With the development of the production economy, the scale of many enterprises has rapidly expanded, product types have increased, and businesses have become more complex. Coupled with the continued rise in labor and land costs, the traditional warehousing methods cannot meet the current needs of enterprises for precise management. Therefore, Warehousing automation and intelligent transformation have become inevitable trends.
Chinese smart warehousing technology is becoming more mature, and there are currently a variety of robots and solutions on the market. Among them, the 4D shuttle automated warehouse and the shuttle and carrier system automated warehouse are high-density storage solution. They are with the same racking types and have received widespread attention. So why more and more people tend to choose 4D dense storage solutions, and what are the advantages?
The automated shuttle and carrier system uses a combination of pallet shuttles and carriers to complete operations. The carriers bring the pallet shuttles to the corresponding lane and releases them. The pallet shuttles complete the work of storing and retrieving goods alone, and then carriers receives the pallet shuttles in the main track. The 4D automated shuttle warehouse is different. Each 4D shuttle can work independently and perform layer-changing operations on the main track, sub-track and with the elevator. Therefore, it is like an improved version of the shuttle and carrier system. The 4D shuttle can operate in four directions, making transportation more flexible and more efficient. In terms of cost, shuttle and carrier system is also higher than that of automated 4D shuttle system.
The shuttle and carrier system has achieved dense storage and full automation, but its structure and composition are complex, with pallet shuttle and carriers, which results in its low safety and stability. Maintenance of this sytem is cumbersome and expensive. The 4D shuttle is like an intelligent robot. It can be connected to the WMS system using a wireless network. A 4D shuttle can complete tasks such as picking up, transporting, and placing goods. Coupled with elevator, the 4D shuttle can reach any cargo position to realize horizontally and vertically movements. Combined with WCS, WMS and other technologies, automatic control and management can be realized.
We can see that the 4D shuttle warehouse has many advantages over the automated shuttle and carrier warehouse, and it is the preferred solution for customers.
The 4D intelligent dense storage system of Nanjing 4D Intelligent Storage Equipment Co., Ltd. is mainly composed of six parts: dense shelves, 4D shuttles, conveying equipment, control systems, WMS warehouse management software, and WCS equipment scheduling software. It has five control modes: remote control, manual, semi-automatic, local automatic and online automatic, and comes with multiple safety protection and early warning functions. As an industry pioneer, our company is committed to the innovation, research, development and application of high-density storage logistics automation, informatization and integration technologies for users, providing users with equipment development and design, production and manufacturing, project implementation, personnel training and after-sales services and other one-stop services. The 4D shuttle is the core equipment of the intensive 4D intelligent warehousing system. It is completely and independently developed and produced by Nanjing 4D Intelligent Storage Equipment Co., Ltd. With the diversified development trend of the warehousing and logistics industry and the broad requirements for cost control, more and more users will choose the 4D shuttle system.
