The Development Of Automatic Warehouse Rack Intelligent Configuration Design System And Its Application

With the continual development of logistics technology, especially as the representative of a new generation of applications and the constant development of logistics equipment, the automation stereoscopic automatic warehouse has greatly changed the traditional model of logistics, and it has the advantages of saving land, reducing labor intensity, eliminating the error, and improving the storage automation level, effectively reduce the backlog of funds flow, improve the logistics efficiency and many other advantages which has become the important technical equipment in modern logistics industry. As an important part of automatic warehouse, warehouse rack has many functions such as classification of goods storage, expanding the warehouse storage capacity, improving the mechanization degree of operation and so on. As a kind of mass customization products, warehouse rack is entirely in accordance with customer demand with the logistics strategy, warehouse storage size and material specifications and other conditions to design is taken into account. The existing design method, the existence of individual needs, design workload, long design cycle, experience design and design knowledge messy design reusability lead to the logistics equipment enterprises can’t quickly respond to market demand, therefore, they urgently need a set of intelligent enabling tool to improve the efficiency and the rack design quality, accelerate the pace of business innovation, rapidly response to market demand, improve our country logistics equipment enterprises market competition.In view of the above problems, the existing automatic warehouse rack design patterns and methods of in-depth is researched and analyzed, and the automatic warehouse rack intelligent configuration design model is putted forward in this paper. The automatic warehouse rack intelligent configuration design system is developed base on the comprehensive application of case based reasoning intelligent design technology, rack extension intelligent configuration design technology, Parameterized templates for rapid design technology. The main research contents of this paper are as follows:(1) The intelligent configuration design system architecture and function division is given. The rack configuration design knowledge base is established based on the XML technology research includes variable load conditions of key components such as experimental data automatic warehouse rack design knowledge expression mode.(2) This paper researched rack intelligent configuration design technology based on CBR, presents the intelligent reasoning model of similarity algorithm and weight calculation model, and verified the intelligent reasoning model which is feasible and effective. At the same time, the rack design expression, composition, classification and shelf design case base maintenance methods are also described.(3) A method of parameterized templates rack detail design technology is proposed, and its process model is also presented. The template definition, classification and parameterized template library construction on the rack of design parameters are studied. At the same time, the rack selection design is putted forward in this paper which is based on intelligent configuration selection model, and the automatic warehouse rack component module classification tree is also given. The racks of product family and its components of matter element model are discussed in this paper too, and a rack extension configuration selection process model is researched and established. The paper used an example to verify the validity of the model of module matter element model for intelligent matching algorithm.(4) In this paper, the automatic warehouse rack intelligent configuration design system is developed based on the warehouse shelf intelligent configuration design technology and its theory method, the VisualStadio2008platform, and AutoCAD two development tools. The main function modules of the system are described in detail. The system has been in the enterprise applications, business practice shows that the system can greatly improve the design efficiency, reduce the cost of product development, and its industry application prospect is broad.
