With the development of science and technology and the respect and pursuit of intelligent logistics in the logistics industry, warehousing and logistics robots have also been favored by the logistics industry. So, what are warehousing and logistics robots?
What is a warehouse logistics robot?
Warehousing and logistics robots refer to robots used for goods in and out of warehouses, sorting, picking and other operations in indoor environments such as logistics warehousing and production warehouses, mainly including various AGVs (automatic guided vehicles), AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) , collaborative robot arm, etc.
The concept and various design works of the warehousing and logistics robot have been born, but the popularization is far from enough. So, what are the main problems of warehousing and logistics robots now? Take a look.
1. Rapid development but disadvantages revealed
The warehousing and logistics robot industry is an emerging industry, and it has also exposed some problems during its rapid development and growth: the intelligence of the robot is not enough, resulting in insufficient response ability in multi-scenario operation; the robot is not fully functional, there are blind spots in obstacle recognition, and product design It is also necessary to add an independent switch button; the stability of the robot under load is poor, and it is prone to serious problems such as the inability to lift the shelf or the deviation of the driving trajectory; the service level of robot manufacturers is still far behind that of industrialized countries. It is also necessary to further improve the system stability and reduce the robot failure rate.
3. The influence of local brands is not enough
Warehousing and logistics robot companies need to continue to strengthen brand building, increase the research and development of core components, and promote the rapid maturity of the industry.
4. The core components of my country's warehousing and logistics robots mainly rely on foreign products
For example, the AGV robot is mainly composed of three parts, drive, system and guidance. The core components such as drive controllers, systems, and exciting navigation sensors are still dominated by foreign brands. There are very few domestic companies that can increase R&D investment, and high-end talents are hard to find. Compared with foreign giants, there is still a big gap in technology, and the localized supply chain is very weak.
5. The phenomenon of homogenization is serious
Logistics and warehousing machine technology needs continuous innovation in both hardware and software to launch reliable products. But at present, domestic warehousing and logistics robot companies basically want to have them. One has developed a new product. Once it is introduced to the market, the second and the third have changed their appearance and have been launched one after another. The patent is basically a page. waste paper.
6. It is difficult to unify the industry standards and restrict the development of the industry
The industry standards and product standards related to domestic warehousing and logistics robots are very scarce, the product quality is uneven, and the market application is also difficult to achieve a unified standard and there is a phenomenon of price melee.
2. E-commerce logistics-based services limit the penetration of warehouse logistics robots into other industries
At present, the biggest challenge facing China's warehousing and logistics robot industry is how to solve the pain points of customers, such as reducing labor costs in logistics and improving warehouse sorting efficiency. Therefore, the products and services provided by robot manufacturers must meet the actual logistics needs of customer companies. This is not only an important way for warehouse logistics robot manufacturers to enhance their core competitiveness, but also an important way for warehouse logistics robots to become commercialized.
