Project introduction and analysis:

Huawei's manufacturing business will be relocated from Shenzhen Bantian to Dongguan SSH Industrial Park, which will implement a supporting system that integrates automatic receipt, quality inspection, storage, sorting and delivery of Huawei's raw materials to the automated racking warehouse . Including: automatic transmission system, material sorting system, racking system, stacker crance system, conveyor system, business management and control system, bar code system, box conveying system, etc. design, production, transportation, loading and unloading, installation, commissioning, acceptance and delivery ,technical data, verification documents, after-sales service and other whole processes.

The logistics center adopts international and domestic leading technology and equipment, and a highly complex automated logistics system project integrating light, machinery, electricity and information. In line with the overall strategic thinking of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., it demonstrates Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.'s image of advancing with the times and modern logistics management capabilities.

New technologies and innovative management concepts incorporated in the solution process (highlights analysis)

① GTP platform

The GTP platform adopts the goods-to-person relay picking mode, which effectively saves the manual handling distance and improves the work efficiency. The design of this platform is fully ergonomic, effectively integrating the PTL picking mode and the automatic conveying mode. At the same time This design has the scalability of follow-up business.

② Interlayer

The mezzanine plan is designed to pre-process the bin business in advance, while effectively using the space of the logistics center building, improving the space utilization rate, and ensuring the area of the temporary storage area. The space is effectively used in the automated warehouse at the same level, and the secondary back-to-warehouse and out-of-warehouse operations of the bin business are set up, which increases the cargo space and improves the inventory capacity.

③ Side picking

The side picking area realizes a three-dimensional picking mode that integrates automatic storage, replenishment, and PTL picking. The relay picking mode is used to directly feed the production line.

④ Online picking of large items

For large items such as handle bars, direct online picking is realized, which improves work efficiency and saves temporary storage space for offline operations. At the same time, the design fully considers the countermeasures during peak hours of work, and designs a backup temporary storage picking platform.

⑤ Disaster recovery plan under special circumstances

The design of the entire Huawei logistics center adopts the first-level and second-level warehouse hierarchical management to ensure that the entire feeding system can have double protection against the supply interruption caused by temporary catastrophic conditions. Through parallel inventory management and multi-site picking in each functional area, It can effectively reduce the inability to pick materials caused by obstacles in a single site or functional area. At the beginning of the Huawei project design, the disaster prevention plan was fully considered to ensure that the entire logistics center can still supply materials to the production line in emergency situations.
