1. Project Background

Customer Requirements: A well-known automotive parts manufacturer needed to build a smart Automated Storage and Retrieval System to meet the following requirements:

Storage Requirements: Over 5,000 SKUs (including engines, transmissions, body parts, and electronic components), supporting mixed storage of heavy items (500kg engines) and precision items (chips, sensors);

Efficiency Goals: Average daily order processing of 15,000 orders, with a peak throughput of 30,000 boxes per day;

Compliance Requirements: Rust and moisture prevention (for metal parts), static electricity prevention (for electronic components), and compliance with the IATF 16949 quality management system;

Cost Optimization: Reduce reliance on manual labor and lower the goods damage rate to below 0.2%.

2. Technical Highlights

Precision Component Protection Design:

The four-way shuttle cart forks are equipped with vacuum suction devices, suitable for fragile components such as chips and sensors;

The shelves in the temperature-controlled zone are coated with an anti-static coating (surface resistance ≤ 1×10⁶Ω) to prevent static discharge damage to electronic components.

Heavy-Load Equipment Stability:

The forks of the stacker crane are constructed with box-type steel structures (thickness ≥ 12 mm), capable of bearing loads up to 5 tons, with vibration sensors monitoring the handling process in real time;

Engine storage area shelves are fitted with anti-slip rubber pads + elastic limiters.

Efficient sorting strategy:

WMS consolidates order categories into batches (e.g., engine + transmission combination orders) to reduce shuttle cart movement frequency;

AGVs operate in relay mode, improving cross-zone transportation efficiency by 50%.
