

Flexibility and Easy Expansion: When upgrades or changes are needed to meet business demands, you can easily make adjustments without significant infrastructure changes.

Improved Warehouse Management: Integration with warehouse management software (WMS) enables accurate inventory tracking. The process is also optimized for fast and efficient transportation.
