More than 25, 000 pallets are stored in this installation and the distance between two adjacent pallets are less than 50 mm in the same row without losing any storage space.
Each aisle is served by a mother-child shuttle that picks up pallets from lift, mother shuttle move to defined row and child shuttle deposits pallets in the location that has been assigned by Huaruide WMS warehouse management system, the pallet come from incoming conveyor.

The Layout of Jingxi High-density Storage System
Incoming and Outgoing Goods
The operations in the warehouse is perfect because of their simplicity: the receipt and dispatch of goods is carried out automatically at the front of the warehouse via a conveyor circuit with rollers and chains that controls the pallets at all times. This system allows goods to be moved independently, without the need for human intervention, and prevents logistical errors. Both processes are separated to avoid interference.
Before entering the automated warehouse, goods must pass through the checkpoint to validate that they fulfil the requirements established for their location in the warehouse. Pallets that do not pass inspection are deposited on the rejects conveyor, placed in parallel, for their reconditioning.
The Picking and Partial Palletizing Station
There are four picking stations and one partial palletizing station were also placed. The operators take the goods from pallet according to orders and push the button once picking finished. The pallets are sent back to rack by cooperation of conveyors, lift, and mother-child shuttle, and the outbound goods will be place on pallet first and taken out by forklift later on.
Once Huaruide WMS monitor a pallet which load very less goods, it will be outbound to partial palletizing station where the pallet should be re-palletized and sent back to rack or outbound directly.
