Development trend of logistics machinery and equipment

With the expansion of the scale of production and logistics, as well as logistics automation to improve the degree of logistics machinery and equipment in the modernization of production and logistics in the application of more and more widely, the role is also more and more; and modern production and modern logistics and logistics machinery and equipment to put forward higher requirements. Modern machinery and equipment design capabilities, the rapid progress of science and technology, making logistics machinery and equipment technology, knowledge content, cultural content increased dramatically, logistics machinery and equipment is experiencing a huge change. In the new century, the technical performance of logistics machinery and equipment will enter a new stage of development, logistics machinery and equipment will achieve greater development!

Throughout the development of logistics machinery and equipment can be seen, in order to meet the needs of modern logistics, logistics machinery and equipment have the following development trends.

1.Large size and high speed

　　Large-scale refers to the capacity, scale and ability of the equipment is getting bigger and bigger, and high-speed refers to the speed of the equipment, running speed, recognition speed, computing speed is greatly accelerated. The rapid economic development of modern society, making the production and logistics scale continues to expand, in order to improve operational efficiency and economies of scale, large, high-speed logistics machinery demand continues to grow. Logistics machinery and equipment lifting capacity, load capacity, productivity, operating capacity is getting bigger and bigger, and the working speed is getting faster and faster.

2.Utility and lightweighting

　　Logistics machinery and equipment is an important material and technical basis for modernized and automated logistics. Logistics machinery and equipment requires easy use, easy maintenance, operation, excellent durability, trouble-free and good economy, as well as high safety and reliability. Therefore, the future will pay more attention to the development of logistics machinery and equipment with good performance, low cost and high reliability. There are some logistics machinery and equipment that are used in general-purpose occasions where the work is not heavy. This type of equipment in large batches, wide range of uses, considering the overall benefits can reduce the height of the appearance, simplify the structure, reduce the cost, but also to reduce the operating costs of the equipment. This kind of lightweight equipment will have faster development in the future.

3.Specialization and generalization

　　Logistics is a product of social and economic development, inevitably with the development of social and economic diversification. Diversified characteristics reflect the diversification of the demand for logistics machinery and equipment, so that logistics machinery and equipment with a variety of varieties and . Constant updating. Logistics activities of the systematic, consistent and transport and distribution of fast, mobile, requiring some equipment to the specialization of the direction of development, and at the same time require some equipment to the generalization and standardization of the direction of development. Specialized equipment to meet the special needs of the unique features, can play the best utility. Such as railroads, ships, containers and other special cranes will continue to increase the function, performance and adaptability; container ships, bulk carriers, concrete trucks, tanker trucks, etc. are widely used, low cost. Some generalized equipment can also realize the rapid conversion of logistics operations, greatly improving the efficiency of logistics operations, such as large container trailers can be transported by sea, air, rail, all sizes of containers, the future generalized equipment will be further developed.

4.Automation and Intelligence

　　The combination of mechanical and electronic technology, advanced microelectronics technology, power electronics technology, fiber optic cable technology, hydraulic technology, fuzzy control technology applied to the mechanical drive and control system to realize the automation and intelligence of logistics machinery and equipment will be the future direction of development. For example, a new generation of electrical control devices for large-scale high-efficiency cranes has developed into an all-electronic digital control system, consisting of all-digital control drives, programmable controllers, troubleshooting and data management systems, digital manipulation of the given detection and other devices. The application of advanced technology makes the crane more flexible, thus improving the comprehensive automation level of the single machine. Transportation equipment operation more shifts to rely on instrumentation, signals and auxiliary driving systems are increasingly intelligent. Sea transport, air transport in the automatic driving system, automated three-dimensional warehouse in the delivery and pickup trolley, road transport intelligent traffic system system (ITS) development and application will cause countries to pay extensive attention. In addition, with the help of satellite communication technology, transportation equipment can be tracked and controlled throughout the whole process, and rapid response to market changes.At the end of 2000, the Northwest International Telecommunication Co. Ltd. established a set of freight vehicle dispatch management system for FAW Storage and Transportation Company, which combines GPS, GIS, GSM and other technologies, and can realize the whole process of tracking and monitoring of the goods. The system can effectively avoid the empty load of the vehicle, reasonably and effectively arrange the time of receiving and shipping, greatly improve the utilization rate of the vehicle, save the transportation cost, and enable the enterprise or the owner of the goods to understand the whole situation of the goods in the transportation, and maximally satisfy the customer's need for vehicle safety service, management scheduling and information service. Since its establishment, the system has operated well and played a good effect, providing a basis for the effective management of logistics and will be more widely used in the future.

　　Intelligent Handling Vehicle AHV (AutonomousHandlingVehicle) will also be widely used, the shape of the AHV is similar to the current use of the AGV, but equipped with two general-purpose robotic hand, relying on the visual role of the industrial camera, the location of the goods and the size of the judgement, as a human being can be free to handle the robotic hand weighing 200-300 kg of goods. -AHV has the function of cooperative operation, when the cargo is too long and heavy, it can be handled by more than two sets of ARVs, which will greatly reduce the specification of ARVs and facilitate the management. The joint operation of several AHVs of the same specification can greatly increase the operating capacity.

5.Packaging and systematization

　　On the basis of single-machine automation of logistics machinery and equipment, a variety of logistics machinery and equipment through the computer to form an integrated system of logistics machinery and equipment, through the control of the central control room, and logistics system coordination. This kind of logistics machinery and equipment has a higher degree of automation, with information processing functions, can be detected by the sensor to implement a variety of information storage, arithmetic, logical judgment, transformation and other processing, and then issued to the executive body of the control instructions. This kind of logistics machinery and equipment also has a good information input and output interface, realize the information all, accurate and reliable in the whole logistics machinery integrated system transmission. Logistics machinery and equipment through the system integration, can form the best match and combination of different types of machines, complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, to play the best efficacy. Later will focus on the development of factory production and handling automation system, goods distribution system, container loading and unloading handling system, automatic sorting and handling of goods system.
