Introduction: Adhering to the spirit of "German Craftsman" and becoming a leader in the two fields of industrial automation and information technology, this advanced automated storage solution provider has proven its position in the industry with its actual performance and empowered and upgraded manufacturing companies in various industries.

As a large national non-regional enterprise group, cookware R&D and manufacturing giant ASD (hereinafter referred to as: ASD) has successively acquired 6 robot integration application companies including Qianjiang Robotics, and then began to plan and give full play to the advantages of smart manufacturing and industrial robots. Integrate cookware production with smart manufacturing to create a world-leading smart new factory. On this occasion, a well-known European brand, ROBOTECH, which is committed to promoting the development of China's smart logistics industry with international technology, has won the attention of ASD with its international standard and cost-effective smart warehousing solutions. After a comprehensive understanding and comparison, ASD chose ROBOTECH to empower and upgrade its new smart factory.

The ASD intelligent manufacturing plant is located in the eastern plant area of ASD in Wenling, Zhejiang. The total project cost is 1 billion yuan. According to the plan, after the completion of the smart factory, the total construction area will reach 400,000 square meters, the labor cost will be reduced by 60%, and the annual production capacity is expected to increase by 2.5 times. At the same time, operating costs, R&D cycle, product defect rate and energy consumption per unit of output can be reduced by 20%. The goal is to build a high-quality modern cookware manufacturing base with international standards.

ASD's huge annual production capacity of 40 million sets makes the design and planning of the finished product warehouse of the No. 1 factory very important. The storage space of finished products is closely related to the production plan. How to rely on intelligence and automation to reduce the temporary storage area required for finished pallets and improve resource utilization and production levels? ROBOTECH handed in an answer sheet that attracted the attention of the industry.

In the overall plan for the finished product warehouse of the new ASD Smart Factory No. 1, ROBOTECH proposed to replace the original manual warehouse with an automated warehouse that is flexible, expandable, and cost-effective. 

Among them, ASRS is equipped with 6 sets of single-deep stacker systems and 4 sets of double-deep stacker systems, with a total of 18,160 pallet positions. ROBOTECH is equipped with a double-deep storage and retrieval device with a double-deep stacker, which realizes the functions of small space occupation and large storage of goods. At the same time, the single-depth stacker provides the storage density required by the smart factory, and can also extract a complete inventory unit for binding operations. The system can execute a single cycle of 40 pallets per hour, and the efficiency is amazing. .

During the execution of the project, ROBOTECH considered foresight. Considering the stable business growth of ASD in the future, ROBOTECH took special care in the selection of the stacker system. According to the production requirements of ASD, the star product PANTHER was flexibly customized to meet the requirements. ASD continuous high-throughput operating environment requirements. Up to now, this model of ROBOTECH has been iterated to the third generation of new products, with a running speed of up to 240m/min, an acceleration of up to 1m/s², and a maximum load of 1,500kg.

ASD stated that ROBOTECH has run through the entire project process with professional technology and a positive attitude. Relying on the finished product warehouse of Factory No. 1 created by ROBOTECH, ASD replaces manual labor in multiple links such as finished product delivery, warehousing, and material handling. While reducing labor costs, it also increases storage density and achieves "automation, informatization, and the international advanced level of "intelligence and flexibility".

ASD has a forward-looking layout of smart manufacturing. Its smart factory brings together the latest technologies and systems in the field of smart manufacturing. As a co-planner of ASD smart factory construction, ROBOTECH focuses on the efficiency and cost issues in enterprise production and looks forward to helping more companies Improve resource utilization and realize overall benefit improvement, which in turn promotes the vigorous development of the smart logistics industry.
