Development trend of logistics machinery and equipment

With the expansion of the scale of production and logistics, as well as the improvement of the degree of logistics automation, logistics machinery and equipment in modern production and logistics more and more widely used, the role is more and more big; And modern production and modern logistics and logistics machinery and equipment put forward higher requirements. The improvement of the design ability of modern machinery and equipment, the rapid progress of science and technology, makes the technology of logistics machinery and equipment, knowledge content, culture content increases sharply, logistics machinery and equipment is experiencing a huge change. In the new century, logistics machinery and equipment technical performance will enter a new stage of development, logistics machinery and equipment will make greater development

Throughout the development status of logistics machinery and equipment, it can be seen that in order to meet the needs of modern logistics, logistics machinery and equipment have the following development trends:

1. Large-scale and high-speed

Large-scale means that the capacity, scale and capability of the equipment become larger and larger, while high-speed means that the operation speed, operation speed, identification speed and calculation speed of the equipment are greatly accelerated. With the rapid development of modern society and economy, the scale of production and logistics is constantly expanding. In order to improve operation efficiency and scale efficiency, the demand for large and high-speed logistics machinery is constantly growing. Logistics machinery and equipment of lifting weight, load, productivity, operating capacity more and more large, faster and faster work speed.

2. Practical and light

Logistics machinery and equipment is an important material and technical base of modern and automated logistics. Logistics machinery and equipment are required to be convenient to use, easy to maintain and operate, with excellent durability, trouble-free and good economy, as well as high safety and reliability. Therefore, more attention will be paid to the development of logistics machinery and equipment with good performance, low cost and high reliability in the future. There are some logistics machinery equipment is used in general occasions, the work is not heavy. This kind of equipment batch is large, wide use, considering the comprehensive benefit can reduce the appearance height, simplify the structure, reduce the cost, but also reduce the operation cost of equipment. This kind of lightweight device will have a faster development in the future.

3. Specialization and generalization

Logistics is the product of social and economic development, and will inevitably show the characteristics of diversification with the development of social and economic. The diversified characteristics reflect the diversified demand for logistics machinery and equipment, so that logistics machinery and equipment has a variety of varieties and. Keep updating. The systematization and consistency of logistics activities and the speed and mobility of transportation and distribution require some equipment to develop in the direction of specialization, and at the same time require some equipment to develop in the direction of generalization and standardization. Special equipment with unique functions to meet special needs, can play the priority of utility. Such as railway, ship, container and other special crane function will continue to increase, improve performance, adaptability is constantly strengthened; Container ships, bulk carriers, concrete carriers, tank trucks and other applications, low cost. And some generalized equipment can also realize the rapid transformation of logistics operations, greatly improve the efficiency of logistics operations, such as large container trailers can carry all sizes of shipping, air, rail transport fine containers, the future will also be further developed.

4. Automation and intelligence

The combination of mechanical technology and electronic technology, advanced microelectronics technology, power electronics technology, optical cable technology, hydraulic technology, fuzzy control technology applied to the mechanical drive and control system, to achieve the automation and intelligence of logistics machinery equipment will be the future development direction. For example, the new generation of large efficient crane electrical control device has been developed into a full electronic digital control system, by the full digital control drive device, programmable controller, fault diagnosis and data management system, digital control given detection devices. The application of advanced technology makes the crane have higher flexibility, thus improving the integrated automation level of single machine. The operation of transportation equipment relies more and more on steering instruments, signals and assisted driving systems which are becoming more and more intelligent. The development and application of the automatic driving system in sea transportation and air transportation, the delivery and pick-up car in the automated three-dimensional warehouse, and the intelligent transportation system (ITS) in highway transportation will attract the wide attention of many countries. In addition, with the help of satellite communication technology, transportation equipment can be tracked and controlled throughout the whole process, so as to respond quickly to market changes. At the end of 2000, Northwest International Telecommunication Co., Ltd. established a set of freight vehicle dispatching and management system for FaW Storage and Transportation Co., LTD. It combines GPS, GIS, GSM and other technologies to realize the whole-process tracking and monitoring of goods. The system can effectively avoid the vehicle empty load, reasonable and effective arrangement of the receiving and shipping time, greatly improve the utilization rate of vehicles, save transportation costs, and can make the enterprise or owners understand the goods in transportation all the situation, to a greater extent to meet the needs of customers for vehicle safety services, management and scheduling and information services. Since its establishment, the system has been running well and has played a very good effect. It provides a foundation for effective management of logistics and will be more widely used in the future.

Intelligent type truck AHV (AutonomousHandlingVehicle) will also be widely used. The shape of the AHV is similar to the AGVs in use today, but it is equipped with two universal robotic arms, which rely on industrial visual cameras to judge the position and size of the cargo as it works, and can move the cargo up to 200 to 300 kilograms as freely as a human. Ahvs can work together. If a load is too long or too heavy, more than two ARVs can work together to move it, which greatly reduces the number of ARVs and facilitates management. The combined operation of several AHVs of the same specification can greatly improve the operational capacity.

5. Formality and systematization

On the basis of single machine automation of logistics machinery and equipment, through the computer, various logistics machinery and equipment into a logistics machinery and equipment integrated system, through the control of the central control room, and logistics system coordination. This kind of logistics machinery and equipment has a high degree of automation and information processing function, which can store, calculate, logical judgment, transform and other processing information detected by the sensor, and then issue control instructions to the executive mechanism. This kind of logistics machinery equipment also has a better information input and output interface, to achieve all the information, accurate and reliable transmission in the whole logistics machinery integrated system. Logistics machinery and equipment through the system integration, can form the priority of different types of matching and combination, learn from each other, play a priority effect. The future will focus on the development of factory production and handling automation system, cargo distribution system, container handling system, cargo automatic sorting and handling system.
