1、 Project Background

With the booming development of the e-commerce industry, the third-party logistics (3PL) industry is facing enormous challenges, such as a surge in order volume, a wide variety of SKUs, and diversified customer demands. The traditional warehousing model can no longer meet the efficient and precise logistics needs. A large logistics center has decided to introduce the Bullseye Intelligent four-way shuttle system to enhance its competitiveness and create an intelligent warehousing solution.

 

2、 Solution

The warehouse height of the logistics center is 9.5 meters, and the original number of storage spaces was 2340. To fully utilize vertical space and improve warehouse floor area ratio, the project has adopted the following plan:

Equipment configuration: Deploy 15 Bullseye intelligent four-way shuttles and 8 elevators to achieve automated storage, retrieval, and cross layer handling of goods.

Shelf design: Using high-rise shelves, the number of storage spaces has been increased to 4680, and the plot ratio has been increased by 200%.

Software system: Deploy the independently developed WMS warehouse management system and RCS scheduling system by Bullseye Intelligence to achieve intelligent management and scheduling of warehouse operations.

3、 Advantages of the plan

Improve space utilization: The Bullseye intelligent four-way shuttle can achieve high-density storage of goods, fully utilize the vertical space of the warehouse, and increase the warehouse volume ratio by 200%.

Improve inbound and outbound efficiency: Four directional shuttles can flexibly shuttle between shelves, and with the help of elevators, achieve fast access to goods, increasing inbound and outbound efficiency by 160%.

Reduce labor costs: Automated equipment replaces manual handling, significantly reducing labor costs and minimizing human errors.

Improving management level: Intelligent systems achieve digitalization and visualization of warehouse operations, enhancing warehouse management level and decision-making efficiency.

 

4、 Implementation effect

After the implementation of the project, the logistics center has achieved significant economic and social benefits:

The warehouse capacity has doubled: the number of storage locations has increased from 2340 to 4680, effectively alleviating the storage pressure in the warehouse.

The efficiency of homework has been greatly improved: the efficiency of inbound and outbound inventory has increased by 160%, and the ability to process orders has been significantly enhanced.

Labor cost reduction: Automated equipment replacing labor is expected to save millions of yuan in labor costs annually.

Customer satisfaction improvement: Faster order processing speed and higher accuracy have increased customer satisfaction.
