Intelligent Warehouse Stacker Crane

وصف المنتج

Intelligent warehouse stacker crane (also known as intelligent stacker, automated warehouse stacker) is one of the core equipment of modern intelligent warehousing system. It is mainly for efficient storage, handling and stacking of goods in automated warehouses (AS/RS). Stacker crane achieves high-precision, high-speed and unmanned operation through technologies such as automated control, Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), greatly improving storage efficiency and space utilization.

Core Components of Warehouse Stacking Crane

Mechanical structure

Column/guide rail: supports the vertical movement of the stacker to ensure stability.

Cargo platform: carries goods (pallets, boxes, etc.), equipped with forks or robotic arms.

Horizontal/vertical drive system: realizes X (horizontal), Y (vertical), and Z (fork extension) three-axis movement through motors and transmission devices.

Safety devices: anti-collision sensors, emergency stop buttons, limit switches, etc.

Control system

PLC/industrial computer: controls motion logic and path planning.

Servo motor: achieves precise positioning (millimeter error).

Barcode/RFID/visual recognition: automatically identifies goods and cargo locations.

Intelligent software

WMS (warehouse management system): coordinates inventory and task allocation.

Path optimization algorithm: dynamically plans the shortest access path (such as A* algorithm, genetic algorithm).

Digital twin: virtual simulation monitors equipment status.

Working Systems

Crane system: Crane positioning system, anti-sway system, human-machine interactive HMI, remote control, wireless network settings, background server and crane body control, etc.
Warehouse management system: WCS management and WMS management, code scanning device, warehouse management system software, video monitoring system, wireless and wired network system, production docking MES interface.
Warehouse area safety and warning system: safety management of the crane's working area, safety management of the ground sidewalk, safety management of the vehicle channel, indicator lights, alarms and safety isolation fences for various safety management, etc.

Technical features

Automation and intelligence
Unmanned operation, automatic storage and retrieval through system instructions.
AI predicts inventory demand and optimizes the placement of goods (such as high-frequency goods stored nearby).
High precision and high efficiency
The running speed can reach 4-5 m/s (horizontally) and 1-2 m/s (vertically).
Positioning accuracy ±1mm, supporting dense warehousing.
Flexible adaptation
Can handle a variety of carriers such as pallets, bins, cartons, etc.
Supports complex scenarios such as narrow aisles (VNA), double-deep positions, and multi-layer shuttles.
IoT integration
Real-time monitoring of equipment status (temperature, vibration, etc.) and predictive maintenance.
Linked with AGV, conveyor lines, etc. to form a fully automated logistics chain.

Application of Intelligent Stacker Crane

Large manufacturing plants
In large manufacturing plants such as automobile manufacturing and electronic equipment production, intelligent warehouse stacker crane is to store and retrieve raw materials, parts and components, and finished products. Through automated systems, it could achieve 24/7 uninterrupted operations, significantly improving production efficiency.

Cold chain logistics centers
Intelligent storage stacker cranes can operate efficiently in refrigerated or frozen environments, ensuring safe storage and rapid retrieval of temperature-sensitive items such as food and medicines while reducing energy consumption.

E-commerce distribution centers
With the development of e-commerce, order processing speed has become a key competitive advantage. Intelligent warehouse stacker crane can quickly and accurately retrieve goods from high-density shelves, support efficient order picking and packaging processes, significantly shorten order processing time, and improve customer satisfaction.

Airport baggage handling system
At busy international airports, baggage handling systems use intelligent storage stacker cranes to automatically store and retrieve passengers' luggage. This system not only improves the speed and accuracy of baggage handling, but also effectively responds to demand fluctuations during peak hours.

Pharmaceutical warehousing and distribution
The pharmaceutical industry has strict requirements for inventory management and product traceability. Intelligent warehouse stacker crane can provide precise inventory control and batch management functions to ensure the traceability and safety of drugs throughout the supply chain, in compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards.

Auto parts storage
Auto parts are of various types and shapes. Intelligent warehouse stacker crane can classify and store parts according to different specifications, quickly extracting them to meet the immediate needs of the production line and optimize supply chain management.
