Can a pallet robot consider storage and retrieval efficiency while effectively stacking goods?

Pallet robots not only achieve efficient stacking of goods, but also consider the issue of storage and retrieval efficiency comprehensively. Modern pallet robot systems do not simply pursue "stacking high", but achieve "stacking high and taking fast" through intelligent algorithms and flexible control. The following is a point by point introduction:


1. Optimize stacking location based on outbound frequency
Pallet robots can be combined with warehouse management systems (WMS) to plan stacking based on the frequency of goods being shipped out.
High frequency outbound goods are prioritized to be stacked on the lower level or near the entrance and exit to reduce pickup time.
Low frequency outbound goods can be stacked on the upper layer or in an area away from the shipping port to increase overall storage density.


2. Support first in first out (FIFO) and first in last out (LIFO) strategies
The system can select the appropriate stacking method based on the characteristics of the goods (such as shelf life):
FIFO: Forward First Out, suitable for perishable products such as food and medicine.
LIFO: Last in, first out, suitable for non quality goods or compact space scenarios.
pallet robots can reserve channels or adopt shuttle picking paths during the stacking process to ensure smooth inbound and outbound processes.


3. Automatically plan the optimal stacking path
The system calculates the shortest path and minimum number of movements through algorithms before each stacking or picking up, improving operational efficiency.
Reduce unnecessary lifting, rotating, or repetitive movements to increase the amount of processing per unit time.


4. Dynamically adjust the stacking structure
The pallet robot can dynamically adjust the stacking height and position based on real-time inventory changes.
For example, when the inventory of a certain type of product decreases, the robot will automatically reduce its stacking layers to improve future pickup efficiency.


5. Prevent "cargo obstruction" and "blind spot stacking"
Intelligent systems can avoid stacking important or commonly used goods in difficult to retrieve "dead corners" or "bottom layers".
At the same time, necessary channels or gripping space should be reserved during stacking to ensure smooth operation in the future.


6. Parallel Homework and Task Scheduling
Multiple pallet robots can coordinate their work to achieve parallel stacking and picking operations.
The system will automatically assign tasks to prevent robots from "fighting" or waiting for each other in the same channel, improving overall work efficiency.


7. Can work collaboratively with the picking system
In e-commerce warehouses or mixed order warehouses, pallet robots can also be linked with picking robots and conveyor belt systems.
Stacking strategies can be optimized based on picking paths and SKU layouts to improve order processing efficiency.


8. Minimize manual intervention
When designing stacking strategies for automated systems, future pickup paths have been planned to reduce human intervention and handling operations.
Reduce the probability of manual reorganization of goods and improve the sustainability and reliability of the entire system operation.
