Types of logistics equipment
Logistics equipment category, model specifications, variety complex. General equipment to complete the logistics operations as a standard, the equipment is divided into:
1. Packaging equipment. Packaging equipment is the completion of all or part of the packaging process of machinery and equipment. Packaging equipment is to achieve the product packaging mechanization, the fundamental guarantee of automation. Mainly include filling equipment, canned equipment, sealing equipment, wrapping equipment, labeling equipment, cleaning equipment, drying equipment, sterilization equipment.
2. Logistics warehousing equipment. Including shelves, stackers, indoor van, immigration equipment, sorting equipment, hoists, handling robots and computer management and monitoring systems. These devices can be automated, semi-automated, mechanized commercial warehouses to stack, access and sort shipments.
3. Container unit. Mainly containers, trays, turnover boxes and other container unit appliances. After the container has been assembled or assembled, the goods have high flexibility and are ready for operation at all times, which will realize the integration of storage, handling, transportation and packaging, and realize the mechanization and standardization of logistics operation.
4. Handling equipment. Refers to the equipment used for moving, lifting, loading and unloading and short distance transport of materials, is an important part of logistics machinery and equipment. From the use and structural characteristics of view, loading and unloading equipment, including lifting equipment, continuous transport equipment, loading and unloading vehicles, special handling equipment.
5. Circulation processing equipment. Including metal processing equipment, mixing mixing equipment, wood processing equipment and other processing equipment.
6. Transport equipment. The importance of transport is mentioned earlier. The unique position of transport in logistics has put forward higher requirements for transport equipment, requiring high-speed, intelligent, generalized, large-scale and safe and reliable characteristics of transport equipment to improve the efficiency of transportation and reduce transportation costs. So that the transport equipment to optimize the use. According to different modes of transport, transport equipment can be divided into trucks, rail trucks, cargo ships, air transport equipment and pipeline equipment. For third-party logistics companies, generally only have a certain number of trucks, and other transport equipment to directly use the social public transport equipment.
Characteristics of modern logistics equipment
Logistics equipment is the main symbol of the level of logistics technology, modern logistics equipment reflects the development of modern logistics technology. China's logistics equipment in recent years, modern, high degree of automation, its main features are:
1. The degree of socialization of equipment is getting higher and higher, the equipment structure is more and more complex, and from research, design to production until the end of each link between the interdependence, mutual restraint.
2. Equipment has emerged "four" trend, that is, continuous, large-scale, high-speed, electronic, and improve productivity.
3. Energy-intensive equipment, energy consumption; at the same time modern equipment investment and use costs are very expensive, is capital-intensive, and thus improve the economic efficiency of management of logistics enterprises is very important.
