Storage System need more and more intelligence and automation as Society and Economy development need more and more high efficiency and energy-saving, but a ideal Storage System is a complex project, including all kinds of software systems and hardware logistics equipment, such as WMS (warehouse management system), WCS(Warehouse Control System), DPS(Digital Picking System),AS/RS system(Automatic Storage and Retrieval System), conveying and sorting equipment, AGV, Stacker Cranes, three-dimensional racks and so on.
About intelligent and automated three-dimensional racks in warehouses, first let us learn LIFO – drive-in And FIFO – drive-through Drive-in and drive-through rack is designed for last-in, first-out (LIFO – drive-in) or first-in, first-out (FIFO – drive-through) inventory management. Pallets are stored on support rails that are attached to uprights and are accessed by a lift truck that drives in to the system with the load elevated to the height of the rail and placed in the selected storage location. Picking aisles are eliminated allowing for higher density in limited spaces, such as freezer or cooler storage. Since picking aisles are eliminated, drive-in and drive-through systems offer low selectivity. As low selectivity racking systems, they are ideal for storing large quantities of homogeneous products, products with long life spans, and products that require large, one-time moves. These products include furniture or fragile items that cannot be stored in block stacks. Product Flow In drive-in rack, the lift truck loads and unloads by entering through the front of the system and then backing out, making it a LIFO option. In drive-through rack, the lift truck is able to enter through both ends of the system for loading and unloading allowing for a FIFO storage option but requiring an additional aisle.
