What are the logistics warehouse equipment? Super detailed warehouse common equipment list!

Warehouse equipment mainly refers to all the equipment, tools and supplies needed for warehousing business except the main warehouse building in a modern warehouse.

So what kind of software and hardware equipment do professional warehousing logistics generally use? Below Ding Nuo to explain, I hope to help everyone.

Modern storage equipment can be divided into the following categories according to their use:

01 Fire fighting equipment

Warehouse is responsible for keeping good inventory materials, accurate quantity, good quality, ensure safety, rapid delivery, is an indispensable part of the enterprise; and do a good job in fire control work for the warehouse is particularly important.

In order to ensure the fire safety of the warehouse, the warehouse shall be equipped with fire fighting equipment and equipment of corresponding categories and functions according to its nature of use, volume, height, fire resistance limit and fire risk.

Common fire equipment are fire hydrants, fire pipes, smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, smoke masks, protective clothing and so on.

02 Handling equipment

In the process of warehouse operations (in and out of the warehouse, transfer, loading and unloading, transfer), in order to actually manage the physical movement of goods, according to different business links, it can be simply divided into:

Loading and unloading equipment, mainly forklifts, pallets, cranes, stackers and so on.

Handling equipment, automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), etc.

Conveyor equipment, belt conveyor, roller conveyor, etc.

Picking equipment, automatic sorting system, sorting robot, etc.

03 Warehouse delivery equipment

Mainly used for warehouse orders, picking, sorting, packaging, weighing and other delivery links of equipment.

Common are: PDA, baler, box sealer, printing equipment, intelligent weighing machine, assembly line, sorting equipment, distribution wall, pick trucks and so on.

04 Metering equipment

Warehouse measurement equipment: is used for goods in and out of the measurement, counting, as well as inventory storage period, inspection.

Commonly used storage metering equipment are: weighbridge, track scale, electronic scale, electronic counter, flowmeter, belt scale, balance meter and more primitive scales, tape measures, etc.

05 Storage devices

The equipment mainly used for storing and keeping commodities varies according to the shape, weight, volume, packaging specifications and other characteristics of the stored commodities.

Common storage equipment has a variety of shelves, tray devices, etc.

Shelf: beam shelves, through shelves, attic shelves, cantilever shelves, etc.

Material storage tools: pallets, storage cages, packaging boxes, turnover boxes, etc.

06 Warehouse Management Software

Warehouse commonly used systems mainly include WMS, OMS, TMS, etc., as follows:

WMS (Warehouse Management System) is a management system that effectively controls, tracks and alerts the whole process of logistics and cost management of warehouse business through the comprehensive use of functions such as receipt business, issue business, warehouse transfer, inventory transfer, comprehensive commodity management, supplier management, quality inspection management, batch management, inventory counting, etc., and realizes perfect enterprise warehouse information management.

OMS (Order Management System) is a system that accepts customer order information and inventory information from warehouse management system, and then classifies orders according to customers and criticality;OMS system is the core module of logistics IT system, providing support for unified management and decision analysis of enterprises.

TMS (Transportation Management System) is mainly used in the transportation process to conduct comprehensive and detailed statistical assessment of vehicles, drivers, routes, etc., which can greatly improve operation efficiency and reduce transportation costs.

07 Maintenance equipment

Maintenance and inspection equipment is the machines, tools and instruments used to check and accept goods when entering the warehouse and store them in the warehouse for testing and testing, as well as to prevent deterioration and failure of goods. Common are: temperature and humidity controller, automatic sprinkler device, rust remover, dryer and so on.

08 Ventilation and lighting equipment

Storage ventilation, warmth, lighting and other equipment: used to store goods and warehouse operations need to ensure the physical environment requirements.

Common storage ventilation, warmth, lighting and other equipment have dehumidifier, exhaust fan, lighting, protective insulation curtain and so on.

Principles of Storage Equipment Selection

Modern warehouse, storage equipment types, large number, occupy a large proportion of funds, so its rational allocation is particularly important, not only to meet the needs of warehouse operations and management, but also reasonable measurement of economic input, but also fully consider the development of warehouse use and equipment life combination and so on.

Therefore, when purchasing storage equipment, we should follow the following principles:

01 Applicability

The selection of relevant equipment should be fully combined with the actual operation data of the warehouse to decide. First of all, it is necessary to confirm the type of warehouse, the nature, quantity, storage and transportation requirements of the stored goods, and also consider the average daily inbound and outbound volume of the warehouse, and configure the equipment that meets the relevant requirements.

02 Economical

The configuration of warehouse equipment must be based on the economic conditions of the warehouse itself. Under the condition of meeting the needs of scale, the relatively comprehensive equipment must be configured with the least capital occupation to achieve the maximum economic benefits of the warehouse.

03 Advanced

With the continuous development of logistics technology, a variety of equipment emerge one after another, especially the emergence of intelligent storage equipment instead of a lot of artificial needs but also improve labor efficiency, so in the storage equipment configuration to adapt to the needs of modern logistics development, try to equip with new technology equipment to improve production efficiency.
