China Resources Snow Beer (China) Co., Ltd. (full text abbreviation: China Resources Snow Beer) was established in 1993. It is a national professional beer company that produces and operates beer. It is headquartered in Beijing, China, and has a high-end brand matrix of "Chinese brands + international brands". Since 2006, the total sales volume of China Resources Snow Beer has continuously ranked first in the Chinese beer market. From 2014 to 2022, Snow Beer has won the C-BPI beer industry brand ranking for nine consecutive years.

Behind such excellent sales performance are the requirements for efficient logistics. To this end, China Resources Snow Beer built the Snow Anhui Huaiyuan Modern Logistics Center in Huaiyuan County, Anhui in 2020. It is understood that the project has applied automated and intelligent logistics equipment technology on a large scale, using high-level three-dimensional automatic access systems, loop-through conveyor lines, AGV trolleys, and goods-to-person picking systems. The sorting and conveying capabilities have achieved a significant breakthrough. The picking capacity is increased by 40%, which not only improves production efficiency but also reduces production costs.

ROBOTECH provides the core of the warehouse - stacker products

The well-known integrator Jingsong Intelligent is fully responsible for the project's vertical warehouse AS/RS and related supporting systems, bottling warehouse, canned warehouse picking equipment system, loop conveying system and related services, including bottling warehouse, canned warehouse For these two major storage areas, ROBOTECH provides warehouse system solutions and core equipment. Compared with traditional logistics, this project has realized unmanned operations in all aspects from ordering to transportation, which facilitates the data integration and application of product information flow, logistics, and capital flow, and realizes the intelligentization of in-factory logistics.

This three-dimensional warehouse uses a total of 27 sets of rail tunnel stacker systems, 18 sets of bottle warehouses, with a total of more than 13,000 cargo spaces in two warehouse areas; 9 sets of tin packaging warehouses, both in two warehouse areas, with a total of about 7,000 warehouses. Bit.

According to reports, since the load requirement of the project is 3,000kg and the flow demand is very large, the traditional single-station design is difficult to meet the efficiency requirements, so a dual-station design is needed to meet the access flow demand (two pallets of goods are stored and withdrawn at each time, Compared with the simplex machine type, the access efficiency can be increased by 45%). For this project, ROBOTECH selected the Bull stacker series, which can meet the requirements of larger loads and continuous high-flow operating environments. It is driven by a walking asynchronous servo motor, with a running speed of up to 180m/min and an acceleration of 0.5m/s².

In addition, the project uses random storage to further improve the efficiency of entering and exiting the warehouse. It is understood that in the project, the connection between the loop conveyor line and the stacker system is that when the goods on the loop conveyor line reach the storage area, a photoelectric signal will be triggered. After receiving the signal, the stacker will pick up the goods and store them randomly, and at the same time, the barcode information will be stored, storage time and storage location are fed back to WCS system for archiving.

The company achieves cost reduction and efficiency improvement, setting an example for the industry

According to reports, the completion of this project will be one of the modern beer manufacturing parks with the highest degree of automation, the strongest intelligence, and the most widely used technology in China’s beer industry. This project will support the business development of China Resources Snow in the next 5 to 10 years, achieve high automation, high intelligence, and high efficiency, create a safe and green production environment, and realize the standardization and intelligent transformation of the traditional logistics model, from supply to production. , sales and traceability have improved the efficiency and service level of the entire logistics operation.

Moreover, as one of the projects to promote modern standardized logistics, the China Resources Snow Beer fully-automatic three-dimensional warehousing project is conducive to driving the development of the industrial chain and equipment upgrading and transformation, realizing the interoperability and exchange of information, and achieving cost savings and efficiency in the entire industry and supply chain. Improvement will serve as a model for the development of the entire industry.
