With the acceleration of the pace of modern life, beverages, as an important part of fast-moving consumer goods, continue to have strong market demand. From traditional bottled beverages to emerging diversified categories such as tea and juice, the beverage industry is becoming increasingly competitive. This not only prompts enterprises to continuously launch new products to meet the increasingly diverse taste needs of consumers, but also puts forward higher requirements for the production, logistics, warehousing and other links of beverage enterprises. Especially in warehouse management, how to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure product freshness and quality stability has become an important challenge for beverage companies.

Project Background:

Since its establishment, a well-known domestic food and beverage giant has won the trust of consumers with its diversified product line and excellent quality. However, with the increasingly fierce competition in the market, how to improve logistics efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure the stability of the supply chain has become an urgent problem for the company to solve.

In recent years, with the rapid development and wide application of intelligent logistics technology, the company has keenly grasped the pulse of market changes and began to actively build a smart warehouse network across the country. In order to better meet the market demand and improve logistics efficiency and service quality, the company chose Newamstar Integration and ROBO as the project partner to carry out the planning and design of the new warehouse in Jinan, and jointly built a 10,000-square-meter large-scale intelligent beverage warehouse by introducing ROBO automation core equipment stacker crane system.

Challenges:

The company's original warehousing system at the Jinan base faced multiple challenges such as insufficient storage space, low efficiency, and high labor costs. This not only affects production efficiency, but also poses a threat to its market competitiveness.

ROBO solutions：

In order to ensure efficient cargo transportation, ROBO equipped the project with 16 rail roadway stackers, including 12 single-deep stackers and 4 double-deep stackers, which are mainly responsible for the storage and retrieval of goods inside the warehouse. The pallet size of the system is L1200W1000H1610mm, which fully meets the specific standards of the company's products, thus ensuring accurate and efficient access to goods. The height of the stacker crane is 26.6 meters, with a super load capacity of 1200KG, the horizontal running speed is up to 160 m/min, and the lifting speed is also up to 40 m/min, which fully meets the needs of the enterprise for high-density and high-efficiency cargo access and transportation, maximizes the use of warehouse storage space, significantly improves the storage density of goods, and optimizes the spatial layout.

Project Implementation Effect:

Leap in storage capacity: Through the optimized layout and efficient management of the intelligent vertical warehouse system, the storage capacity has been increased by an astonishing 350%, providing a solid backing for future business expansion.

Soaring shipping efficiency: The intelligent system makes the shipping process smoother, improving the delivery efficiency by 30%, ensuring fast response and on-time delivery of orders.

Labor cost reduction: Intelligent automation replaces part of manual operations, reduces labor demand, reduces labor costs by 50%, and saves a lot of costs for enterprises.

Operation safety improvement: automatic operation reduces on-site safety hazards, the operation area is more orderly, and the operation safety level of the entire warehouse has been significantly improved, effectively avoiding possible safety accidents.

The implementation of the food and beverage giant Jinan's intelligent three-dimensional warehouse not only enhances its own competitiveness, but also sets a model of intelligent and efficient warehouse management for the entire food and beverage industry. With the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of the scope of application, intelligent warehousing will become an inevitable trend in the development of the industry.

In the future, ROBO will continue to deepen the food and beverage industry, continue to explore and innovate, and empower enterprises with smarter and more efficient smart logistics solutions.
