Uspeed Logistics RFID automatic sorting system
[ad_1]
In the recent development of Uspeed, in order to seek more profit growth space for the company, it continues to extend its industrial chain and carry out multi-party cross-border cooperation. In addition, Uspeed is also continuously strengthening the construction of the basic express delivery industry. More energy is invested in the express delivery industry. It can be said that the development of modern enterprises is inseparable from the improvement of technical level. This time, the large-scale warehouse transfer station constructed by Yousu in Ningbo will also greatly promote the transformation of Yousu into a mechanized enterprise.
The most direct and obvious advantage of using mechanized production is that it will greatly improve the efficiency of the production process. At present, most private express companies, including Uspeed, are still using manual scanning, sorting and warehousing. If machine sorting and scanning and warehousing are used, the labor input will be greatly reduced. Uspeed only needs to make a detailed work plan for employees so that employees can better cooperate with machine production. This will reduce Uspeed’s human investment in express shipments and obtain higher economic benefits.
It is reported that the machine invested this time can achieve a workload of 40,000 small pieces, which is believed to improve the production efficiency of the enterprise for Uspeed. The construction of the large-scale warehousing transfer station this time is close to completion, and it is believed that it will be put into use soon, which will further promote the development of Uspeed in the express delivery industry. I also hope that Uspeed can provide consumers with better services.
The automatic sorting system is one of the necessary facilities for advanced distribution centers.
Has a high sorting efficiency, usually 6000-12000 boxes of goods can be sorted per hour;
It can be said that the automatic sorter is a key factor to improve the efficiency of logistics distribution.
The automatic sorting system generally consists of a control device, a sorting device, a conveying device and a sorting gate.
1. The function of the control device is to identify, receive and process the sorting signal, instruct the sorting device according to the requirements of the sorting signal, and automatically classify the goods according to the type of goods, the place where the goods are delivered, or the category of the owner. These sorting requirements can be input into the sorting control system in different ways, such as barcode scanning, color code scanning, keyboard input, weight detection, voice recognition, height detection and shape recognition, etc., according to the sorting control system. Signal judgment to determine which sorting crossing a certain commodity should enter.
2. The function of the sorting device is to follow the sorting instructions issued by the control device. When commodities with the same sorting signal pass through the device, the device will act to change the direction of travel on the conveying device to enter other conveyors or enter the sorting Level crossing. There are many types of sorting devices, generally there are push-out type, floating type, tilt type and branch type. Different devices have different requirements for the packaging materials, packaging weight, and smoothness of the bottom surface of the package. .
3. The main component of the conveying device is a conveyor belt or a conveyor. Its main function is to make the goods to be sorted pass through the control device, the sorting device, and both sides of the conveying device. Generally, several sorting crossings are connected to make the sorting better. Of goods slide down the main conveyor (or main conveyor belt) for follow-up operations.
4. The sorting gate is the passage through which the sorted goods leave the main conveyor (or main conveyor belt) and enter the collection area. Generally, a slideway is composed of steel belts, belts, rollers, etc., so that the goods slide from the main conveyor to the collection platform , Where all the goods at the crossing will be collected or stored in the warehouse by the staff, or assembled and loaded into vehicles and distributed.
The above four parts of devices are connected through a computer network, and cooperate with manual control and corresponding manual processing links to form a complete automatic sorting system.
The automatic sorting system has the following characteristics:
1. It can sort goods continuously and in large quantities. Due to the assembly line automatic operation method used in mass production, the automatic sorting system is not restricted by climate, time, human physical strength, etc., and can run continuously. At the same time, because the automatic sorting system sorts a large number of pieces per unit time, it is automatically sorted The sorting capacity of the system is continuous operation for more than 100 hours, and it can sort 7000 pieces of packaged goods per hour. If manually, it can only sort about 150 pieces per hour. At the same time, the sorting personnel cannot work continuously under this kind of labor intensity. Work for 8 hours.
2. The sorting error rate is extremely low. The sorting error rate of the automatic sorting system mainly depends on the accuracy of the sorting information entered, which in turn depends on the sorting information input mechanism. If the manual keyboard or voice recognition method is used for input, the error rate is 3% Above, if the barcode is scanned and input, unless there is an error in the printing of the barcode, there will be no error. Therefore, the current automatic sorting system mainly uses barcode technology to identify goods.
3. The sorting operation is basically unmanned. One of the purposes of establishing automatic sorting systems abroad is to reduce the use of personnel, reduce the labor intensity of workers, and improve the efficiency of personnel. Therefore, the automatic sorting system can minimize the use of personnel and basically achieve unmanned . The sorting operation itself does not require the use of personnel, and the use of personnel is limited to the following tasks:
(1) When the delivery vehicle arrives at the receiving end of the automatic sorting line, the goods will be picked up manually.
(2) The operation of the sorting system is manually controlled.
(3) At the end of the sorting line, the sorted goods are manually collected and loaded.
(4) Operation, management and maintenance of the automatic sorting system.
For example, a US company’s distribution center has an area of about 100,000 square meters, which can sort nearly 400,000 items per day, and only uses about 400 employees, some of whom are engaged in the above (1), (3), (4) For this task, automatic sorting is truly unmanned.
There are four main steps to adopt RFID advanced sorting system:
First, before the start of the sorting operation, the picking information must be processed first. The express sorting operation should form the picking data according to the sorting list output by the order processing system, and then perform the sorting operation. The Okamura slider sorter is used to automatically sort parcels to improve sorting accuracy.
The second is to input the relevant cargo and classification information into the automatic control system through the automatic classification and information input device.
Third, the automatic sorting system uses computer control center technology to automatically process the goods and classification information and form data instructions and transmit them to the sorting machine.
Fourth, the sorter uses barcode technology, radio frequency identification technology and other automatic identification devices to automatically sort and pick the goods. When the goods are moved to the conveyor through the transplanting device, they are moved from the conveying system to the sorting system, and then there are sorting crossings. The discharging device pushes the express shipments into sorting and sorting according to the pre-set sorting requirements, and completes the sorting operation.
