Add a paper sliding pallet with RFID chip on the wooden pallet, use a special push-pull forklift to fork the paper sliding pallet together with the whole pallet of cigarettes placed on it, scan the chip information through the outgoing scanner, and load it into the car. Finished the delivery of cigarettes on paper sliding trays in the industrial link.
The industrial delivery truck is fully loaded with 1,600 cigarettes in a single piece, and 24 cigarettes per pallet on a paper sliding tray, two layers of upper and lower layers, two stacks of left and right, a cross-sectional four-tray loading mode, which can load 1,536 cigarettes in 64 pallets, with a loading rate of 96% , Compared with the traditional pallet intermodal transport of 960 pieces, the loading rate has increased by 60%, and the labor for the loading process has been reduced by 3 people.
After the industrial delivery truck arrives at the business, the special push-pull forklift picks up the paper sliding pallet, and pushes 24 whole pallets of cigarettes together with the paper sliding pallet onto the wooden pallet, and then uses the ordinary forklift relay to scan the whole pallet, a series of After the procedure, the warehousing of cigarettes in the commercial sector has also been completed.
At present, the average unloading time of cigarettes on paper sliding pallets is about 1 minute per pallet, the unloading efficiency of cigarettes is 260 pieces/person/hour, and the unloading efficiency of paper sliding pallets is about 300 pieces/person/hour, and the labor for unloading has been reduced by 2 to 3 people. .
“Transformation”
From traditional pallets to paper sliding pallets
In 2014, the industry put forward the requirements of the “three unifications” (unified tray size, unified stacking method, unified technical parameters and data format for electronic label application) of whole pallet transportation of industrial and commercial cigarettes.
For Fujian China Tobacco at that time, the specifications and standards of Longyan’s elevated warehouse and traditional pallets were different from that of Xiamen Tobacco, and there were also differences in the stacking methods and pallet standards of cigarettes in the first and second areas of Xia Tobacco.
If pallet intermodal transportation is realized according to the requirements of “three unifications”, China Tobacco Fujian will face huge transformation problems and huge capital investment: the initial one-time transformation cost will be more than 100 million yuan; the annual transportation cost will double compared with the current one, and the annual increase in freight will be More than 100 million yuan; the renovation project takes a long time, and the renovation site has a greater impact on production and operation.
How to solve the problem?
Based on a lot of research, analysis and experimentation, Fujian Tobacco Industrial and Commercial Enterprise decided to combine the combined transportation of cigarette paper and sliding trays with the industry’s “three unifications” requirements.
The paper sliding pallets they use are kraft paper pallets with an inner RFID, thickness of about 1mm, and weight of about 1kg. They have high toughness and can be recycled and reused. The forklifts that load and unload paper slide pallets are made of ordinary forklifts and push-pulls. Push-pull forklift assembled by the attachments; it adopts the stacking pattern of 24 pieces/pallet.
Compared with traditional pallet transportation, the advantages of paper sliding pallet transportation are mainly manifested in three aspects:
One is to solve the problem of inconsistent pallet standards. The paper sliding tray is used as the carrier to play the role of a different standard pallet converter, which truly realizes the seamless docking of pallet standards, without the need to replace or purchase traditional pallets, and there is no need to modify the high-bay warehouse.
The second is to solve the problem of low loading rate. Compared with the low loading rate of traditional pallet intermodal transportation, paper-slip pallet intermodal transportation can reach a loading rate of 96%, which greatly reduces logistics and transportation costs.
The third is to facilitate recycling and sorting. Compared with traditional pallets, paper sliding pallets are small in size and light in weight. They are relatively easy to recycle, organize and store, and the related costs are significantly lower than traditional pallets.
For industrial and commercial enterprises, the use of paper sliding pallet transportation requires additional investment in special push-pull forklifts and paper sliding pallets. The other hardware requirements are consistent with traditional pallet transportation and no additional investment is required; traditional pallet transportation is efficient and protects the quality of cigarettes. Advantages: Paper sliding trays are easy to organize, store and recycle.
“Clearing Obstacles”
Close collaboration to ensure efficient operation
During the development of the combined transportation of cigarette paper and sliding trays, Fujian tobacco industry and commerce companies worked closely together to overcome difficulties, found problems in a timely manner, and effectively solved them.
In the early stage of planning, they focused on the configuration and transformation of special push-pull forklifts, underground, platforms, sites and other equipment and facilities, as well as push-pull forklift driver training; in the later operation, they focused on improving the efficiency of loading and unloading. Convergence work such as adjusting the pace of cigarette delivery.
In their specific operations, they also overcome technical problems such as the displacement of the paper sliding pallet and the instability of the stack of cigarettes, which effectively improved the overall efficiency of the cigarette paper sliding pallet intermodal transportation.
During the transportation of cigarette paper sliding pallets, the stability and non-large displacement of the paper sliding pallets play an important role in the loading and unloading and warehousing of stacks of cigarettes.
To this end, Fujian China Tobacco has improved the material of the paper sliding pallet and strengthened the operation skills of the push-pull forklift driver to ensure that the paper sliding pallet is placed before storage, the entire pallet is loaded and unloaded, and does not deform or move significantly during transportation.
In terms of the way of stacking cigarettes, it is mainly considered that the whole pallet of cigarettes remains stable in the loading and unloading operation and transportation links of the push-pull forklift. The industrial and commercial parties jointly studied and practiced and tested various materials, and found that the use of plastic film to wrap the stack of cigarettes to ensure stability is superior to other materials in terms of comprehensive performance, such as operational effects, convenience and economy.
The solution of a series of technical problems has greatly improved the operating efficiency and quality of Fujian Tobacco Cigarette Pallet Intermodal Transport:
The loading time of industrial bicycles has been shortened from 180 minutes to 90 minutes; the unloading time of commercial bicycles has been shortened from 150 minutes to about 70 minutes. The efficiency of unloading operations is significantly improved, and the labor intensity of operators is significantly reduced.
The combined transportation range and combined transportation volume of paper sliding pallets are also expanding and increasing.
Up to now, China Tobacco Fujian has implemented integrated transportation of cigarette paper sliding trays with 8 of the 9 prefecture-level commercial companies in the province (Nanping Tobacco Company has not been carried out due to technological transformation).
From January to July this year, China Tobacco Fujian’s paper slip-tray cigarettes delivered more than 140,000 boxes. Among them, more than 40,000 boxes were sent to the Quanzhou company and the Xiamen company.
The monthly combined transport volume continued to grow by a large proportion, and the volume of paper slip pallet cigarettes that month increased from 1,382 boxes in January to 56,917 boxes in July.
At the same time, the proportion of paper sliding tray cigarette shipments in the province’s real estate cigarette shipments continued to increase. Among them, Longyan City Company and Xiamen City Company accounted for more than 90% in July, and Fuzhou City Company and Sanming City Company accounted for 80% in July. %above.
From the initial practice and exploration of Fujian Tobacco cigarette paper sliding tray intermodal transportation, the results are gradually showing and the trend is improving. It is benefited from the inspiration and encouragement of the leaders of China Tobacco Commercial Logistics Company, and the great attention and cooperation of the leaders of Fujian Tobacco’s industrial and commercial parties. The efficient coordination of logistics also provides a prerequisite and guarantee for Fujian Tobacco to continue to improve the intermodal transportation of cigarette paper and sliding trays.
