1. Safeguard production process with core design
The full-color vehicle body intelligent logistics system designed by Zhongding Integration a subsidiary of NOBLELIFT Group, serves as a connecting link for BYD’s automobile production process. The whole warehouse is between painting workshop and final assembly workshop. It not only temporarily stores semi-finished full-color vehicle body for painting workshop but also ships full-color vehicle body in a real-time manner according to the order of final assembly workshop.
The unmanned logistics links keep warehouse management safe, stable, efficient and precise
Slash business cost via batch painting and economics of scale
2. Emancipate production capacity via intelligent operation and automation
The three-dimensional warehouse of full-color vehicle body, 17.2 meters in height, encompasses storage area and conveying area. The storage area consists of seven aisles, which provides seven double-column stacker cranes by Zhongding Integration, 917 storage locations and 7 maintenance locations. The conveying area contains four layers. The first layer: outbound delivery for final assembly workshop line 2; The second layer: outbound delivery for final assembly workshop line 1; The third layer: inbound delivery for painting workshop line 1; The fourth layer: inbound delivery for painting workshop line 2.
The complete system boasts high efficiency and fast speed. The Takt time is up to 120JPH.
The flexible connection between automated conveyor line and production line makes the unmanned three-dimensional warehouse and workshop available.
The eccentric rotating roller bed is used to convey and reverse vehicle body
