As the core node of the logistics link, the logistics distribution center undertakes the key functions of goods transfer, sorting and storage. With the continuous growth of business volume, the traditional manual handling mode gradually exposes problems such as low efficiency, high labor cost, and difficult to control error rate. Automation upgrade has become the core direction of the industry. Among them, the reasonable collocation of AGV is the key link to realize the efficient and automated operation of the distribution center.
Match AGV models according to volume size
In the automation upgrade of the distribution center, it is first necessary to select the appropriate AGV model based on the average daily cargo volume. For small and medium-sized distribution centers with an average daily cargo volume of less than 5,000 pieces, the ANS15 series AGV is an ideal choice. Its size is small and flexible, and it can be adapted to narrow operation channels. It can quickly complete the pickup and transfer of small and medium-sized goods, and meet the handling needs of high frequency and small batches. For medium-sized distribution centers with an average daily cargo volume of 5,000 to 10,000 pieces, the ANS20 series AGV has moderate carrying capacity and stable battery life. It can cooperate with the sorting table to complete the transfer of batches of medium-sized goods, balancing efficiency and cost. For large-scale distribution centers with an average daily cargo volume of more than 10,000 pieces or involving the transit of heavy goods, the ANS25 series AGV can easily handle the handling needs of large and heavy goods with its outstanding heavy-duty capacity, ensuring the efficiency of the core links.
Multi-scene collaboration to improve overall performance
The operation of the distribution center covers warehousing, sorting, and outbound multiple scenarios, and the whole process needs to be automated through the coordination and matching of different types of AGVs. In the warehousing process, the ANS25 series is responsible for transferring large-scale goods from the platform to the storage area, the ANS20 series cooperates with the warehousing and sorting of medium-sized goods, and the ANS15 series handles the rapid warehousing of scattered small and medium-sized goods. The division of labor among the three is clear, shortening the warehousing waiting time. In the sorting process, the ANS15 series undertakes the high-frequency small-piece transfer between the sorting line and the temporary storage area, the ANS20 series is responsible for the sorting and distribution of batches of medium-sized goods, and the ANS25 series guarantees the sorting and circulation of heavy-duty goods, forming a sorting and handling network covering different cargo specifications. In the outbound process, the three AGVs dynamically adjust the operation rhythm according to the order type to ensure the fast performance of small and medium-sized items, the safe delivery of large items, and the overall improvement of order processing efficiency.
Adapt intelligent scheduling system to achieve accurate control
No matter which collocation scheme is adopted, it needs to be deeply adapted to the intelligent dispatching system of the distribution center. By uniformly assigning handling tasks and planning the optimal driving path through the dispatching system, AGV operation congestion can be effectively avoided and the overall running fluency can be improved. At the same time, the system can dynamically adjust the operation priority of each type of AGV according to real-time changes in cargo volume. For example, when the volume of goods surges in the peak season of promotion, the ANS20 and ANS25 series are prioritized to handle bulk goods, and the ANS15 series focuses on small-scale emergency transshipment to ensure that the distribution center always maintains an efficient operation state.
With the appropriate combination of ANS15/20/25 series AGVs, it can specifically solve the handling problems in the automation upgrade of distribution centers, help enterprises reduce labor costs, improve operational efficiency and accuracy, and help logistics distribution centers steadily transform to an intelligent and efficient direction.
