What are the equipment required for logistics distribution centers?

Pallet is the most widely used logistics equipment, but also the most easily ignored, many distribution centers operating efficiency is because of the improper selection of pallets and affected. In the selection of pallets, the main should determine the pallet material, specifications, load, is a one-time use or multiple use, as well as whether only in the distribution center within the circulation. In terms of load bearing, all types of material pallets can meet the requirements. Paper, plastic wood, plywood and other composite pallets have a wide price range. The characteristics of the stored goods determine the pallet material, some goods do not allow any volatile substances, you can choose a steel pallet; some goods are easy to mold, it is best to choose a plastic pallet. Table 2 is a comparison of the characteristics of commonly used pallets.

2, crates

There are mainly two kinds of plastic and paper, of which, plastic crates are most widely used. In the selection, in addition to the size of the crate, should also pay attention to whether it is oblique insertion type or standard type, with or without cover, folded or not folded. Slant inserted to save space, but the storage capacity will have an impact; folded if not used properly, easy to damage.

3, warehouse cage

Generally steel. When purchasing, pay attention to the caster material, whether it is a universal wheel, etc..

Buy pallets, crates, parts boxes, but also pay attention to the location of the bar code labeling paste. Some can also be implanted RFID tags to the inside.

4, shelves

Procurement of shelves, first of all, according to the results of the EIQ analysis, to determine the size of the storage unit weight, that is, the maximum length, width and height of the pallet goods, weight, the maximum length, width and height of the box goods, weight. The procurement of shelves is relatively simple and will not be analyzed in detail here.

5, auxiliary picking equipment

Currently the most commonly used picking methods are form picking (paper picking), RF picking, PTL picking, voice picking, automatic picking and so on.

RF can be used on general occasions and is the most widely used picking aid in distribution centers. The biggest drawback of handheld RF is the inability to carry goods flexibly with both hands. When purchasing RF, you should pay attention to the number of keys on the keyboard, whether there is a need for Chinese character input; to determine whether it is a long-distance scanning or short-distance scanning; whether the bar code is one-dimensional or two-dimensional; whether there is a waterproof requirement.

Car RF and finger-ring RF are more expensive and less used in China.

6, forklift

Forklift is the most widely used distribution center handling equipment, but also the distribution center of the most important handling equipment.

7, AGV. AGV in the logistics equipment belongs to the "luxury", suitable for a higher degree of automation in the distribution center, or harmful to the environment. When choosing, safety, reliability is the first consideration; followed by load, size, weight, speed and so on.

The main guidance mode of AGV is shown in Table 3, different occasions to choose a different guidance mode, in the forklift operation occasions should not choose the tape type, because the tape is easy to be damaged by the forklift tires, you can choose the electromagnetic type; the path needs to be changed frequently or the path of the complexity of the occasions can be selected laser type.

8, conveying equipment. Conveying equipment is suitable for continuous or intermittent handling of the occasion according to the specified route, palletized goods, boxes of goods and scattered goods are applicable. Selection of conveying equipment should pay attention to the following points:

A) the characteristics of the goods. Whether the shape is regular, whether fragile, whether the shape of the package is regular, size, weight, etc., these will affect the configuration of the conveyor equipment.

B) Flow rate. Flow rate directly determines the speed and efficiency of the conveying system. In addition, because the conveying system itself is a complex system, the system efficiency is the synthesis of the efficiency of each individual equipment, therefore, the efficiency of the conveying equipment should be considered comprehensively.

C) safety and stability. Conveying equipment as a modern logistics center important operating equipment, the stability of its operation is to ensure the smooth operation of the foundation. To pay attention to the conveyor equipment for the safety of people and the safety of goods protection.

No laser refraction problem, CCD scanner reads the bar code under the film's ability is stronger, CCD scanner MTBF (continuous trouble-free time) is also longer than the laser scanner. However, CCD scanners are much more expensive than laser scanners.

Considering the discontinuity that may exist during the operation of the logistics center, the efficiency of the sorting system must be appropriately enlarged relative to the demand when the equipment is configured.

9, peripheral equipment. Hydraulic platforms and sliding doors as distribution centers peripheral auxiliary equipment, distribution centers are integral parts of the entire operating equipment system. In the selection process, in addition to the need to consider and external vehicles, forklift operations, etc., the key is to combine the height of the platform.
