With the expansion of the scale of production and logistics, and improve logistics automation, logistics equipment used in modern production and logistics more and more widely, more and more important role; and the modernization of production and modernization of logistics and logistics equipment put forward higher requirements. With the improvement of modern machinery and equipment design capabilities and the rapid progress of science and technology, the technology, content, and cultural content of logistics machinery and equipment have increased dramatically, and logistics machinery and equipment is undergoing great changes. In the new century, the technical performance of the logistics machinery and equipment will enter a new stage of development, and the logistics machinery and equipment will surely achieve greater development.
In view of the current situation of the development of logistics machinery and equipment, we can see that in order to meet the needs of modern logistics, logistics machinery and equipment have the following development trends:
1. large and high speed
Large scale refers to the increasing capacity, scale and capability of equipment. Speed refers to the speed, speed, speed and speed of operation. With the rapid development of modern social economy, the scale of production and logistics is expanding. In order to improve operational efficiency and scale efficiency, the demand for large and high-speed logistics machinery is increasing. The weight, the load, the productivity and the working ability of the logistics machinery are becoming more and more fast, and the working speed is getting faster and faster.
2. practicality and light light
Logistics machinery and equipment are the important material and technical foundation of modern and automatic logistics. Logistics machinery and equipment is easy to use, easy to maintain and operate. It has excellent durability, no fault and good economy, and high safety and reliability. Therefore, in the future, we will pay more attention to the development and use of good performance, low cost, high reliability of the logistics machinery and equipment. Some logistics machinery and equipment are used in general situation, and the work is not heavy. Such equipment has large volume and wide use. Considering the comprehensive benefits, it can reduce the external height, simplify the structure, reduce the cost, and also reduce the running cost of the equipment. This light equipment will develop faster in the future.
3. specialization and generalization
Logistics is the product of social and economic development, and it is bound to present a variety of characteristics with the development of the social economy. The diversification of the characteristics reflects the diversification of the demand for logistics machinery and equipment, so that the logistics machinery and equipment have a variety of varieties and continue to be updated. The systematization and consistency of logistics activities and the rapid and maneuverability of transportation and distribution require that some equipments develop towards specialization. At the same time, some devices are required to develop towards generalization and standardization. Special equipment is used to meet special needs with special functions, and it can play the best role. For example, the functions of special cranes, such as railways, ships and containers, will continue to increase, the performance will be improved continuously, and the adaptability will be strengthened. Container ships, bulk carriers, concrete trucks and tank cars will be widely used and low in cost. Some general-purpose devices can also achieve the rapid transformation of logistics operations, greatly improving the efficiency of logistics operations, such as large container trailers that can carry all containers of size, such as shipping, air transportation and railway transportation. In the future, general-purpose equipment will also be further developed.
4. automation and intelligentization
The mechanical technology and electronic technology combined with the advanced microelectronic technology, power electronics technology, optical technology, hydraulic technology, fuzzy control technology is applied to the mechanical drive and control system, realize the automation and intelligent logistics equipment will be the future direction of development. For example, a new generation of electric control device of large efficient crane has been developed into an all electronic digitalized control system, which is made up of all digital control drive device, programmable logic controller, fault diagnosis and data management system, digitalized operation, given detection and other devices. The application of advanced technology makes the crane have higher flexibility, thus improving the level of the integrated automation of the single machine. More steering of the operation of transportation equipment depends on the increasing intelligentization of the instrument, signal and auxiliary driving system. The development and application of automated driving system in shipping and air transportation, delivery and car transport in automated stereoscopic warehouse, and intelligent transportation system (ITS) of highway transportation will attract extensive attention from many countries. In addition, with the help of satellite communication technology, the transportation equipment can be tracked and controlled all the way, and the market changes can be reacted quickly. At the end of 2000, northwest international telecom Limited by Share Ltd set up a freight vehicle dispatching management system for FAW storage and transportation company. It combines GPS, GIS, GSM and many other technologies to achieve the whole process tracking and monitoring of goods. The system can effectively avoid the vehicle load, reasonably arrange and delivery time, greatly improve the utilization rate of vehicles, transportation cost is saved, and can make the enterprise understand all goods or owner of the goods in transit, the maximum to meet customer service needs, service management and information service of vehicle safety. Since the establishment of the system, the system has worked well, and has played a good effect, providing the foundation for effective management of logistics, and will be widely applied in the future.
The intelligent carrier AHV (AutonomousHandlingVehicle) will also be widely used. The AHV shape is similar to the currently used AGV, but with two general manipulator, the industrial camera visual effects in the work, to determine the location and size of the goods, like people can use mechanical hand free weighing 200--300 kilograms of cargo handling. AHV has the function of cooperative work. When the cargo is too long and too heavy, it can be made up of two units.
