With the rapid development of the hardware manufacturing industry, the demand of enterprises for warehousing and logistics is also rising. How to use cost-effective means to increase storage capacity and improve logistics efficiency in limited space has become a common challenge for many hardware manufacturing enterprises. Today, we would like to share with you how a hardware manufacturing enterprise customer successfully solved the problems in the warehousing logistics link by introducing Zowell Intelligent Forklift Narrow Aisle Series forklifts, realizing the logistics solution case of ping efficiency upgrade and efficiency upgrade.

NO.1 Project Background

The customer is an enterprise focusing on the research and development, production and sales of hardware products, and the company's products are supplied to Siemens, Midea and other internationally renowned enterprises. With the continuous expansion of the business scale, the original warehousing and logistics system can not meet the needs of enterprise development, the customer is in urgent need of a logistics solution that can quickly increase the capacity of the warehouse and improve the speed of logistics operation in a limited space.

NO.2 Project challenges

Hardware products are of various types and specifications, the traditional rack storage method cannot fully utilize the horizontal and vertical space of the warehouse, the storage space is tight, and it is difficult to meet the current business expansion needs.

Customers have frequent in and out of the warehouse needs, the traditional forklift equipment needs to complete a few straight line, turning movements to realize the goods indoor and outdoor transit, the whole set of in and out of the warehouse process is too cumbersome, time-consuming, and slow delivery of orders.

Hardware products belong to precision parts, the stability of the storage and handling process requires a high degree of stability, if the fork pickup is not accurate or narrow aisle transportation process impact shelves, will increase the cost of hardware loss.

NO.3 Advantages of Zowell Solutions

In response to the customer's needs, combined with the existing warehouse conditions, Zowell intelligent forklifts to provide two sets of man down three-way forklift trucks with narrow aisle racking logistics solutions, the specific program and advantages are as follows:

Zowell designed a narrow aisle racking layout for the customer, with a rack height of 6m and an aisle width of only 1.65m between goods, making full use of the warehouse's vertical and lateral space. Assisted by two man-down three-way forklift trucks with a lifting height of 7m, it realizes storage capacity enhancement in the limited warehouse space through high-density storage, and at the same time facilitates the realization of zonal storage for various types of products, which can easily cope with the diversified storage needs of the hardware enterprises in the present and the future.

Man-down three-way forklift adopts three-way fork, the fork can be rotated 180 °, in the aisle to keep the direction of the body remains unchanged can also be easily completed on both sides of the high shelves access work. Compared with the traditional forklift, it eliminates a large number of complex operations of turning and changing directions, and significantly improves the efficiency of cargo access.

The Zowell team laid buried magnetic strips in the aisle, eliminating the need for forklift operators to manually steer the direction of the forklift, and allowing the forklift to be centered in the aisle by virtue of the magnetic strips' navigation, avoiding travel deviations and impacts on shelves due to poor operating techniques.

Equipped with fork monitoring camera + horizontal laser, forklift operators can quickly determine the fork height and align the pallet position through the fork camera and horizontal laser line, further enhancing the accuracy of cargo access.

The combination of the two effectively reduces the risk of cargo damage and provides better protection for employee safety, which is especially suitable for hardware companies that require a high degree of accuracy in accessing transportation.
