Difference Between Intelligent Warehouse And Unattended Warehouse

As an important place for large-scale manufacturing enterprises to warehouse out and manage materials and finished products, warehousing is an important part of manufacturing operations that cannot be ignored. In addition, in recent years, the development of the logistics market is gradually huge, and the demand for large-scale logistics storage management is also rising. The traditional warehouse relies on manual operation, which has many problems, such as low efficiency, unclear location division, irregular stacking, misplacement, and so on.

With the rise of the "Internet +" and the Internet of things, many industries have been transformed, and warehousing management has developed to automation and intelligence. Intelligent warehousing and unmanned warehousing have become the main trend of the development of the warehousing and storage industry. On the other hand, there are some essential differences between intelligent warehousing and unmanned warehousing.

The unattended warehouse relies on the application integration of intelligent logistics system, so that the warehouse robots, unmanned forklifts, drones, and mechanical arms replace artificial operation, and pays attention to the unmanned storage process, to achieve the goal of cost reduction and efficiency increase. With JD's Asia No. 1 unattended warehouse, Alibaba, Amazon's intelligent unattended warehouse, etc. are all representatives of an unattended warehouse.

The intelligent warehouse is a kind of warehousing management concept, which aims to achieve efficient warehouse management through informatization, the Internet of things and mechatronics, so as to reduce storage cost, improve operation efficiency and improve storage management ability, but not pursue to a goal of the unattended warehouse. It mainly uses RFID, Network communication, information system application, intelligent equipment, etc. to realize the automatic collection, identification, and management of management information in and out of the warehouse.

Therefore, according to the intelligent warehouse, it focuses on solving the core problems of the enterprise and pursues the goal of maximizing the operation and management benefits. No matter in the unattended warehouse or in the intelligent warehouse, the touch display equipment is important touch equipment. In the unmanned warehouse, it is mainly used as the touch equipment of the unmanned forklift, storage robot, UAV, mechanical arm, etc., while in the intelligent warehouse, it is used as the touch display equipment of warehousing registration, quick inventory check, intelligent guided pickup route, etc.

Here, let's talk about intelligent warehousing. Take the application of touch smart guided unattended warehouse as an example, let's see what users need for touch display devices?
