01
Material warehouse
The warehouse is mainly for the storage and circulation of sliding doors, sofas and accessories, realizing automatic operations such as automatic inbound, outbound transfer, picking and outbound.
Transfer operation: the stacker crane in the material warehouse takes whole pallet of finished products and delivers to the bill sticking position. The pallets that need to be picked or plattered are transported to the corresponding station for picking or plattering. After the picking is completed, the pallets are conveyed automatically to the bill sticking position. After bill sticking, the pallets are transported to the finished product warehouse for subsequent storage.
Picking and outbound: the stacker crane takes the pallets and put them at the aisle entrance for delivering to the picking station by the conveyor system. The picking personnel pick the goods according to the list. After picking, the pallets are returned to the warehouse for storage. Empty pallets generated from picking are stacked by the pallet stackers and returned to warehouse.
Finished goods warehouse
The warehouse can be seamlessly connected with the production workshop for automatic inbound, cross-dock conveying, automatic outbound and loading etc.
Direct warehousing in the production workshop: The finished product inbound conveyor line is connected to the conveyor line in the production workshop. Shape detection device, barcode reading and abnormal finishing area are set up in the workshop.
Flow and transfer for inbound: the dismantling machine on the side of the flow and transfer feeding station disassembles the empty pallets and transports them to the feeding station. After the feeding is completed, the pallets are automatically transported to the aisles, and the stacker crane handles and stores the pallets to complete inbound.
Palletized storage: The warehouse keeper receives the palletized storage instructions, and selects the palletized storage operation in the WMS system. The finished products are transported to the pallet station, and automatically delivered to the aisle entrance after completion of palletized storage. The stacker crane then handles and stores the finished products to complete inbound.
Cross-dock conveying: cross-docking conveyor lines are arranged along the side of finished product warehouse, allowing out-of-sequence batches and end-of-line batches to be conveyed to the workshop for further processing.
Automatic loading system: The stacker crane takes pallets and puts them at the aisle entrance. The pallets are then conveyed to the outbound unloading station by the conveyor and directly transported to the truck compartment through the automatic loading system. After completion of unloading, the empty pallets are transported to the stacking station.
