Automated vertical warehouse storage, referred to as vertical warehouse, is mainly used in electromechanical, aerospace, shipbuilding, aviation, metallurgy, petrochemical, textile, light industry, medicine, military and other industries, as well as five major systems of materials, finance, commerce, railways, and seaports. Automated warehouses mostly takes advanced computer control technology as the main means, high-level three-dimensional shelves as the main symbol, and complete sets of advanced handling equipment as the basis, so as to form high-efficiency logistics, large-capacity and scientific storage, so as to meet the needs of modern storage and production.Undoubtedly, automated warehouse is a comprehensive scientific and technological project of modern material handling and warehousing science.

There are various types of automated warehouses, and the material composition is mainly composed of three major parts: cargo storage system, cargo retrieval/storage transportation system and management system.

Shelf type vertical warehouse

Rack-type vertical warehouse, also known as automated warehouse system, is one of the main vertical warehouse projects in EFORK. It is composed of warehouse building, high-rise shelves, stacker, inbound / outbound conveyor and other peripheral equipment, computer / electronic control device / information processing system. Large-capacity and high-storage storage is the first choice for warehousing industry manufacturers. According to the logistics needs, it is mainly controlled by the central computer control system, with warehousing area, transmission area, storage area and delivery area, all of which are operated automatically, and the "disk ledger" is realized for incoming and outgoing goods.

Cabinet type vertical warehouse

The cabinet-type vertical warehouse, referred to as the cabinet library, is also called the component library and the database in foreign countries. It takes the hopper as the storage unit, rotates vertically through the sprocket and the chain, and the microprocessor monitors the outer casing to establish the storage body. The cabinet structure is customized according to the needs of application, especially suitable for the storage of small precious and rare items and small precision parts, such as electronic and electrical components, weapons and equipment, rare metals, and expensive chemical raw materials. It is also suitable for the storage and purchase of documents, archives, books and cultural relics, securities tickets and items in optional shopping malls. The labor saving is the most significant, reaching 100%, with strong confidentiality.

With the development of the times, we have already faced the difficult problems encountered by other advanced countries in the early years, such as huge logistics volume, traffic congestion, shortage of parking space, and high cost of storage and land acquisition. It is imperative to develop warehouse logistics equipment. In addition, the urgent desire to reduce the area of flat warehouses and seek benefits from three-dimensional space and computer management can no longer be delayed. Restricting the construction of flat warehouses and building physical warehouses has become a wise choice for production take-off.
