Automatic Rack

What are Automatic racks?

Automatic racks are shelves that automatically push import and export goods, designed according to modern standards, goods are moved automatically through the conveyor system, saving time, costs, labor and ensuring safety. for workers.

Currently, warehouse shelves have successfully applied automation solutions to warehouse management. Helps intelligently solve the cargo management process, one is the human resources aspect, the other is the transportation efficiency aspect. Some typical benefits when applying automatic shelves in logistics management:

• Saving maximum storage space and optimizing goods management is a top priority in every warehouse today.
• Automatic shelves are suitable for any warehouse to help optimize storage capacity and reduce working time, saving space.
• Automated racking systems provide flexible, customizable high density storage options that handle pallets efficiently.
• Helps classify and save a lot of effort in loading and unloading goods.
• Automatic shelves are designed with a variety of designs, sizes, and types to suit all different cargo loads.

Types of popular automatic racks

Automatic racking systems are the most complex type of shelves designed for warehouses, with a high level of standardization and scientific management. Below are some typical automatic racks produced at INPA:

1. Radio Shuttle rack

Radio Shuttle rack is a semi automatic goods storage system that uses robots to transfer goods on rails via remote control or a computer with wifi connection. Thanks to that, forklifts do not need to go deep inside, shortening the time to move goods and reducing the risk of collision.

Depending on each industry, the warehouse solution can use a number of robots to best meet internal freight needs. Normally, the maximum import and export capacity of a robot is 600 pallets/day. The scale and requirements of goods rotation will also be a factor in determining how many robots a warehouse needs to use effectively.

For example, if your warehouse is medium sized, you can use 2 robots for import and export activities and 1 backup robot in case of damage that needs to be replaced to avoid work interruption.

Operating process of automatic racking system:

Importing goods: The robot is placed in the first position, the forklift loads the goods onto the robot, the robot operates remotely to lift and move the pallet with goods to the desired location.

Exporting goods: The robot is controlled by remote control to run deep inside the shelf, transporting pallets of goods to the top of the shelf, the operator picks up pallets with a forklift.

2. Push Back rack

Push Back racks belong to the pallet racking group, and are one of the professional heavy goods storage racking systems. The shelf has a cascading sliding system that runs on the same track, with the track sloping slightly to one side. During the picking process, the pallet is removed and acts as a stop for the pallet behind it. When unloading, the rear pallet will automatically drift to the empty position.

Compared to conventional single shelves such as Selective rack or Double Deep rack, Push Back rack can improve goods capacity by 2 to 3 times. Specialized in storing, classifying and arranging pallets of goods neatly.

ASRS automatic racks is suitable for storing high density goods such as cold storage system, food and beverage industry. The ASRS system helps warehouses make the most of storage space and simplify loading and unloading of goods when all operations are handled completely automatically.

Regarding structural characteristics, Automatic Storage and Retrieval systems include: Iron shelf frame; Goods rotation robot and intelligent conveyor system. All operate on an automatic principle to control and intelligently import and export goods.

The ASRS system's import and export management process is simulated through the following steps:

Step 1: The robot receives control commands from a remote control device or sensor management software at the top of the shelf.

Step 2: The conveyor system supports the rotation of robots to fill each shelf line.

Step 3: Once the position of the tray is determined, the robot will lift the tray and move it further on the conveyor belts until it reaches the desired position.

Step 4: After bringing down the pallet, the robot returns to the conveyor position and continues to move the goods out.

Application of Automatic shelves in heavy industrial warehouses

Advantages when warehouses install and operate automatic racking systems:

• Pallets move through racks independently of forklifts to increase pallet throughput and reduce product damage.
• Eliminate warehouse aisles, extremely high storage density to utilize up to 80% of warehouse space.
• The efficient loading and unloading system ensures high accuracy, fast import and export speed, and saves time.
• Flexibility between two input and output methods: FIFO (First In First Out) and LIFO (Last In First Out).
• Compatible with different pallet sizes.
• Use sensors to accurately track pallets in a short period of time.
• Suitable for many popular forklift types today.
• Suitable for many types of warehouses from conventional warehouses to cold storage.
• Durable, long term use without deterioration.
• Many different sizes and capacities meet each customer's storage needs.
• Convenient and safe for employees working directly in the warehouse.

Currently, automatic shelf solutions are widely used in many industries. Typical examples are: food and beverages, cold storage, chemical industry, automobiles, electronic components, logistics centers, chemical industry. And other industries to improve work efficiency and save costs and labor.
