First, save warehouse area and make full use of warehouse space. Because the automatic warehouse is assembled by large storage shelves, the automatic management technology makes the goods easy to find, and the construction of the automatic warehouse occupies a smaller area than the traditional warehouse, but the space utilization rate is large. In developed countries, improving the space utilization rate has been regarded as an important index to evaluate the rationality and advancement of the system. Today, with the promotion of energy conservation and environmental protection, automated three-dimensional warehouse has a good effect on saving occupied resources, and it is also a major trend of warehousing development in the future.
Second, automated management has improved the management level of the warehouse. Automatic three-dimensional warehouse uses computer to accurately manage goods information, which reduces possible errors in storing goods and improves work efficiency. At the same time, the three-dimensional automated warehouse has realized motorization in the transportation of goods from warehouse to warehouse, and the handling work is safe and reliable, which reduces the damage rate of goods. It can also make some goods with special requirements for the environment have a good preservation environment, such as toxic and explosive goods, and reduce the possible injuries people may suffer when carrying goods.
Three, automated warehouse can form an advanced production chain and promote the progress of productivity. Professionals pointed out that due to the high access efficiency of the automated warehouse, it can effectively connect the production links in the warehouse and form an automated logistics system in the warehouse, thus forming a planned and arranged production chain, greatly improving the production capacity.
Disadvantages of automated three-dimensional warehouse
(1) has a complex structure and many supporting equipment, which requires a lot of capital construction and equipment investment.
(2) High-rise shelves need to use a lot of steel, which requires high installation accuracy, difficult construction and long construction period.
(3) Once the control system fails, the whole warehouse will be paralyzed and the receiving and dispatching operations will be interrupted.
(4) There are certain restrictions on the types of stored items, and a separate storage system must be set for large items.
(5) The quality requirements for warehouse management and technical personnel are high, and they must undergo special training to be competent.
