With the rise of the e-commerce industry, the logistics industry has become a battlefield for all kinds of capital without gunpowder. It is imperative to solve the pain points of low warehousing automation and high labor costs in the industry. Some high-tech enterprises with robotics-core logistics technology and RFID technology, have conducted in-depth research on the business of automated warehouses for many years. Actively creating new pickup methods and location strategies, and improving storage area utilization and work efficiency has been actively explored in warehouse automation. They solve the problems of secondary caching and multi-category picking in e-commerce and other industries, and further creates value for customers.

Accurate design improves warehouse operation efficiency

The automated warehouse uses a robot manipulator to use the RFID tag bin as the storage unit to perform 360° rotation sorting of goods. Compared with other storage methods, the RFID tag bin-type automatic warehouse can use containers, boxes or shelves to store small parts, which can make full use of the space height of the shelves and improve the utilization rate of storage space; the RFID tags are used on pallets and shelves. The installed RFID tags enable the robot arm to shorten the picking time of a single piece of goods, reduce the error rate, and save the time cost and labor cost of storing goods, therefore realizing higher transfer efficiency in the automated warehouse.
