Factory Warehousing Safety under the Challenge of the Epidemic

In the past two years, under the influence of the epidemic and external environment, the prices of various industrial raw materials have risen, and enterprises are still short of workers.

According to feedback from a certain city in the south, equipping factories with sufficient workers has always been one of the main tasks of relevant departments over the years. Although the total population of the city has been increasing over the past decade (by 2021, it has a population of over 10 million), and manufacturing companies are constantly cutting down the number of persons employed, the labor force in in factories is still in short supply, no one wants to do heavy and tiring work, and young people born after 1995 are also unwilling to enter factories to do repetitive work.

China's industrialization process has lasted for decades, and enterprises in various industries have experienced a period of rapid development. Now, they have entered a more intense competitive state, especially in regions with rapid economic development, such as the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. The "Made in China 2025" plan aims to improve industrial structure, eliminate outdated production capacity, so that replacing labor with automatic equipment has become the ultimate goal of most enterprises.

In most manufacturing enterprises, the number of personnel in the warehousing and logistics department is the second largest, only next to the production department.The traditional management method of the warehousing and logistics department is to have workers complete their work in a fixed warehouse. As inventory and shipment quantities increase, factories need to promptly add shelves for placing items and hire more workers. When the number of shelves and workers increases to a certain extent, the error rate of workers will also increase, which leads to a decrease in work efficiency. At the same time, the impact of the epidemic has also increased the instability of staff. In order to maintain a safe working distance and personnel density, enterprises must accelerate the promotion of warehouse automation process.

In conjunction with customized software, automatic warehousing can help enterprises achieve more efficient and secure warehousing management, from the previous "finding goods by people" mode to "delivering goods to people"mode, mainly from the following aspects:

1. Automated Storage&Retrieval System(AS/RS)

2. Vertical Lift Module, Vertical Carousel Module

3. vertical sorting storage & System

4. manipulator with sorting, dismantling and stacking
