Northern R&D company
The materials are small in quantity, varied and controlled
A professional research institution in Taiwan, focusing on the R&D of advanced technologies, especially in the field of communication technology, electronic systems, aviation, and has accumulated rich experience and achieved remarkable results
Due to the strict requirements for material safety and confidentiality, they have been facing with various management problems before the introduction of smart storage Including:
Before the introduction of automatic storage, the following challenges are faced in terms of material storage and management
Difficult to access material
It is not easy to access materials on traditional shelves
Space is underused and unorganized
Materials are placed on traditional iron racks, which require a large plane space for storage and are very messy
Low efficiency both in and out of storage
It is not easy to find the right material, and it takes a long time to prepare materials to be ready for in and out of storage
Open space, difficult to manage
Managing materials in open spaces is not easy
Low environment utilization
The height of the storage is not utilized
Manual registration and data processing are cumbersome
Workers need to register on the traditional shelf first, and then go to the computer to key in or remove the material information
Difficulty in security control
Access control is required, but the client don’t know how to use the computer system to authorize
Client demands Material management
Material storing A large variety of various controlled materials in small amount
Conditions The smart storage is of closed design, for the material that needs to be controlled, workers will need ID card to access, and the system needs to be given different authorization levels to ensure that the material is actually controlled
Due to the complexity, small amount but large variety of materials and safety needs, it is necessary to clearly control material inlet and outlet. In response to such needs, there are generally two kinds of smart storage solutions, one is vertical automatic storage, and the other is controlled automatic temporary storage on demand shelf to enhance management safety
▲Vertical smart automatic storage
• Material storage design
The system is designed for two types of cylindrical materials storage units with diameters of 40cm and 50cm respectively. Each storage unit can accommodate 8 types of materials, about 100 types of storage space changes, and is equipped with freely movable and combined V-shaped protective pads, which can achieve 99.99% stability and effectively reduce the risk of damage caused by material falling
• Pallet extension mechanism
The extension mechanism can withstand up to 1000 kg of weight, and can still operate stably under full load, while the load-transfer efficiency is increased by 30%, and the material access speed is reduced to an average of 12 seconds
• Weighing function
The system is integrated with precise weight measuring components, the measurement accuracy is up to ±5 kg, and the data
▲Controlled automatic temporary on demand rack
• Cabinet design
The system has a double-door design, divided into left and right sides, each containing three cells with one able to hold 117 liters, the overall storage capacity is at 702 liters
After each time of card-swiping access, the storage cabinet is opened for no more than 5 seconds, which significantly improves the operating efficiency
• Safety control
Built-in ID card reader, authorization success rate is more than 99.9%, and data synchronization can be performed real-time with back-end API to ensure that all cabinet opening records are traceable to meet high level security requirements
Precise material picking, information digitizing
These innovative designs not only meet the client's needs for safety and accurate material storage, but also fully reflect the efficiency and reliability of automatic storage technology
After measurement, the overall storage management efficiency increased by about 50%, and the error rate decreased to less than 1%, showing the company's excellent strength in the field of intelligent storage and automation solutions
After the introduction of automatic storage, significant improvements and benefits have been achieved in many aspects, which are reflected in the following parts:
Improve material management efficiency and safety
Spare parts are stored in closed automatic storage, which eases management, material protection and factory 6S
Maximizing space utilization
The height of material access is not limited, and the smart storage can be extended to the ceiling, so that the space is fully utilized and looks tidy
Intuitive material picking and precise operation
Automatic storage is equipped with material location guidance function to make material picking more intuitive and correct
Real-time updates and transparent management
Storage system integrates material management, so that information can be updated immediately
Effective authority control and material accounting management
Set authority levels to control materials, enabling material accounting management
Strengthen authority control, conduct fine management of material accounting
The material indicator can to the location of the material to be picked up for more precise picking
Material information digitization for easier statistics and decision making support
Material information is digitized to facilitate statistical management
Strict management of controlled materials
The user needs to log in with the ID card, and then be authorized by the system to implement strict management of the controlled materials
