With the development of technology and changes in customer demand, e-commerce in China is entering a new era with mobile and scenario consumption as the theme. Different scenarios generate different demands, different needs give rise to different experience requirements, and experiential consumption is thoroughly stimulated, and there is also continuous innovation in e-commerce models, so e-commerce logistics has become a new blue ocean in the competition for the market.
Recently, Vipshop and BlueSword Logistics Technology Co., Ltd. held the "Launch of Honeycomb E-Commerce 4.0 System" in Vipshop South China Logistics Center. At the conference, Vipshop officially demonstrated its latest automated warehousing system - Honeycomb 4.0 system, which can optimize and improve the logistics system and solve some problems caused by the traditional logistics operation mode.
As a well-known outlet e-commerce company, Vipshop's logistics system and operation mode are very different from those of e-commerce warehouses that generally sell in a regular manner. The logistics operation efficiency of "fast in and fast out" under the special sale becomes an important guarantee to support the online transaction volume, and therefore puts forward higher requirements for Vipshop's warehouse operation.
Vipshop's senior vice president Tang Yizhi said, "Vipshop has made logistics automation a top priority, pursuing a simple and practical workflow, striving to reduce the duplication of labor and time costs incurred by employees in the picking and packing processes, and to achieve resource optimization, ultimately providing consumers with the highest-end shopping experience and the highest quality service guarantee. "
The automated warehousing system of Vipshop - Honeycomb 4.0 system is an innovative solution tailored to the pains and difficulties of warehousing and logistics in the e-commerce industry, completely subverting the traditional "centralized logistics system" and representing the most advanced level of e-commerce It represents the cutting-edge level of logistics automation for e-commerce enterprises.
Full-range machine picking, realizing "goods to people" type picking
Unlike the "people looking for goods" picking method of general warehousing systems, the Hive system uses machine carts to pick goods throughout, including automatic picking carts in three dimensions: aisle shuttles (vertical), transfer shuttles (horizontal), and lift meters (three-dimensional). In machine picking mode, warehouse staff no longer need to pick manually, so order processing is much more efficient. Under this system operation, a staff member's processing speed is 1 order line in 10 seconds, and an hour can handle 360 order lines, which is several times more efficient than a traditional warehouse.
High density storage, the system volume rate is 10 times the traditional
Because the system uses fully automated machine picking, the hive will not be subject to the limitations of manual picking (such as shelf height, shelf spacing, etc.), so the overall shelf arrangement is very dense. While a traditional warehouse can store up to two totes per square meter, the Hive system can store 20 totes, which is 10 times the volume rate of the traditional system.
Integrated warehousing and sorting, saving operational area
The general warehouse is divided into a storage area and a picking area, with a ratio of 1:1 (some picking areas are even larger than the storage area), which ultimately results in a huge overall warehouse area and underutilization, while the Hive storage system combines the storage area and picking area into one, saving the operating area and also increasing the speed of picking.
