简体中文 Hey, do you often stare at the trolleys running around the warehouse and fret? Obviously bought the most expensive power conveyor line, how the sorting speed is still like a snail crawl? Don't worry, let's talk about something real today--If the layout of the power transmission line is not correct, even the most powerful equipment is a waste of money.I have seen too many warehouses smashed hundreds of thousands on the equipment! I've seen too many warehouses smashed hundreds of thousands on the equipment, the results of the efficiency of only 10%, injustice? The following cases of these real-life, safekeeping allows you to take the road less than three years.
A layout without planning? Be careful to become a "ghost hit the wall" warehouse
Q: Why the same roller line, people daily average sorting 50,000 orders, your home even 20,000 are struggling?
The answer is hidden in the warehouse line! Take a real case: Hebei research mountain iron ore mine open pit, the original mine card in the deep pit climbing slow, and then the conveyor line into theMulti-level foldback layout--Heavy loads go uphill on straight power supply rails, empty trucks go downhill on spirals. The result?Shipping time is cut directly by 30%, equivalent to picking up over $30 million a year for nothing!
There are just three points at the heart of the layout:
- High-flow goods must be put forward: E-commerce warehouses to pop-up SKUs all stuffed within 10 metres of the picking area, pickers less 80% wasted road
- Don't fight.Learn from the "fishbone diagram" designed by Wisers for an enterprise - the main conveyor line is like the spine of a fish leading straight to the packing area, the shelves on both sides are like fish spines angled at 45°, and the forklift trucks and picking lorries are completely diverted from each other.
- "Breathe" for the equipment: The turning radius of the roller line should be at least 1.5 times the width of the goods, otherwise the boxes will be stuck in the seam and have to be pulled out manually, a mother and baby warehouse has suffered this loss!
Second, the equipment mess with the match? Burn money and add to the traffic jam
Q: The seller always boasts how advanced his equipment is, in the end, how to choose not to step on the pit?
Remember this iron rule.It's not the most expensive that's best, it's the right one that's best!A tyre factory in Huzhou originally used a flat belt to lose tyres, and it was stuck and stopped twice a day. Changed toMulti-layer drum power line + intelligent tipping mechanismAfter, you see the effect:
| norm | pre-conversion | after conversion |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity per hour | 120 articles | 350 articles |
| Number of jams | 8 per day on average | 0 for six months |
| Site occupancy | Need 2000 square metres | Only 800 square metres |
The selection secret is here:
- small item sortingblindfoldedleather belt line: Food grade PU tape shipping box for food factories, quiet and non-slip
- pallet for heavy goodsmake sure ofSprocket rollerAutomobile factories use it to transport engines, with a single roller bearing 1 tonne without shaking.
- A cargo that's afraid of bumps.first (of multiple parts)Rubber-coated rollers: a mobile phone warehouse fell three batches of screen before enlightenment, Shore hardness of 85 ° of the rubber sleeve can shock absorption 70%
III. The system doesn't "get it"? Even faster will be in vain
Q: Why is there a backlog of orders when the equipment is running like clockwork?
Because your conveyor line is "running blind"! Look at WiseChip's trick: attaching a conveyor lineAI Dispatch BrainI can do it:
- Orders will cut themselves in line.: Urgent orders are scanned by RFID and automatically jumped to the fast lane
- Boxes refuse to stack.: Overrun cargo detected by laser altimeter and immediately diverted to the exception handling line
- Off-duty self-test without power failure: Preventive maintenance of rollers in the middle of the night with low-value electricity, the failure rate of a garment warehouse was reduced from a monthly average of 5 times to 0 times
What's even better is that3D digital twin--The physical warehouse just moved a shelf, the virtual model immediately recalculated the optimal path. It's like installing real-time navigation to the warehouse, and the order picker runs 150 kilometres less each month!
Four, man-machine with good, doubling the efficiency of the run
Q: Does more automation make workers more idle?
The opposite is true! The operation of a logistics warehouse in Guangzhou is what is called great: next to the power lineMobile workstations have been installed.The picker is standing still. Pickers stand still, the conveyor line to the box in front of the scanner gun "drop" a complete sorting. The original average daily picking 800 pieces per person, now can do 2000 pieces! The key is that people are relaxed, the turnover rate from 30% down to 5%.
Blood Lessons Early Warning::
- Do not learn a fresh warehouse to display screen hanging 3 metres high, employees tilted their heads to see the order got whiplash!
- Don't exceed 45 metres per minute or the human eye won't be able to keep up with the moving containers.
- Regularly give the staff to do "equipment touting will", assembly line workers found the jam than the engineers ten times more accurate
V. Power saving metaphysics? Staggered operation is really fragrant
Know why some warehouses charge more for electricity than your salary? Power lines are all crammed to start at peak hours! Look at the tyre factory in Huzhou's tyres: with theInverter motor + valley energy storage deviceHe is a professional energy storage company, which specialises in storing energy for the transmission line in the middle of the night when the electricity price is 30 cents. Peak electricity during the day 1 yuan 2, his home equipment by energy storage power supply, a year of electricity costs to save a BMW 3 series!
Even tougher is that wire-powered mine - grid-powered for heavy uphill loads, with kinetic energy recovery to recharge the batteries on the way down.Diesel consumption plummets from a monthly average of 90 tonnes to 32 tonnes, tailpipe emissions are directly discounted by 30%, and the EPA is giving out banners.
Having been in storage for over a decade, I can kind of see through it.Power transmission lines are not money printers, but amplifiers--Reasonable layout can magnify the benefits of ten times, layout errors will magnify the loss of ten times. Those who shouted "buy the most expensive equipment can turn" boss, and finally became the equipment provider's ATM. Remember ah, the next time you plan the warehouse first ask yourself three words: moving line will not fight? Is the equipment to do the hard work? Does the system know how to adapt? To understand these three points, your warehouse picking speed want to slow are difficult! (If you have been pitched, nag in the comments section to help newbies avoid the thunder!)
