The construction of smart factories has become an important means for tire companies to enhance their competitiveness. Especially Chinese tire companies have increased their investment in the field of intelligent manufacturing, building new intelligent factories to improve production efficiency and product quality, adapt to changes in market demand, and enhance market competitiveness. Automated logistics is an important component of smart factory construction.
Automated logistics achieves the goal of improving logistics efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing service quality through automated operations and intelligent management in tire production, warehousing, transportation, and other processes.
automated storage and retrieval system
Stereoscopic warehouse: High rise shelves are used to store tires, and automatic inbound and outbound operations of goods are achieved through equipment such as stacker cranes. It can fully utilize warehouse space, increase storage density, reduce footprint, and accurately control inventory levels to achieve first in, first out of goods.
Automatic sorting system: Based on tire specifications, models, orders, and other information, automatic sorting equipment is used to quickly and accurately sort tires, greatly improving sorting efficiency and reducing the error rate of manual sorting.
Automated handling system
AGV: an automatic guided vehicle that can automatically travel along a preset path in a workshop or warehouse to complete tire handling tasks. AG has the characteristics of flexibility, efficiency, and safety. It can adjust the handling route and task allocation in real time according to production and logistics needs, reduce the labor intensity of manual handling, and improve handling efficiency.
EMS: By setting up tracks above the workshop and using suspended conveyors to transport tires from one production process to another. This system is suitable for continuous conveying in the tire production process, which can avoid occupying ground space and achieve automated material flow, improving production continuity.
Automated delivery system
Intelligent Warehouse Management System (WMS): It can monitor real-time information such as tire inventory quantity, storage location, and in/out time. By integrating with the enterprise's production management system and order management system, it can achieve automatic inventory counting and replenishment reminders, optimize inventory structure, and improve inventory turnover rate.
The value of automated logistics in the tire industry
Improving production efficiency: The rapid operation and precise operation of automated equipment reduce manual intervention and waiting time, achieve seamless connection between tire production and logistics, and improve overall production efficiency.
Cost reduction: Reduced the use of manual labor and lowered labor costs; Meanwhile, by optimizing inventory management and transportation scheduling, inventory and transportation costs have been reduced.
Improving product quality: The automated logistics system can accurately control the handling and storage process of tires, avoiding tire damage that may be caused by manual handling and ensuring the stability of product quality.
Enhancing enterprise competitiveness: The intelligent management and rapid response of logistics have been achieved, which can better meet the personalized needs of customers, improve customer satisfaction, and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises in the market.
