Completely unmanned warehouses? Uncovering the intelligent automated warehouses silently disrupting various industries! Is your company's warehouse still stuck in the "manual-forklift-shelf" operation mode? Common equipment in intelligent automated warehouse systems
Intelligent Automated Warehouse Also known as high-bay warehouses or automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). These warehouses typically utilize multi-tiered racking systems, sometimes reaching several dozen levels, employing automated material handling equipment for both inbound and outbound operations.
To achieve system automation, an intelligent automated warehouse requires the coordinated operation of various equipment. What equipment is commonly found in automated warehousing systems? Structurally, an automated high-bay warehouse primarily consists of the following components:
1、 High-Bay Racking
Utilizes high-bay racking to achieve storage functionality, maximizing vertical space and providing support for stacker cranes. Depending on the load-bearing unit, high-bay racking systems are categorized into pallet racking systems and tote racking systems.
2、Pallets
Devices used to carry goods, also known as work position devices.
3、Aisle-Type Stacker Crane
Also known as an aisle stacker crane, this is the most crucial handling equipment in an automated high-bay warehouse. It's a specialized crane developed alongside the emergence of high-bay warehouses, specifically designed for high-rack warehouses. It operates along tracks within the aisles of high-bay racking, performing the function of retrieving and delivering goods.
Aisle-type stacker cranes generally consist of a frame, running mechanism, lifting mechanism, fork extension mechanism, and electrical control equipment.
Aisle-type stacker cranes are mainly divided into single-column stacker cranes and double-column stacker cranes.
1> Single-Column Aisle-Type Stacker Crane
The frame of a single-column stacker crane consists of a single column and a lower crossbeam. The column is often made of large H-section steel welded together, with guides attached to the column. The overall weight is lighter, using less material, resulting in a relatively lower manufacturing cost, but with slightly less rigidity. The parameters of this equipment are shown below.
Main Performance: Warehouse height 6～24m, maximum 40m;
Running Speed: Standard type 80m/min, High-speed type 200m/min;
Lifting Height: Standard type Hmax=20m/min, High-speed type Hmax=50m/min;
Fork Extension Speed: Vmax=12m/min (Standard), 50m/min (High-speed).
2> Double-Column Aisle Stacker Crane
The frame consists of two columns, an upper crossbeam, and a lower crossbeam forming a rectangular frame. The columns can be square or round tubes; square tubes also serve as lifting guides, while round tubes require additional lifting guides.
Aisle cranes can only perform storage and retrieval operations within the aisles; goods entry and exit require supplementary handling equipment.
4、In/Out Conveyor System
Aisle-type stacker cranes can only operate within the aisles, while the entry and exit of storage units outside the aisles are handled by the in/out conveyor system. Common conveyor systems include conveyor belts, shuttle cars (RGV), automated guided vehicles (AGV), forklifts, and palletizing/depalletizing robots. The conveyor system interfaces with the aisle-type stacker crane to cooperate in handling and transporting goods.
5、Peripheral Equipment
Peripheral auxiliary equipment includes automatic identification systems, automatic sorting equipment, etc., whose role is to expand the functionality of the automated high-bay warehouse, such as extending to classification, measurement, packaging, and sorting functions.
6、Automatic Control System
The automatic control system is the core control for the execution of equipment in the entire automated high-bay warehouse system. It connects to the logistics scheduling system upwards, receiving material transfer instructions; it connects to the conveying equipment downwards, achieving the driving of the lower-level conveying equipment, detection and identification of conveyed materials; and completing the transmission of material conveying and process control information.
7、Warehouse Management System
Analyzes and manages various warehouse management information such as orders, demands, in/out, locations, non-conforming products, and inventory status. This system is the core of the fully automated high-bay warehouse system and can be networked or integrated with other systems (such as ERP systems).

Nobot was invited to attend the Belt and Road International Exchange Conference
On July 28, 2024, the 2024 Liaocheng "Belt and Road" International Exchange Conference and the Unveiling Ceremony of the Central Asia International High-end Talent Joint Training Base were held in the Liaocheng High-tech Zone University Science and Technology Park. Professor Tursunbayev Zaporotot, President of Osh Technological University of the Kyrgyz Republic and corresponding academician of the Kyrgyz Academy of Engineering, and Academician Smaylor Erta of the Kyrgyz Academy of Engineering and the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, among other experts and scholars from "Belt and Road" countries, participated in the event. Liaocheng Deputy Mayor Wang Gang and Zhang Ya, Party Secretary and Director of the Management Committee of the High-tech Zone, attended the event and delivered speeches.
This training event not only provided a valuable learning opportunity for company managers and key personnel, but also built a platform for communication and sharing. During the training, everyone actively interacted and discussed enthusiastically, exploring effective ways to improve management capabilities together. Through this training, everyone has gained rich knowledge and skills, but more importantly, it has inspired confidence and motivation for the future.
How to use a five-axis machining center efficiently? Today, let's learn a few practical steps!
When using a five-axis machining center, the equipment must first be adjusted to ensure that the workpiece and fixture dimensions precisely match, and that the zero points of each axis are accurately adjusted.
Why do composite materials require 5-axis CNC machining?
Composite materials are widely used in various fields such as aerospace, automotive, construction, energy, energy storage, infrastructure, marine, pipelines and tanks, sports and entertainment, and transportation due to their light weight, high fatigue resistance, and strong fracture resistance. Among them, aerospace and automotive industries are the largest application markets for composite materials. Five-axis CNC plays an important role in the processing of composite materials. Why do composite materials need to be processed using five-axis CNC?
Dual-station five-axis machines offer several significant advantages. First, while one station is being machined, the other can be used for material loading and unloading, ensuring continuous, non-stop machining and significantly improving production efficiency. Second, the dual-station design makes operation more convenient and reduces waiting time. However, dual-station five-axis machines typically cost more than single-station machines and may require more operating and maintenance space.
