With the continuous increase in demand for warehousing and storage by major enterprises, warehousing shelves have entered the era of intelligent automation system integration. From a single shelf storage, it has gradually developed into integrated warehousing solutions such as shelves+shuttle cars+elevators+picking systems+control software+warehouse management software, etc., such as four-way shuttle car systems, multi-layer shuttle car systems, and parent-child shuttle car systems, all of which have very broad application prospects.
Hebei Woke Metal Products Co., Ltd. is an integrated service provider that has always focused on the research and development of four-way shuttle systems, and has established its own brand, Hegerls. Among them, the HEGERLS four-way shuttle is a groundbreaking innovative logistics robot product, which breaks through the bottlenecks of autonomous scheduling, path optimization, system efficiency, space limitations, and other aspects of container access systems such as container stackers and multi-layer linear shuttle cars. It has established a certain position of Hebei Woke in the field of intelligent access solutions. Due to the linear adjustable capability of the HEGERLS four-way shuttle system, it is suitable for a wide range of industries. From the current project application of Hebei Woke, industries with low traffic but high shipping efficiency requirements, such as railway spare parts warehouses, libraries, etc; High traffic and high storage industries, such as e-commerce; As well as the increasingly demanding manufacturing line side logistics, it is very suitable to use a four-way shuttle system. At the same time, the HEGERLS four-way shuttle system can fully configure equipment according to the operating flow, without wasting equipment capacity, and the coordination between the shuttle and the hoist is also more flexible and flexible.
Unlike traditional access devices, the Hagrid HEGERLS four-way shuttle proposes the concept of an innovative vertical storage plane "layer". The key behind this innovation is the scheduling algorithm, which uses scheduling management software to assign tasks, coordinate scheduling, control path traffic, and dynamically manage the access system's vehicles. It not only solves the problem of access efficiency, but also flexibly adjusts the operation path and vehicle allocation, solving the bottleneck problem of traditional multi-layer shuttle vehicles on the elevator.
So how does the scheduling algorithm of the Hegerls four-way shuttle solve the problem of vehicle path planning and avoidance when there are multiple vehicles on the same level?
In fact, since its establishment, Hebei Woke has chosen to provide a four-way shuttle system with higher complexity and difficulty. Among them, the concept of "multiple vehicles on the same layer" in the four-way shuttle scheduling algorithm was proposed earlier. It should be noted that before the emergence of the Hegerls four-way shuttle, traditional multi-layer shuttle cars could handle high traffic demands. However, it required a small car in each floor and alley to ensure that the vehicles did not overlap or cross paths for operation. However, the problem caused by this was that there would be a large number of equipment, and the cost would also increase. Based on this, Hebei Woke proposed the concept of "multiple vehicles on the same layer" in the field of four-way shuttle scheduling to meet flexible scheduling under the premise of high traffic operations.
The concept of "multiple vehicles on the same floor" proposed by Hebei Woke breaks the original "fixed partition" mode, allowing small cars to cross to other areas with demand for operation. At the same time, the number of small cars can also be flexibly configured, with mutual substitutability between cars, and the configuration of small cars is relatively more flexible. Within the same level of shelves, there are avoidance modes for four-way shuttle vehicles in different scenarios. One is to avoid the intersection of small car paths during initial planning, and the other is an effective avoidance mode between vehicles when encountering unexpected intersections during initial planning execution.
In terms of venue adaptability, the Hegerls four-way shuttle can move in four directions, greatly increasing its flexibility to adapt to the venue. The space in some irregular venues can also be fully utilized. On the one hand, it can significantly improve space utilization, and on the other hand, in many old warehouse renovations, the Hegerls four-way shuttle has higher adaptability.
In fact, with the release of the Hegelis HEGERLS four-way shuttle, Hebei Woke has established a "3A" warehousing solution for the smart logistics field, namely AS/RS, automated three-dimensional warehousing system, and the Hegelis HEGERLS four-way shuttle system belongs to the field; AMR, Autonomous Mobile Robot; Furthermore, it is a smart logistics software platform centered on AI (HEGERLS software) technology.
