Research on the Application of Automated Storage/Retrieval System in the Warehouse Management of Automotive Rubber Product

Abstract

Modern warehousing and logistics technology has promoted the widespread application of automated storage/retrieval system (AS/RS) in the automotive rubber products industry. In view of the problems of many types of automotive rubber products, mixed brands, and difficult batch management, the traditional forklift stacking and manual inventory models are inefficient, error-prone, and difficult to meet the needs of industrial development. This article combines the material characteristics of automotive rubber products to explain the functional positioning, design key points and implementation methods of the AS/RS. Based on the production capacity forecast and inventory analysis, the number of pallets and rack layout were determined, the main equipment parameters such as stackers, shuttles, and AGVs were clarified, and six functional areas were divided into receiving, sorting, caching, warehousing, shipping, and tool storage, realizing automated scheduling and information management of incoming and outgoing warehouses. This design solution can effectively improve space utilization and operating efficiency, achieve full traceability of materials, and provide a feasible reference for the intelligent upgrading of warehousing in the automotive rubber products industry.
