Factors in choosing a shuttle rack

The company considers the following factors when considering whether it is appropriate to choose a shuttle rack.

The type of storage, size, weight, single quantity, shelf life requirement, packaging type, etc. and storage mode play a decisive role in storage. In order to improve the efficiency of logistics operations in the shuttle rack area, the goods must first be consolidated into a uniform size cargo in the form of a pallet or similar pallet structure. The unitized pallet and similar pallet structure applied in the shuttle shelf area must meet the following requirements: convenient forklift operation space, static and dynamic load capacity capable of carrying the weight of the pallet unit, and a good pallet force support mode in combination with the storage form. Convenient pallet have good dynamic and static structure and force support capacity when stored on the shuttle support rails. Also, when the shuttle is in operation, the overhanging part of the pallet has good dynamic and static support capacity; the maximum pallet deformation amount is not more than 25mm. It is not to affect the normal operation of the shuttle. The gap between the pallets in the storage process of the multi-tray unit is reasonable, and even the dynamic analysis of the movement curve of the shuttle during the handling operation is required. The impact of the cargo is affected, and the performance of the shuttle is analyzed and tested. The secondary packaging and reinforcement of the dynamic performance of the stored goods during the handling process are also considered. The most typical is the flat pallet (including the plastic flat pallet, wooden pallets, etc.), the deformed body has a column pallet, a rack pallet (container rack), a cage pallet (warehouse cage), a box pallets, folding pallets, storage cage, also need to be adaptive transform for handling characteristics and form of shuttle cargo unit.

Reasonably analyze and determine the force support points of the loading unit in the form of a pallet or a similar pallet structure. That is the supporting action form on the guide rail and the supporting action form in the case of the shuttle lifting motion, and the simulation or test detection is obtained. The maximum deformation control M at the bottom of the unit is obtained to obtain a loading unit that conforms to the load bearing requirements and structure, avoiding interference with the space motion of the shuttle.

Cargo unitization must meet the basic requirements of packaging, can effectively protect materials, save space, easy to handle, etc.; also meet the size requirements of the unitization, such as the unit size must match the size of the standard shuttle, standard pallet dimensions, even the width of the shuttle rail, the size of the shelf layout, etc. Reasonably analyze and predict the characteristics of the goods on the loading unit, and form a combination of a certain size and weight to avoid stacking of ultra-wide, super-high and easy-to-package goods, otherwise it will affect the final functional configuration of the overall system. Choice and optimization, that is, to meet the final functionality of the system as the planning goal, with the refinement of the achievable unit structure as the leading factor, combined with the assembly test and the shuttle operation test, or the past successful experience data to ensure the storage of goods unitization is effective and feasible.
