What is an Automatic Warehouse?
An automated warehouse is a warehouse that automates a series of tasks, such as goods receipt, storage, and issue. It is attracting a great deal of attention as a means to solve the labor shortage that is becoming more serious in the logistics industry.
Automated Warehouse System Composition & Types
The deployment of systems is essential to automating warehouses:
1.Automatic warehouse system
An automated warehouse system is an automation system that centrally manages and automates the flow from goods receipt to storage and issue. Warehouses are automated by introducing stacker racks( cargo racks), stacker cranes for loading and unloading goods, control devices, inventory management equipment, etc.
There are many different types of automated warehouse systems, each with different units and shapes of goods that can be stored:
- Bucket type – A system that stores products in a rack in a small basket. Suitable for storing irregularly shaped products and parts.
- Pallet type – A system for storing products in racks in pallet units in a high-rise building. It is a system that can be stored efficiently by taking advantage of the height direction. It is also suitable for cases where existing warehouses are used and cases where automatic guided vehicles are used together.
- One-size-fits-all type – A system that can store products of various shapes and sizes, such as using trays, cardboard, and containers. It is suitable for cases where there are many types of products to handle and cases where special products are handled.
- Mobile shelf type – A system for storing products in an electric rack on a mobile trolley. Since the rack moves, it can be stored densely, so it can be used effectively in the warehouse, and it also has the advantage of being able to pick efficiently.
2.Picking system
The picking system is a generic term for systems that make picking more efficient.
The picking system using the handy terminal reads the barcode of the shipping order, picks the goods at the displayed location, reads the barcode of the goods, and matches it. As a result, picking time is shortened, and mistakes can be reduced by ensuring reliable inspection. In addition, the number of stocks is updated in real time and automatically aggregated.
Other types of picking systems include a digital picking system that looks at the digital display installed on the shelf of a product and picks, and a speech recognition system that wears a headset and picks according to voice instructions.
3.Automatic conveyance robot
Automatic conveyance robots are efficient by eliminating the work of people walking around the warehouse by moving the shelf containing the goods to be picked to the working station. When you load the shipping list, the robot carries the shelf to the working station and a person picks the necessary goods at the working station.
There are also types of automatic conveyance robots that move more efficiently through machine learning using AI.
4.Warehouse Management System (WMS)
The Warehouse Management System (WMS) is software that supports warehouse automation by centrally managing warehouse inbound and outbound, picking, inspection, inventory count, etc. It can be linked with inventory management systems and sales management systems.
