  • Publication number: 20230348185
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a solution of high density storage and goods-to-man picking by proposing a three dimensional warehouse system for accurate inbound and outbound operation and management and improved space utilization rate of the warehouse. The technical solution includes a rack, containers, carrier vehicles, and track-switching devices. The rack includes a track structure and defines at least one load-bearing platform. The track structure includes running tracks, and the at least one load-bearing platform located below the running track. Each container stores goods, and part of the containers are stacked and placed on the at least one load-bearing platform. The carrier vehicle moves back and forth on the running tracks to perform storage and retrieval operations in the container storage system. The track-switching device is configured to switch the carrier vehicle from a current running track where the carrier vehicle is located to a target running track.

  • Patent number: 10427872
    Abstract: An automatic warehouse control system and method are provided. The system comprises a goods transport module, an information input module, a data storage module, a data retrieval module, and a drive control module. The goods transport module moves goods containers. The information input module is configured to input goods information to form goods warehousing data. The data storage module stores the goods warehousing data. The data retrieval module retrieves goods warehousing data and sends a retrieved result to the drive control module according to information of to-be-picked goods. The drive control module controls operation of the goods transport module to transport a goods container containing the to-be-picked goods to the goods-picking location according to the retrieved result. The technical solution is easy to implement, has a low cost, and allows one warehouse operator to manage multiple racks at the same time, which can significantly reduce hardware and time cost.
