JD Logistics Unveils Automated Picking Solution at CeMAT Asia
JD Logistics unveiled today at CeMAT ASIA 2024 its latest Goods-to-Person (GTP) automated warehousing system named the “Zhilang” solution. Meaning “Intelligent Wolf”, Zhilang is a proprietary system that improves picking efficiency when compared to conventional manual methods.
Zhilang” Goods-to-Person (GTP) automated warehousing solution
The Zhilang GTP solution combines several technologies, including handling AGVs, lifting robots, and shelving systems, along with automated inbound and picking workstations and an empty tote reflow line. Leveraging warehouse height, Zhilang increases storage density multiple times the industry average for facilities up to 10 meters high.
The system’s modular design enables AGVs and lifting robots to operate independently. Powered by JD Logistics’ self-developed “upper-tote storage and lower-level picking algorithms and buffer storage” technologies, the virtual network is fully flexible for optimized routing. JD’s high-precision navigation algorithm, dual-direction laser obstacle detection technology, and vision-based safety verification ensure precise retrieval with minimal error.
Zhilang” Lifting Robot and Shelving System
Currently, nearly 100 Zhilang AGVs and lifting robots are in operation at a logistics client in Beijing, handling nearly a million items, from t-shirts to shoes. All orders are directed seamlessly to several GTP workstations. Human pickers then place SKU items directly from the robots into the order totes, enabling an automated order fulfillment process from inbound to outbound.
Zhilang” Handling AGV
JD Logistics offers a wide array of other automated solutions, including the Tianlang Tote Shuttle GTP system, Dilang AGV GTP system, Four-way Pallet Shuttle Storage system, Auto Remin Wall, and the Aidong mobile data terminal. In terms of software, JD Logistics’ WCS (warehouse control system), WES (warehouse execution system), RMS (robotics management system), 3D SCADA (3D supervisory control and data acquisition), and Lomir intelligent logistics park management platform, are used in over 1,600 JD Logistcs-operated warehouses and client facilities.
