Intelligent Manufacturing Made In China Newamstar
Nowadays, in the big picture of global economy, if
China’s manufacturing industry wants to possess stronger competitiveness, the
progress of developing technologies of logistic equipment is essential. Statistics
shows that in China, the cost of logistics occupies 18% in the whole manufacturing
costs. So logistic management and the cost control is now a fatal key of
influencing products’ competitiveness in the market, and inseparable with the benefit
of an enterprise. Meanwhile, the new economy, represented by E-business and
crowdfunding, is permeating in our daily life. The new economy has changed
fundamentally its patterns of satisfying customers’ needs, in which, it focuses
more attention on quick responses, and individualization. This requires
enterprises re-organizing the production process, and demands higher for
efficiency, flexibility and traceability. And to link the production line’s logistics
is a very important support for intelligent manufacturing.
In recent years, the application of automation is getting
vaster and vaster. Production capacity is boosting, whilst the conflict between
with storage capacity is getting more obvious everyday. Meanwhile, the land and
labor costs are increasing, which makes the monotonous and traditional
discretized storage mode，in
which available logistic equipment or staff are used to operate the transition
and transportation of products, raw and auxiliary materials, lag behind the
pace of development in this era.
To carry out in a deep way of the actions to cut the
costs, optimize the quality and speed up the efficiency of work, complete the mission
of building customers’ ideal factories, and smoothly realize the green sustainable
development of enterprise, Newamstar has been chasing for the marching paces of

Project Demands[Intelligent Manufacturing Made In China Newamstar]
According the pro-phrase program, our customer had
purchased the 24000BPH whole packaging line, the volumes of which are 350ml and
1500ml. Carton is used for packaging, whose lowest in house capacity is 10
plates per hour, the out house is 90 plates per hour, and the effective storage
capacity is no less than 2500 plates. The packaging line locates on the 2nd
floor of the workshop, and the finished cartons will be transported by spiral
conveying machine, and palletized on the 1st floor.
The height of 2nd floor is 14m. Net height
of stereoscopic warehouse installation is 12.65m. Floor area is 1600 ㎡. The stereoscopic warehouse
is linked with palletizer with conveying units, to achieve the design of delivering
out empty plates and input full plates automatically.
Project Design[Intelligent Manufacturing Made In China Newamstar]
The whole program is centering on the automatic
stereoscopic warehouse project. On the primary stage of the project design, our
company offers the two-in-one resolution plan, by referring to the needs of
customer in storage capacity, and utilizing the characteristics of the high
utility rate of shuttling garage space and the automatic access of the lateral palletizer.
The palletizers sit on the two ends of shuttling garage, to simplify the shifts
of shuttle trolleys and the access of the warehouse.
Pros: high utility rate of space; large storage capacity.
Cons: under the limitation of the site and
palletizers, the large flow of single type product ex-warehouse is hard to be
reached.
Adjustment of project[Intelligent Manufacturing Made In China Newamstar]
By repeated communication and verification with
customers, the layout of automatic stereoscopic warehouse with double stretchable
roadway was finally chosen, which balances the storage capacity and
ex-warehouse ability, by using efficient utility rate of space of this kind of design
and the collective performance of the multi-lateral-palletizers.
Introduction of the System[Intelligent Manufacturing Made In China Newamstar]
The automatic stereoscopic storage system can
automatically distribute the palletized products according to types, batches,
etc., and convey to correspondent ends of good claiming of the warehouse, under
the control of WMS storage computer management software. Meanwhile, the
operation units for claiming goods will be controlled by computers. Under the
rules of in-and-ex warehouse, the allocation and storing will be autonomous. When
execute the ex-warehouse mission, the operation units receive the commands from
the WMS, and carry out the mission der the principal of prioritizing the early
in-warehouse goods, and transfer the goods to loading section automatically.
The system integrates bar code scanning and management
parts and is connected with company’s ERP system, which is good for the comprehensive
control and monitoring of material information.
The automatic storage system mainly covers the following
units:
1.
The transit and storage of the
goods - high shelves and plates
2.
In-and-ex warehouse equipment –
pelletizers and shuttle trolleys
3.
In-and-ex warehouse allocation
system – conveying machines, RGV conveying trolley.
4.
WCS control system – all the
in-and-ex warehouse equipment, allocation system, electronic devices for inspection
and security are controlled by computer.
5.
WCS warehouse management
system – showing the conditions of resource administration, locating management,
data analysis, operation of the equipment and storage situation, connected with
ERP, and sharing the control of all materials and information.
6.
RF bar code scanning and management
system - collecting information of goods, and connected with WMS system to
arrange and gather material information.
In-warehouse Operation Procedure[Intelligent Manufacturing Made In China Newamstar]
The packed
products are transferred to palletizers by the conveying units. Palletizers
send out the empty plates commands, then the pilers take out the empty plates
from the stereoscopic warehouse, and transit to the transportation unit entrance
of empty plates by RGV trolleys.
The
empty plates are disassembled by the dismantlers, and palletized in the palletizing
area. The full plates will be sent to the transport RGV vans by wheeled and
chained conveying systems, during which, the scanning devices will scan the bar
codes of the plates. The information of plates and products will be interacted
in ERP and WMS systems.
RCV trolleys
communicate with WMS system through Wi-Fi, and are assigned with the addresses
of different in-house lateral palletizers under the control of WMS system, transported
steadily to the correspondent in-house units, under whose control, the storing
work will be undergone with the system-appointed addresses.
Ex-house Operation Procedure[Intelligent Manufacturing Made In China Newamstar]
The
ex-house operation plan is generated by the ERP system, and sent to WMS system
by Internet. After the WMS system receives the plan, internally processed, it
will optimize the ex-house efficiency and give out the ex-house command. The
lateral palletizers will follow the instruction and execute, under the situation
in which the in-house work is completed. Palletizers reach the required location,
find relevant goods automatically and transfer them to the ex-house units.
WMS
system simultaneously shows the demands of goods on the LED screen, on which
the patch code and specifications of the goods, license plate numbers can be
seen, along with the notice of the location of unloading to the drivers.
Advantages of the Project[Intelligent Manufacturing Made In China Newamstar]
The system improves the utility rate of space and the performance
of in-and-out warehouse in a limited space, which realizing the balance of storage
capacity and work efficiency. Due to the application of the direct connection
with packaging production line on the layout, the middle transition and transportation
vehicles are less needed. Through the modern Internet technologies, the sharing
and connection of data between ERP enterprise resource management systems, MES executing
systems and WMS warehouse management systems are realized, by which, less
faults are made and the whole process are speeding up. Comparing with the traditional
discrete warehouse, the new ones save a huge investment of land, reduce the
labor intensity, better the working environment, cutting the labor costs, and
eventually make the integration, automation, intelligentization of the packaging
and storage systems come true, and optimize the production effect and
modernized management level.
