Background introduction
In order to continuously try to reduce manpower investment, the logistics industry in developed countries around the world is trying to improve warehousing efficiency and develop new projects. In China, companies such as SF Express, JD.com, Amazon, and Alibaba have also taken measures to achieve a strategic layout of "artificial intelligence+express delivery". The fully automatic intelligent logistics sorting equipment can save 50% in labor costs and more than three times in time costs.
The obvious advantage of adopting mechanized production is that it will greatly improve the efficiency of the production process, and using machine sorting, scanning, and warehousing will greatly reduce the investment of manpower. In a complete automated logistics and warehousing system, the sorting system is the key core of logistics automation.
Automatic sorting systems generally consist of control devices, sorting devices, conveying devices, and sorting gates
1. The function of the control device is to recognize, receive, and process sorting signals, and instruct the classification device to automatically classify goods according to the requirements of the sorting signals, by product variety, by delivery location, or by the category of the shipper. These sorting requirements can be inputted into the sorting control system through various methods, such as barcode scanning, color code scanning, keyboard input, weight detection, voice recognition, height detection, and shape recognition. Based on the judgment of these sorting signals, it is determined which sorting gate a certain product should enter.
2. The function of the sorting device is to, based on the sorting instructions issued by the control device, when goods with the same sorting signal pass through the device, the device will act to change the direction of operation on the conveyor and enter other conveyors or sorting gates. There are many types of classification devices, generally including push out, floating, tilting, and branching types. Different devices have different requirements for sorting the packaging materials, packaging weight, and smoothness of the bottom surface of the packaging materials.
3. The main component of the conveying device is the conveyor belt or conveyor, which is mainly used to pass the sorted goods through the control device and classification device, and to connect several sorting gates on both sides of the conveying device, so that the sorted goods can slide down the main conveyor (or main conveyor belt) for subsequent operations.
4. The sorting gate is a passage for sorted goods to leave the main conveyor (or main conveyor belt) and enter the cargo collection area. It is generally composed of steel belts, belts, rollers, etc., which make the goods slide from the main conveyor device to the cargo collection platform. There, the staff will collect all the goods at the gate and either store them in the warehouse or assemble them into loading vehicles for distribution operations.
The above four devices are connected together through a computer network, and together with manual control and corresponding manual processing, form a complete automatic sorting system.
The automatic sorting system can continuously and massively sort goods without being limited by climate, time, human physical strength, etc., greatly improving work efficiency and logistics costs. In addition to hardware support, such a powerful logistics sorting system also requires embedded industrial computer hardware products with strong performance, durability, stability, and high precision to assist the entire logistics sorting system.
Characteristics of Lihaojie Industrial Control Computer in Intelligent Logistics Sorting System
1. Support multi touch, making touch more agile and smooth. The system adopts cutting-edge technology, and the response speed for large capacity data queries is also at your fingertips, without the need to wait, truly achieving the speed of "galloping"
