The core advantages of automated stereoscopic library operating system

The operating system is the foundation for achieving the efficient and precise characteristics of automated stereo libraries. Its advantages are reflected in:

1. Ultimate efficiency and throughput optimization

Intelligent task scheduling: The core algorithms of OS, such as stacker crane scheduling algorithm and path optimization algorithm, can process massive access requests in real time, perform batch order merging, and dynamic path planning. It will enable a stacker crane to simultaneously complete the "take" and "put" operations in one trip, or assign tasks to multiple devices to avoid conflicts and waiting, maximizing equipment utilization.

Concurrent processing and collaborative control: The OS can simultaneously command the collaborative operation of multiple devices such as stacker cranes, shuttle cars, conveyor lines, elevators, AGV/AMR, etc., like a symphony conductor, ensuring seamless connection of all links, eliminating bottlenecks, and achieving continuous and smooth material flow.

Data analysis and prediction: Advanced OS integrates machine learning capabilities to analyze historical inbound and outbound data, predict the storage and retrieval requirements of high-frequency materials, and place them closer to the outbound port in advance (location optimization), thereby reducing future operation time.

2. Unparalleled precision and reliability

Full process digitization and traceability: OS manages a virtual digital twin library that corresponds one-to-one with physical locations. The identity, location, and status (such as storage time, batch, expiration date) of each pallet and box are accurately recorded, achieving 100% inventory accuracy and full process traceability.

Closed loop control and error correction: Through real-time interaction with hardware such as sensors (photoelectric, ranging), encoders, RFID/QR code scanners, etc., the OS forms a closed-loop control system. Once any deviation in equipment operation is detected (such as slight inaccuracies in fork positioning), immediate fine-tuning and correction will be carried out to ensure a success rate of over 99.9% and eliminate manual errors.

3. High degree of automation and "black light" capability

Unmanned operation: OS enables the entire process from warehousing, scanning, measuring, storage, to picking and distribution without human intervention, achieving a true "black light warehouse" and significantly reducing dependence on manpower and corresponding labor costs.

Automatic exception handling: Modern AS/RS OS has powerful exception handling mechanisms. When a task fails (such as scanning or picking up failure), equipment communication is interrupted, or there is a minor malfunction, the system can automatically initiate preset processes (such as retry, changing storage locations, alarm prompts) to ensure stable operation or safe shutdown of the system under non ideal conditions.

4. Excellent space utilization and inventory management

Dynamic location management: OS can dynamically allocate the most suitable location based on the size, weight, and frequency of inbound and outbound (ABC classification) of materials, achieving maximum space utilization. This cannot be achieved with a fixed location manual warehouse.

Refined inventory control: OS supports complex inventory management strategies such as First In First Out (FIFO) and First Expired First Out (FEFO), which can be automatically enforced by the system, making it particularly suitable for industries with strict batch requirements (such as pharmaceuticals and food).

5. Powerful data integration and decision support
