More Efficient and Smarter | Inform Contributes to the “SMART” Automation Manufacturing of COSMOS!

Inform Storage provided AS/RS + four-way radio shuttle system solution for Maanshan project of COSMOS Co., Ltd.

1. Customer Introduction

COSMOS Chemical Co., Ltd., established in April 2000, is mainly engaged in the research and development, production and sales of daily chemical raw materials. The products cover cosmetic active ingredients and their raw materials, synthetic fragrances, etc. COSMOS now has two production bases, located in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province and Ma’anshan City, Anhui Province.

Over the years, COSMOS has adhered to the market-oriented business policy. At present, it has advanced technology, research and development level and product quality in related fields, and has many high-quality customer resources. The products are mainly sold in Europe and the United States, and the main products occupy a large market share of similar products.

2. Project Overview

This project adopts a set of AS/RS and two sets of four-way radio shuttle compact storage system.

The AS/RS has 10 layers. The overall planning is 2 double-deep stacker cranes, and one stacker crane for each aisle. The AS/RS warehouse has a total of 1,500 cargo spaces.

Empty barrel pallet type four-way shuttle compact warehouse has 2layers.Empty barrel compact warehouse has 2 main lanes, 2 pallet type four-way shuttles, 2 lifters, and the lifters can realize layer-changing operation . There are 372 cargo spaces in the compact warehouse.

The raw material pallet type four-way shuttle compact warehouse has the number of layers in 10, the raw material compact warehouse has 1 main road, 2 pallet type four-way shuttles, 1 shuttle vertical conveyor, and the shuttle vertical conveyor can realize changing layer operation. The total storage space of the compact warehouse is 450.

3. Four-way Radio Shuttle System

The four-way radio shuttle system is usually composed of a four-way radio shuttle, lifter, conveyor or AGV, compact storage racking, and WMS and WCS systems. It is the latest generation of intelligent and fully automated compact storage solutions.

24-hour fully automated batch pallet operation, suitable for both low-flow, high-density storage, and high-flow, high-density storage systems.

With the maximizing the use of space for high-density storage, reducing costs and improving flexibility, the four-way shuttle system has strong flexibility and scalability, and the efficiency can be doubled. Storage space utilization can be as high as 95%.

System Features

â—‡ High-density storage, flexible design of cargo space depth

â—‡ Modular design, good scalability, the number of shuttles can be increased according to different efficiency requirements

â—‡ The requirements for the height, area and irregularity of the warehouse are not high

â—‡ Strong flexibility in emergency situations

Feature

â—‡ Independent integrated circuit board technology, support data collection and platform display

â—‡ Support multiple pallet size mixing

â—‡ Four-way driving, cross roadway operation, cross floor operation

â—‡ Support multi-shuttle collaborative operation on the same floor, with self-detection and self-obstruction avoidance capabilities

â—‡ Location awareness, assist WCS intelligent scheduling and path planning

â—‡ Fleet operations are not limited to first-in and first-out (FIFO) or first-in and last-out (FILO) in-out operations.

â—‡ Flexible and easy to expand

4. The Project Overcomes Technical Difficulties

1)   This project realizes the multi-floor seamless connection between the stacker crane of the finished product warehouse and the four-way radio shuttle compact warehouse, which is difficult to install and implement, and the scheduling system is complicated;

2)  The height of the lifter in the raw material warehouse is high, and a total of ten layers of compact racking are designed to be connected, which poses an important test for the installation accuracy requirements.

5. Project Implementation Design Highlights

1)  For the explosion-proof workshop where the raw material warehouse is connected to the customer’s operation, all the electrical cabinets of the raw material warehouse are designed with explosion-proof electrical cabinets, and the lifter of compact warehouse and the corridor RGV are powered by explosion-proof motors and drag chains;

2)  The pallet type four-way radio shuttle is manually charged;

3)  Equipped with an RGV air corridor with a height of 11 meters and a total length of 80 meters, which directly sends the raw material warehouse materials to the Class A processing workshop;

4)  All the conveying lines and equipment adopt intrinsically safe photoelectricity.
