In recent years, with the rapid development of the e-commerce and express delivery industries, the market demand for automatic conveying and sorting equipment, which is one of the core equipment of the logistics system, has risen sharply, and it is widely used in production logistics systems or logistics distribution centers in various industries. According to the structure of the sorting device, the common traditional automatic sorters mainly include slider sorters, oblique wheel sorters, cross belt sorters, swing arm sorters and other types. With the changes in market demand and the development of technology, some sorting equipment with a higher degree of flexibility have emerged in recent years, such as modular sorting systems and AGV sorting systems.
Current status of automatic sorting equipment
In the early years, the logistics sector in my country involved sorting equipment mainly in the postal, tobacco and pharmaceutical industries. These industries have high market demand, sufficient funds, and the ability and motivation to use automated and semi-automated equipment to reduce the intensity of manual labor and improve operational efficiency.
Traditional cross belt sorter
In recent years, with the development of China's e-commerce, the growth rate of China's express parcels has developed at an unconventional rate, which puts forward higher requirements for fast sorting. E-commerce logistics has obvious seasonal characteristics. On Double Eleven and holidays each year, due to the promotion activities of e-commerce platforms, express parcels often explode. As a result, courier companies often burst warehouses, which also greatly promotes automatic sorting. The application of technology in the field of e-commerce logistics and express delivery. The e-commerce field is the field with the most widely used sorting technology and equipment in China, the fastest technical iteration upgrade, and the most black technology. In recent years, new technologies such as module belt sorting and robots have continued to emerge, and the sorting machine and logistics data system have been continuously integrated and innovated. , Is evolving in the direction of flexibility, modularization and intelligence.
Flexible and easy to install modular solution
Realizing the flexibility of the logistics system is a very obvious development trend in the logistics equipment industry today. The specific field of the transportation and sorting system is mainly reflected in the modularization of production design. In this regard, many manufacturers are actively exploring. As a leading logistics equipment core system and solution provider in the field of linear sorting, Lu Hui has been committed to the development and production of new intelligent tools and new materials such as modular intelligent sorting systems, information collection systems, and new material conveying chutes.
Modular products and customized services can meet a variety of fast and convenient installation needs. By using modular sorting equipment, customers can greatly shorten the project planning and installation time, plug and play, and standardized components can facilitate on-site installation and subsequent maintenance. Not only that, the new technology will also greatly improve the ability of equipment to be retrofitted, and customers can flexibly modify existing equipment according to future needs, thereby reducing customer investment costs. Luhui’s modular intelligent sorting system includes modular belt splitter confluence series and high-speed splitter series. It is independently developed by Luhui and has independent intellectual property rights. It is in the leading position in the domestic linear sorting field and is a high-efficiency , High-precision, high-adaptability, and intelligent sorting solutions. It adopts modular design and assembly, can be flexibly customized according to the plan, suitable for a variety of scenarios, and can be continuously sorted in large quantities, which greatly saves the site area, equipment configuration cost and installation cost, and effectively improves the sorting efficiency and installation efficiency.
Application scenarios of modular intelligent sorting system
Solutions such as traditional cross-belt sorter and slider sorting have strong rigidity and high cost, which is a large investment for many companies. Especially in the current situation of rapid changes in the logistics and express industry and strong seasonal fluctuations, flexible automated sorting solutions are what the industry needs most.
Based on a modular and customized modular sorting system, it has small site requirements and can be flexibly customized according to plan requirements. It has high sorting efficiency, extremely low operating failure rate, easy installation and disassembly, and convenient maintenance. It can be used not only for e-commerce outbound sorting, but also for sorting in various scenarios such as express logistics distribution and distribution centers.
1 E-commerce sorting matrix
There are generally two sources of goods in e-commerce sorting centers, one is delivery in the storage area, and the other is sorting of incoming goods. Due to the large sorting volume, the single linear sorting efficiency cannot meet the requirements, so a multi-vertical and multi-horizontal matrix method is adopted. Each vertical corresponds to multiple arrivals (in-warehouse), and each horizontal corresponds to multiple exits (lines). This greatly increases the working space, thereby improving the sorting efficiency. Mainly used in large-scale sorting centers and hub transfers.
For example, in an e-commerce sorting center, six automatic sorting lines composed of Luhui ball module belts adopt a 6*8 matrix design (that is, 6 sorting lines, each line has 8 grid openings). During the November period, from November 11th to 13th, the total number of goods placed in 3 days was nearly 890,000 pieces, and the sorting success rate was over 98.9%, ensuring the smooth operation of the sorting center during the big promotion period.
2 Express logistics sorting
It is mainly used for transfer and distribution sorting in the area, such as express city-level distribution center, terminal distribution center, and diversion to various stations in the area. Since the area or terminal distribution center usually arrives in the early morning and the time is relatively fixed, and the time for sorting is short and concentrated, it is difficult for pure manual sorting to complete the operation within the specified time. If you increase the sorting staff and only work a few hours a day, it is not cost-effective. In this case, by constructing 1-2 automatic sorting lines, equipped with one or more modular belts or high-speed diverters, the sorting operation can be completed efficiently and manual operation is greatly reduced.
3 Sorting of small and medium venues
Small and medium-sized venues generally point out that the space of warehouses or sorting centers is not conducive to the installation of traditional sorting equipment. The amount of sorting packages is not large, tens of thousands of pieces per day, which does not reach the capacity of traditional sorting equipment, but it is more suitable for automatic sorting. Scenarios with big demand. Such as small warehouse distribution, storage, distribution and sorting of clothing, books, food, etc.
With the application of the Internet of Things and information technology in the logistics industry, the transportation and sorting technology is developing in the direction of intelligence and flexibility. Through the standardization and modularization of products, it can meet the different needs of the market and accelerate the pre-project planning, installation and post-maintenance. Speed, prolong the life cycle of products, thereby reducing the investment cost of enterprises, maximizing customer value, and accelerating the automation and intelligent transformation and upgrading of the logistics industry.
