Logistics And Warehousing

Application in the logistics and warehousing field

1.Application of robotic arm in logistics and warehousing

Cargo sorting: the mechanical arm can quickly grab the goods from the conveyor belt according to the shape, size, weight, destination and other information of the goods, and place them on the corresponding sorting area or shelf. For example, in the e-commerce logistics warehouse, facing a large number of different types of goods, the mechanical arm can be efficiently classified, which greatly improves the sorting speed and accuracy, and reduces the error rate of manual sorting.

Cargo stacking: In the storage link, the mechanical arm can stack the goods neatly on the tray, forming a stable cargo stack. It can accurately control the position of the goods according to the preset palletizing mode, such as staggered and overlapping type, make full use of the storage space, and ensure the stability of the goods in the storage and transportation process.

2. Application of linear module in the field of logistics and warehousing

Cargo transmission: The linear module can be used as an important part of the logistics transmission line, driving the goods to move smoothly and accurately on the conveyor belt. For example, in the warehousing and outbound delivery system of the automated warehouse, the linear module can control the start-stop, speed and direction of the conveyor belt to ensure that the goods can be accurately transmitted between the various working areas, such as from the receiving area to the storage area, or from the storage area to the delivery area.

Shelf access equipment driver: In an automated stereoscopic warehouse, linear modules are used to drive the vertical and horizontal movement of the shelf access equipment (such as a stacker). It can accurately control the stacker to move in the roadway of the shelf, and accurately store the goods in the designated cargo location, or remove the goods from the cargo space, to achieve efficient storage management.

3.Application of PLC in the logistics and warehousing field

System automation control: PLC is the core controller of logistics and warehousing automation system. It can control the coordination of various equipment in the warehouse, such as conveyor, sorting machine, stacker and other equipment. For example, PLC can control the warehousing process of goods according to the instructions of the warehouse management system, first start the conveyor to transport the goods to the designated location, then command the sorting machine to sort, and finally drive the stacker to store the goods on the shelf.

Inventory management and monitoring: The PLC can be combined with the inventory management system to monitor the storage location and quantity of goods in real time. By connecting various sensors, such as cargo space sensors, weight sensors, etc., it can accurately record the entry and exit of goods, and timely alarm in case of insufficient inventory or equipment failure, to ensure the normal operation of the storage and logistics system.
