Introduction to Pallet Automated Conveying Systems
Pallet automated conveying systems are essential components of automated warehouses, connecting various logistics stations while providing temporary storage and buffering functions for materials. By effectively utilizing these systems, the connection between different processes can be tightened, improving production efficiency and making them indispensable in the logistics chain.
Types of Pallet Automated Conveying Systems
In automated warehouse systems, pallet automated conveying systems generally include conveying, receiving, processing, and storage functions. They also often incorporate additional features such as dimension checking, weighing, and automatic identification.
Conveyor Mode
The conveyor mode is composed of various automated conveyors, such as roller, chain, wheel, plate, and lifting table conveyors.
Reciprocating Shuttle Car Mode
Reciprocating shuttle cars are a newer type of rail-guided material handling vehicle. They offer a simple, convenient solution for certain applications, such as multi-aisle warehouses.
Circular Shuttle Car Mode
Circular shuttle car mode involves shuttle cars arranged in a loop, allowing for both horizontal and vertical transportation.
AGV Mode
AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) mode offers a high degree of flexibility for pallet conveying, particularly over long distances.
