Innovative Breakthroughs, Win-Win Future
In today’s rapidly developing logistics industry, intelligent transformation has become the key for enterprises to enhance their competitiveness. With its outstanding technology and innovative capabilities, WITSKILL Robot has tailored a smart logistics robot solution for Meiweixian, successfully promoting the leap of Meiweixian’s Zhongshan stereoscopic warehouse from the traditional logistics mode to an intelligent and automated one.
Meiweixian is one of the leading enterprises in China’s condiment industry. Its traditional picking operation mode relies on manual order placement, picking, and distribution. In the face of the growing business demands, the traditional logistics mode can no longer meet the development needs of the enterprise. At the same time, the implementation of the project is confronted with many unfavorable conditions, such as the lack of mature precedents in the industry, a large demand for picking traffic, and limited factory space.
Careful Planning and Step-by-step Implementation
The project team of Weixi’er Robot, in collaboration with multiple departments of Meiweixian, including the Equipment Management Department, Warehousing Department, Operations Department, and Information Technology Department, has conducted an in-depth inventory of the current situation of the entire chain of sales, production, warehousing, and logistics, and accurately analyzed the needs. Under complex circumstances, multiple implementation plans have been formulated. Through comprehensive evaluations of the overall logistics planning, technical feasibility, and other aspects, the optimal plan has been determined. Moreover, a step-by-step implementation strategy has been adopted to ensure the steady progress of the project.
Technological Innovation to Overcome Difficulties
The automatic picking project is a part with extremely high technical difficulty in the intelligent stereoscopic warehouse project. Independently planned and designed by Weixi’er Robot, it adopts a mixed-code picking system composed of industry-leading technologies such as the RCS control system, automatic hybrid palletizing robots, mobile handling robots, and AI + 3D visual guidance, overcoming multiple technical challenges. This system uses an independently developed and innovative hybrid palletizing algorithm. Combined with the application of the robot’s depalletizing and palletizing functions, it realizes fully automatic picking, greatly reducing the need for human labor and improving the accuracy of preparing goods for loading. The innovative design of the fixture is the first of its kind, breaking through the technical bottleneck of being able to handle multiple box types without changing the fixture, which improves the flexibility and versatility of the operation. The software system RCS serves as the control center of the picking system. By analyzing orders, it automatically calculates and generates the optimal mixed palletizing patterns and material scheduling tasks in advance, driving the mobile handling robots to deliver different SKU goods to the picking stations. The AI + 3D visual system guides the box picking robots to grasp cartons of different specifications and complete the mixed-code operation according to the requirements of the order palletizing patterns. After the palletizing of an order is completed, the order pallet is transported out of the palletizing station by an AGV.
Collaborative Cooperation and Efficient Management
WITSKILL Robot has assisted the Meiweixian Zhongshan Stereoscopic Warehouse project in creating a set of intelligent collaborative management system, achieving seamless integration among warehouse management, logistics distribution, and production planning. Through real-time data monitoring and analysis, enterprises can promptly adjust their logistics strategies, improve logistics efficiency, and reduce costs.
The smart logistics robot solution created by WITSKILL Robot for Meiweixian has achieved remarkable results. Logistics efficiency has been significantly enhanced, the accuracy of order fulfillment has been greatly improved, warehouse space has been effectively utilized, and business efficiency has doubled. It has successfully realized efficient and automated picking in the intelligent warehouse. This project not only provides an example for the intelligent transformation and upgrading of Meiweixian’s discrete sales and shipment factories, but also demonstrates the huge potential and value of smart logistics solutions within the industry, motivating more enterprises to continuously explore and progress on the path of intelligent logistics. In the future, Weixi’er Robot will continue to uphold the spirit of innovation, provide high-quality smart logistics solutions for more enterprises, and help the industry reach new heights of development.
