The development trend of logistics machinery and equipment

With the expansion of production and logistics scale, as well as the improvement of logistics automation, logistics machinery and equipment are increasingly widely used and play a greater role in modern production and logistics; Modern production and logistics have put forward higher requirements for logistics machinery and equipment. The improvement of modern mechanical equipment design capabilities and the rapid progress of science and technology have led to a sharp increase in the technical, knowledge, and cultural content of logistics mechanical equipment. Logistics mechanical equipment is undergoing a huge transformation. In the new century, the technical performance of logistics machinery and equipment will enter a new stage of development, and logistics machinery and equipment will inevitably achieve greater development

Looking at the current development status of logistics machinery and equipment, it can be seen that in order to meet the needs of modern logistics, logistics machinery and equipment have the following development trends:

1. Large scale and high-speed

Large scale refers to the increasing capacity, scale, and capability of equipment, while high-speed refers to the greatly accelerated operation speed, recognition speed, and computational speed of equipment. The rapid development of modern society and economy has led to the continuous expansion of production and logistics scale. In order to improve operational efficiency and scale efficiency, the demand for large and high-speed logistics machinery is constantly increasing. The lifting capacity, load capacity, productivity, and operational capacity of logistics machinery and equipment are increasing, and the working speed is getting faster and faster.

2. Practicalization and lightweighting

Logistics machinery and equipment are important material and technological foundations for modern and automated logistics. Logistics machinery and equipment are required to be easy to use, easy to maintain and operate, with excellent durability, fault free performance, good economy, as well as high safety and reliability. Therefore, in the future, more attention will be paid to the development and use of logistics machinery and equipment with good performance, low cost, and high reliability. Some logistics machinery and equipment are used in general occasions, and their work is not heavy. This type of equipment has a large batch size and a wide range of uses. Considering comprehensive benefits, it can reduce the external height, simplify the structure, reduce costs, and also reduce the operating costs of the equipment. This lightweight device will have faster development in the future.

3. Specialization and Generalization

Logistics is a product of socio-economic development and will inevitably exhibit diverse characteristics with the development of the social economy. The diversified characteristics reflect the diversified demand for logistics machinery and equipment, thus making logistics machinery and equipment have a variety of varieties and constantly updated. The systematization and consistency of logistics activities, as well as the fast and flexible transportation and distribution, require some equipment to develop towards specialization, while also requiring some equipment to develop towards generalization and standardization. Specialized equipment meets special needs with its unique functions and can achieve optimal effectiveness. The functions, performance, and adaptability of specialized cranes such as railways, ships, and containers will continue to increase; Container ships, bulk carriers, concrete transport vehicles, tank trucks, etc. are widely used and have low costs. Some universal equipment can also achieve rapid conversion of logistics operations, greatly improving logistics efficiency. For example, large container trailers can carry all sizes of containers transported by sea, air, and railway. In the future, universal equipment will also be further developed.

4. Automation and Intelligence

The combination of mechanical technology and electronic technology, and the application of advanced microelectronics, power electronics, fiber optic cable technology, hydraulic technology, and fuzzy control technology to the driving and control systems of machinery, to achieve automation and intelligence of logistics machinery and equipment, will be the future development direction. For example, the new generation of electrical control devices for large and efficient cranes has developed into fully electronic digital control systems, consisting of fully digital control drive devices, programmable controllers, fault diagnosis and data management systems, digital control given detection devices, etc. The application of advanced technology enables cranes to have higher flexibility, thereby improving the comprehensive automation level of single machines. The operation of transportation equipment is increasingly reliant on instruments, signals, and intelligent driving assistance systems. The development and application of auto drive system system in sea transportation and air transportation, delivery and pick-up trolley in automated warehouse, and intelligent transportation system (ITS) in highway transportation will attract extensive attention from all countries. In addition, with the help of satellite communication technology, transportation equipment can be tracked and controlled throughout the entire process, responding quickly to market changes. At the end of 2000, Northwest International Telecom Co., Ltd. established a freight vehicle dispatch management system for FAW Storage and Transportation Company. It combines multiple technologies such as GPS, GIS, GSM, etc., and can achieve full tracking and monitoring of goods. This system can effectively avoid empty vehicles, arrange pick-up and shipment times reasonably and effectively, greatly improve vehicle utilization, save transportation costs, and enable enterprises or shippers to understand the entire situation of goods during transportation, maximizing customer needs for vehicle safety services, management scheduling, and information services. Since its establishment, the system has been running well and has played a good role, providing a foundation for effective logistics management and will be widely applied in the future.

The Intelligent Handling Vehicle (AHV) will also be widely used. The shape of AHV is similar to the AGV currently used, but it is equipped with two universal robotic arms. During operation, it relies on an industrial camera that plays a visual role to judge the position and size of goods. Like humans, it can freely move goods weighing 200-300 kilograms with the robotic arm. AHV has the function of collaborative operation. When the transported goods are too long or heavy, two or more ARVs can work together to handle them, which greatly reduces the specifications of ARVs and facilitates management. The joint operation of several AHVs of the same specification can significantly improve their operational capabilities.

5. Complete set and systematization

On the basis of single machine automation of logistics machinery and equipment, various logistics machinery and equipment are integrated into a logistics machinery and equipment system through computers, which is coordinated and coordinated with the logistics system through the control of the central control room. This type of logistics machinery equipment has a high degree of automation and information processing functions. It can store, calculate, logically judge, transform and process various information detected by sensors, and then send control instructions to the executing mechanism. This type of logistics machinery equipment also has good information input and output interfaces, achieving complete, accurate, and reliable transmission of information throughout the entire logistics machinery integration system. Logistics machinery and equipment can form the best matching and combination of different models through system integration, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and play the best role. In the future, the focus of development will be on factory production and handling automation systems, cargo distribution and distribution systems, container loading and unloading systems, and automatic sorting and handling systems for goods.
