In response to the practical needs of production development and the reality of technological advancements, automated warehouses began to emerge in the early 1950s. The development of automated warehouses and the rise of high-rise warehouses were outcomes of post-World War II production technology advancements. In 1950, the United States produced the first manually controlled bridge crane stacker, and simultaneously proposed the concept of high-rise shelves, which was considered the prototype of automated warehouses. After the 1960s, tunnel stackers gradually replaced bridge stackers. Since then, the usage scope and performance of stackers have seen significant development.
The stacker is a crucial component of the automated 3D warehouse system. It serves as the executing element of the entire system. During inventory operations, it accurately stores goods from the in/out stations into designated storage spaces and retrieves them from storage to the in/out positions on the picking platform. Regardless of the type of stacker, it is typically composed of basic parts such as horizontal conveyance mechanisms, lifting mechanisms, loading platforms, fork mechanisms, frames, and electrical equipment. Although each manufacturer has its own originality and structural differences, it can be said that all stackers are fundamentally similar. All stackers are essentially just frames, loading platforms, telescopic forks, tracking, and control systems. They are products of the so-called high-level, high-speed, and high-density storage concept.
For manufacturing companies, recruiting for forklift operators has become increasingly challenging as this generation's youth is growing more averse to hardship, filth, fatigue, and other issues. Older individuals are unable to perform the job, and manual handling and stacking are no longer meeting production demands. Thus, the era of machine replacement has arrived. More and more companies are opting for fully automatic stackers, which can be customized without standard limitations! Durable, easy to operate, cost-effective, they replace manual stacking, ensuring accurate stacking and can be customized to meet specific product stacking needs.
In various intelligent automated production lines, automatic palletizing robots have become an essential piece of equipment, playing a crucial role in a wide range of productions. Fully automatic palletizing robots are mainly used in the packaging process on production lines. They not only enhance a company's productivity but also reduce the overall costs of the production process. They are essential equipment for industrial enterprises and large shopping centers. Fully automatic palletizing robots contribute to the refinement and digital management of enterprises, lower costs, and save capital. Therefore, fully automatic palletizing robots hold a significant position in a company's automated equipment.
The fully automatic stacking robot is versatile, accurate, fast, efficient, with high stability and operational efficiency, featuring a compact installation space, suitable for use in small areas. A series of functions in the stacker robot makes it a powerful alternative to manual operation equipment.
