Investigation on panel material picking technology for furniture in automated raw material warehouses

Abstract

The integrated development of the global economy has prompted the manufacturing industry of China to enter the era of intelligence, and manufacturing in the furniture manufacturing industry has gradually realized the transformation and upgrading from manual or semi-automation to automation and informatization. The traditional storage mode of receiving materials has been unable to coordinate and match the efficiency of its upstream supply and downstream processing. In order to coordinate production, reduce management costs, and achieve zero inventory, this paper integrates the common needs of the market, enterprises, actual production, and storage conditions. In addition, it designs a technical solution for the collection of sheet materials in furniture enterprises based on the environment foundation of automated three-dimensional warehouses. The research results show that the collation algorithm proposed in this study can reduce the amount of sheet material collated by 152 sheets, improve the pallet utilization rate by up to 21.6%, and increase the storage space utilization rate by up to 22.7%.
