Grinding Material Industry – Stacker Crane Shuttle Car Vertical Warehouse

1. Project Background

Customer Requirements: A well-known manufacturer of grinding and polishing materials needed to build a smart  Automated Storage and Retrieval System to meet the following requirements:

Storage Requirements: Over 3,000 SKUs (including diamond grinding wheels, aluminum oxide grinding heads, polishing paste, etc.), supporting mixed storage of rolls, blocks, and boxes;

Efficiency Targets: Average daily order processing of 12,000 orders, with a peak throughput of 25,000 items per day;

Compliance Requirements: Prevent contamination (avoid cross-contamination between different materials), moisture-proof and static-proof (e.g., silicon carbide abrasives absorbing moisture and clumping), compliant with ISO 9001 and MSDS chemical management standards;

Cost Optimization: Reduce reliance on manual labor and lower the goods damage rate to below 0.3%.

2. Technical Highlights

Multi-form Adaptive Design:

The shuttle cart forks are equipped with a vacuum suction device, suitable for rolls (diameter 50-200 mm) and irregularly shaped abrasive materials;

The shelf panels use anti-vibration silicone pads + elastic limiters, with vibration amplitude ≤ 0.1 g.

Contamination Prevention and Environmental Control:

The polishing paste storage area is equipped with a nitrogen inerting system (oxygen concentration ≤1%), and gas leakage detectors are embedded within the shelves;

Anti-static epoxy resin-coated shelves (surface resistance ≤ 1×10⁶Ω) prevent static adhesion of dust to silicon carbide abrasives.

Efficient sorting strategy:

WMS consolidates batches by material and application (e.g.,集中 dispatching diamond grinding wheels for metal processing customer orders), reducing shuttle cart idle rates;

AGVs operate in a multi-vehicle collaboration mode, improving cross-zone transportation efficiency by 50%.
