AS/RS Process: Inbound-Outbound-Sorting

AS/RS is a rapid development of modern logistics system important constituent, it has the economical use of space, reduce labor intensity, eliminate errors, improve warehouse automation level and management level, improve the quality of the management and operating personnel, reduce the loss of storage and transportation, effectively reduce the liquidity of the jardine logistics efficiency, and many other advantages.So, what does automated warehouse process look like?

The process of automated three-dimensional warehouse is generally warehousing, warehousing and picking, and the whole work is carried out under the control of the computer management system:

1. Inbounding operation process

Unit of goods storage, library, by conveying system to scan the goods using barcode recognition system to read, bar code label information is read to carry people, transmitted to a central server, the control system according to the central server to return information to determine whether libraries and position coordinates, when can determine the warehousing sent with goods position coordinates of storage instructions to perform system, automatic stacker by addressing, storage of the goods to the designated goods.After the completion of the warehouse operation, the stacker returns the completion information to the control system and waits to receive the next operation command.The control system also returns the job completion information to the central server database for human database management.

2. Outbound operation process

Administrator after receiving the goods production or customer demand information, the goods according to the requirement of information input upper management machine outbound order, inventory queries on a central server will automatically, and in accordance with the fifo, uniform outbound, outbound, etc to the nearest principle for unloading generated, transmitted to the terminal control system, control system based on the current state of unloading and stacking machine, stacker operating sequence arrangement, will arrange good job commands sent to the corresponding stacker to users.The stacker will take out the goods at the designated cargo location and place them on the roadway exit platform, and return the operation completion information to the control system, waiting for the next operation.The monitoring system feeds back the finished information of the goods out of the warehouse to the central server system, and the management system updates the information of goods in the inventory database and the occupation of goods space to complete the management of the goods out of the warehouse.If all the goods on a space have been shipped out of the warehouse, the goods record is cleared from the space occupation table and the space occupation mark is cleared.

3. Sorting process

When the cargo unit picks up and leaves the warehouse, the stacking machine will take out the goods at the designated address and place them on the roadway exit platform. After the automatic guide truck picks up the goods, the goods will be sent to the sorting platform, on which the staff or the automatic sorting equipment will sort the goods according to the delivery order.After the sorting is completed, the automatic guide truck will return the goods to the entry of the roadway, and the stacker will put the goods into the warehouse or directly out of the warehouse.
