Analysis of development advantages of automated logistics industry
The main features of automated logistics systems are fast, efficient and reasonable storage of materials and timely and accurate provision of required items. Compared with traditional logistics systems, the advantages of automated logistics systems are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
(1) Improve the efficiency and accuracy of production and distribution
The automated logistics system uses advanced information management systems, automated material storage, sorting and handling equipment, etc., to enable automatic access and sorting of goods in the warehouse as needed. In the industrial production process, the automated logistics system is directly connected to the production line. According to production needs, materials are automatically output to the production line at the designated time to meet the raw materials required for production at any time, so that the supply quantity of raw materials and the quantity required for production can reach an optimal level. Value, improve the production efficiency of enterprises; by using advanced identification technology and information processing technology, materials can be effectively managed, ensuring the accuracy of feeding, and at the same time, the flow of goods can be accurately tracked. In the commercial distribution process, the automated logistics system automatically arranges delivery and delivery based on the received order information. By using automatic picking technology, electronic label technology, barcode technology, etc., the efficiency and accuracy of sorting and distribution can be greatly improved.
(2) Realize enterprise information integration
Logistics informatization is an important part of enterprise informatization. The logistics information management system realizes automatic transmission and reception of information between various systems of the enterprise by seamlessly connecting with other management systems of the enterprise, enabling the enterprise to achieve information integration and avoid the logistics system becoming a "Information island" plans, controls and tracks the entire process of supply, production and marketing. During the production process, the automated logistics system collects all the most basic logistics information in the enterprise's production process in real time, and continuously summarizes it upwards to form an information flow that can guide the enterprise's procurement and production.
During the sales process, the automated logistics system can automatically obtain order information from other management systems and process it, ensuring rapid information acquisition and timely processing; it can effectively bundle the business connections between distribution, warehousing, and sales, through real-time control of each business terminal. , timely, accurately and efficiently summarize distribution needs and carry out stocking and distribution, and automatically generate procurement data based on demand with reference to inventory data or notify the production workshop to organize production.
(3) Improve space utilization and reduce land costs
The automated logistics system uses high-rise shelves to store goods. The storage area can be developed to high altitudes, reducing the inventory footprint and improving storage space utilization and storage capacity. At present, the height of the world's tallest automated three-dimensional warehouse has reached 50m. The storage capacity per unit area of the shelf area of the three-dimensional warehouse can reach 7.5t/m2, which is 5-10 times that of traditional ordinary warehouses. Compared with traditional ordinary warehouses, it can save 40%. -70% of the floor space can significantly reduce land costs.
(4) Reduce labor requirements and reduce labor costs
Automated logistics systems can reduce the need for labor, reduce labor intensity, and improve labor efficiency. For example: the automated logistics system can save more than 2/3 of the warehousing and logistics personnel required when storing goods of the same tonnage.
(5) Improve the level of logistics management
The automated logistics system can comprehensively control and manage inventory operations such as storage, storage, transfer, and inventory. It not only reflects the entire process of purchasing, selling, and inventory of items, but also can conduct real-time analysis and control of items, providing enterprise management It provides the basis for users to make correct decisions, balances all aspects of enterprise production, storage, and sales, reduces inventory to the optimal storage amount, greatly improves the speed and utilization of funds, and reduces inventory costs; through the use of satellite positioning systems and other technologies, materials can be Optimize transportation routes and monitor materials in transit in real time to ensure the safety of materials.
In addition, automated logistics systems also have the advantage of being able to better adapt to the operating needs of special logistics environments such as darkness, poisonous, and low temperatures.
Therefore, from the aspects of logistics efficiency and management level, space utilization, labor cost, etc., it can be seen that the automated logistics system has obvious advantages compared with the traditional logistics system.
