Abstract

The modern logistics industry is grappling with significant challenges brought about by rapid market transformations. These challenges encompass workforce shortages, the increasing complexity of diverse logistics systems, environmental concerns arising from unregulated warehouse construction, and the scarcity of available land for development. In response to these pressing issues, this study introduced an automated logistics warehouse system that incorporated stackable bidirectional infinite-loop modules and employed a pre-transfer method. Extensive simulations rigorously validated the feasibility and effectiveness of this system, affirming its substantial capacity to enhance spatial utilization and operational efficiency within warehouses. Consequently, this study not only offers solutions to streamline transfer device routes, optimize storage space, reduce workforce demands, and contribute to economic gains, but also addresses labor shortages and land scarcity challenges. The overarching objective of this study was to provide pragmatic strategies for effectively tackling the multifaceted challenges confronting the logistics industry.
