Nowadays, the trend of smart warehouses is growing strongly and is being used more and more popularly. There are many modern technologies used to improve the efficiency of smart warehouse models. Next, let's learn about some of the most basic technologies today with Intech Group!

1. Automated Picking Tools

There are many different technologies that can be used to enhance automated picking processes. For example, voice automated order picking/ robotic order picking. In addition, the pick-to-light method is the most accurate and efficient method today. These technologies also use advanced barcode options that integrate perfectly with information management software, thereby providing the fastest and most accurate automatic reporting experience.

2. AGV - High-tech Robot

With a simple, modern structure, AGV is developing as technology advances, the models that have been on the market in recent times have proven to be safer, more efficient in the working process, bringing faster, more accurate than manual labor.

Some important functions of AGV include: racks, pallets, other container storage, and even the functions of controlling and automating the entire receiving and returning process. AGV is capable of pulling pallets weighing up to 500kg at speeds of up to 50m/min smoothly and gently to the exact location you need. AGV also has the advantage of working 24/7 and almost tirelessly.

3. IoT (Internet of Things)

The Internet of Things or IoT is a broader concept than a single technology concept, but it is often incorporated into the world's most efficient smart warehouses. When IoT is applied to transmit information to control many moving components, both manual and automatic, IoT helps optimize all processes so that their data exists in a single, easily accessible network. This helps optimize inventory control processes, worker scheduling, better warehouse operations, thereby increasing customer experience.

4. Collaborative robots: Cobots - collaborative robots

Cobots are one of the components that are increasingly being invested in and popular in smart warehouses. Along with AGVs, 3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis and 6-axis cobots are increasingly used for picking and unloading bags and goods from AGV pallets or conveyors into pre-programmed storage locations and vice versa.

Cobots allow warehouses to retain many of your processes and infrastructure designs while still benefiting from optimized workflows.

5. Automated Inventory Control Platforms

In the smart warehouse, inventory control technology, when used in conjunction with a handful of other technologies, takes the labor, time, and guesswork out of traditional inventory control. To do this, most of these platforms are built to automatically count inventory and aggregate information for fast, real-time reporting that is extremely accurate and timely, and can be accessed remotely to monitor, audit, manage, and extract data from a smart warehouse.

An automated warehouse management system is a comprehensive software system that organizes all important information and data into one platform that is easily accessible to internal users as well as any member of your supply chain. This data organization allows for instant reporting, which, when used wisely, can lead to effective planning.

6. AS/RS Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems

Automated storage and retrieval systems including conveyor systems, automatic conveyors, loading conveyors, cranes, lifting systems, etc. have appeared in recent years. This technology helps shorten work completion time and improve accuracy, but they are still often considered expensive, cumbersome and somewhat inflexible technology. Today, AS/RS is more beautiful and brings users many outstanding benefits such as: reducing/limiting labor costs, flexible changes with modular structures and increasing accuracy.i cho người dùng nhiều lợi ích vượt trội như: giảm/hạn chế chi phí nhân công lao động, thay đổi linh hoạt với cấu tạo module và tăng độ chính xác.
