Industry Solutions | Enotek Group Helps the Chemical Fiber Industry to Increase the Storage Capacity of Goods and Achieve the Unmanned Warehouse
Sep 21,2022
Summary
China is a world chemical fiber power, with output has reached 70% of global production capacity. In order to meet the huge market demand, chemical fiber enterprises produce 24 hours without interruption, but the peak delivery amount is 1.5-2 times of the warehouse entry amount. In some periods, it can even reach 3-4 times. In warehousing logistics, chemical fiber enterprises are always faced with problems such as high land and labor costs, low labor efficiency, and poor information traceability. In order to achieve high efficiency and high-quality production, the chemical fiber industry has been seeking intelligent upgrading of production and warehousing lo
China is a world chemical fiber power, with output has reached 70% of global production capacity. In order to meet the huge market demand, chemical fiber enterprises produce 24 hours without interruption, but the peak delivery amount is 1.5-2 times of the warehouse entry amount. In some periods, it can even reach 3-4 times. In warehousing logistics, chemical fiber enterprises are always faced with problems such as high land and labor costs, low labor efficiency, and poor information traceability. In order to achieve high efficiency and high-quality production, the chemical fiber industry has been seeking intelligent upgrading of production and warehousing logistics.
INDUSTRY PAIN POINTS
1. Keeping producing for 24 hours per day which need high requirements of stability and efficiency of equipment.
2. As a raw material for production, the chemical fiber industry has high inventory requirements due to its high production capacity.
3. Owing to the flat warehouse storage, the cargo pallet covers a large area and the space utilization rate is insufficient.
4. Poor information traceability and high demand for automation.
INTELLIGENT LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS
1. Providing solution design that fits the customer's business characteristics through In-depth research and excavation of customer needs.
2. The intelligent WMS/WCS system achieves the storage location management of finished goods, order timeliness and efficient delivery of finished products.
3. Using the efficient and stable ASRS system to create automated warehouses for customers to meet the high inventory needs of enterprises.
CASE STUDY
The enterprise ranking the top three in domestic civil polyester filament industry, its products covering POY, FDY, DTY and other series. Enotek Group has stood out from many competitors and won the trust of this client with excellent teamwork, innovative technology, and outstanding integration ability.
In this case, we provide a totally intelligent logistics solution from finished goods entry to delivery as well as order management. Eighteen stackers have been used to establish 20,000+ storage spaces. An automated storage and retrieval system has been used to replace flat storage and manual handling to greatly increase the storage capacity of goods. The intelligent logistics solution has achieved full-automatic warehouse entry and exit, cargo inventory, and unmanned warehouse through the WMS and WCS systems self-developed by Enotek Group. The completion and operation of the project further optimizes the product structure of the enterprise, increases the added value of the products, and enhances the core competitiveness and market share of the enterprise effectively.
Location: Zhejiang
Time: 2020
User Type: Leading enterprise in chemical fiber industry
PROJECT DIFFICULTIES
1. Large product size (1200 * 1200 * 1800mm) and large unit load (nearly tons);
2. High requirements for the efficiency and capability of offline storage and order fulfillment of chemical fiber products;
3. Client needs to realize the traceability of warehouse chemical fiber products and orders in the whole process.
SYSTEM EQUIPMENT
1. 18 pallet stackers, 20,000+ storage locations;
2. 1 set of customized WMS/WCS warehouse management system to achieve whole process control from entry to delivery;
3. Efficient connection between the warehouse and the factory has been achieved through reasonable and efficient design of the warehouse area, and logistics lines that fit the customer's production characteristics;
4. Digital Twin System self-developed by Enotek Group.
PROJECT ACHIEVEMENTS
1. The shelf is 24 meters high, which expand customer's storage space and solve the storage problem. There are 12 outbound stations on the first floor with 18 lanes can automatically ship goods to any outbound port to wait for direct docking between loading warehouse and production packaging and achieve automatic warehousing and storage on the second floor.
2. This project has high storage density and the total flow is nearly 630P/h. By using pallet stackers and automatic conveyor lines, Enotek Group achieves efficient unmanned operation of products from the production area to the storage area.
3. Unmanned operation not only effectively saves labor costs, but also eliminates the hidden danger of personal safety accidents. It also ensures that the quality of products will not be loss during transportation, and achieves the full automation of finished product storage and warehousing.
