    Automated warehouses are referred to as warehouses for short. Generally, it refers to a warehouse that uses several, ten, or even dozens of high-shelf storage units, and uses corresponding material handling equipment for warehousing and outbound operations. Because this kind of warehouse can make full use of space to store goods, it is called a three-dimensional warehouse.

    Automated warehouses are an important part of the rapid development of modern logistics systems. It has many advantages such as saving land, reducing labor intensity, eliminating errors, improving warehouse automation and management, improving the quality of management and operators, reducing storage and transportation losses, effectively reducing backlogs of circulating funds, and improving logistics efficiency. The automated three-dimensional warehouse is closely connected with the factory-level computer management information system and the production line, and is an indispensable key link for CIMS and FMS.

    The automated three-dimensional warehouse is a complex automation system, consisting of three-dimensional racks, tracked lane stackers, pallet conveying systems in and out of the warehouse, size detection barcode reading systems, communication systems, automatic control systems, computer monitoring systems, computer management systems, and Other auxiliary equipment such as wires, cables, bridges, power distribution cabinets, pallets, adjustment platforms, steel structure platforms, etc. Using the first-class comprehensive logistics concept, using advanced control, bus, communication and information technology, through the collaborative work of the above equipment, the designated goods can be automatically, orderly, quickly, accurately and efficiently moved into and out of the warehouse according to the needs of users.

Several characteristics of automated warehouse storage system:

First, save the floor space of the warehouse and make full use of the warehouse space. As the automated three-dimensional warehouse uses large-scale storage rack assembly, automated management technology makes the goods easy to find. The construction of automated three-dimensional warehouses occupies a smaller area than traditional warehouses, but the space utilization rate is larger. In developed countries, improving the space utilization rate has become an important indicator to measure the rationality and advancement of the system. Nowadays, with the advancement of energy conservation and environmental protection, automated warehousing has a good effect in saving land resources, and it is also a major trend in the development of warehousing in the future.

Second, automated management improves the management level of the warehouse. The automated three-dimensional warehouse uses computers to accurately manage the information of the goods, which reduces the errors that may occur in the storage of the goods and improves the work efficiency. At the same time, the automated three-dimensional warehouse realizes the motorization of the transportation of goods in and out of the warehouse, which is safe and reliable, and reduces the rate of damage to the goods. It can also provide a good storage environment for items with special environmental requirements through special design, such as toxic and explosive items, and can also reduce the injuries that people may cause when transporting items.

Third, automated warehouses can form an advanced production chain and promote productivity improvements. Professionals pointed out that the high storage and retrieval efficiency of the Guangzhou automated three-dimensional warehouse can effectively connect the production links outside the warehouse and form an automated logistics system in the warehouse, thereby forming a planned and orderly production chain and greatly improving production capacity.
