With the continuous development of the warehousing and logistics industry, it has gradually moved to the unmanned, automatic and intelligent mode, and the use demand of major enterprise users is also increasing. For the warehousing industry, the box type four-way shuttle car has also been put into use by various small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a transport robot with high space utilization and flexible configuration. It breaks the design concept of the stacker model in the conventional three-dimensional warehouse. Such a robot greatly improves the space utilization and access efficiency. It can also save manpower, facilitate the expansion of the system, and is widely used in the market. Therefore, the quotation for the four-way shuttle system of the bin must be a topic of concern for every enterprise. But before you want to know the quotation of the bin type four-way shuttle system, let’s first learn some characteristics, scenarios and work processes of the bin type four-way shuttle!
In recent years, the box type four-way shuttle car project developed, produced and manufactured by HEGERLS has been successfully applied in all walks of life. HEGERLS is an independent brand of Hebei Walker Metal Products Co., Ltd., which started in 1996 and is an early company engaged in the warehousing industry in North China. In 1998, he began to participate in the sales and installation of warehousing and logistics equipment. After more than 20 years of development, it has become a one-stop integrated service provider integrating warehousing and logistics project design, equipment and facilities production, sales, integration, installation, commissioning, warehouse management personnel training, after-sales service, etc! The existing independent brand HEGERLS has set up production bases in Shijiazhuang and Xingtai with headquarters, and sales branches in Bangkok, Jiangsu Kunshan and Shenyang, Thailand. Its series of products and services cover nearly 30 provinces, cities and autonomous regions in China. Its products are exported to Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions, and has made remarkable achievements overseas.
Of course, the HEGERLS box type four-way shuttle also has its own unique characteristics. For example, from the shelf, track, positioning, communication, power supply, maintenance and other aspects, it is different from the box type four-way shuttle car of other storage shelf manufacturers! The details are as follows:
Racks and rails
Compared with the traditional stereo storage system, the shuttle car system has the biggest change of shelves. All the paths that the trolley passes through need to be paved with rails. At the turning point, there should also be a special adapter plate, and each trolley needs to have a charging point. This is the characteristic of the HEGERLS box four-way shuttle car. Its box type four-way shuttle car system also has a very high processing accuracy and installation accuracy for the shelf compared with the traditional shelf.
positioning system
The positioning of the box type four-way shuttle generally adopts barcode and end switch for precise positioning, and the positioning accuracy is required to be within 3mm.
Communication technology
How to achieve communication in a dense shelf requires some experience and skills. Therefore, the selection of antenna and communication technology is particularly important for the stability of the shelf project of the box type four-way shuttle truck.
Power supply equipment
For the bin type four-way shuttle, the capacitor+lithium battery mode is generally adopted. The capacitor needs to ensure that one charge can complete the farthest operation. Of course, there will be a big difference in the configuration of the vehicle. The longer the path, the larger the capacitor required. The battery is only a device for auxiliary power supply, which can avoid the failure caused by power failure or low voltage during the operation of the trolley.
Control system
The HEGERLS box type four-way shuttle car is controlled by PLC, which is relatively expensive.
Maintenance
Generally speaking, the maintenance in the rack is avoided as far as possible for the bin type four-way shuttle, which also takes into account the safety of the staff.
The HEGERLS box type four-way shuttle car can carry dozens of kilograms of box type goods. Compared with the structure and control mode of the pallet four-way shuttle car, it is basically similar. The main difference is the design details and application scenarios. The bin type four-way shuttle can be used in irregular warehouses with large length width ratio, or warehouses with large or small warehousing efficiency. It has higher flexibility. At the same time, the bin type four-way shuttle can also be used in high-density shelves, which enables arbitrary shuttle and flexible adjustment. Moreover, the box type four-way shuttle is also applicable to the storage and picking of cases in e-commerce (mainly 3C) and supermarket. It is mainly used for buffering and sorting after picking. In the case of a very large number of orders, such as a large e-commerce warehouse, it can handle millions of orders every day. Therefore, such a solution is more suitable for caching and sorting for order consolidation, and its cost is relatively low.
HEGERLS provides solutions for the application scenarios of the four way shuttle car system in the bin:
1) The approximate proportional relationship of the picking box conveyor line (1000 boxes/hour)/picking workbench/turnover box elevator is: 1: (2/3/4): 4. The elevator will generally become the bottleneck.
2) Picking workbench: it can be designed according to 100~400 boxes/hour (related to the convenience of material picking, the quantity of duplicates, and whether there is value-added processing).
3) Application scenarios with large picking volume: For example, if the flow of turnover box exceeds 1000 cases/hour, HEGERLS recommends using the turnover box elevator scheme.
4) Application scenarios with small picking volume: For example, if the flow of turnover box is less than 200 cases/hour, the solution given by HEGERLS is to select a layer changing elevator for operation, which can save the investment cost of the enterprise.
How does the HEGERLS box type four-way shuttle operate in the warehouse?
1） Cargo handling
It should be known that the four-way shuttle can travel in four directions within the shelf according to the task path, access and transport goods to the conveyor in front of the warehouse, and then move up and down in the vertical direction of the conveyor in front of the warehouse by the high-speed composite elevator to connect and transport goods to the ground system or other connecting equipment.
2） Layer change operation
Generally, the four-way shuttle will drive into the high-speed composite hoist according to the system command, and then conduct the layer change operation. Then, the high-speed hoist will carry the four-way shuttle again, and vertically operate up and down to switch the operation layer.
In fact, it is not difficult to find that there are very strict requirements for the box type four-way shuttle from its own characteristics, application scenarios, and operation processes. As for the quotation of the bin four-way shuttle car system, it still needs to be determined according to the site of the enterprise warehouse, the actual application, and the equipment related to the bin four-way shuttle car (shelves, rails, elevators, conveying systems, communication systems, charging systems, management, monitoring, scheduling and control software systems and other components).
