When upgrading warehouse racks to intelligent automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), the usability of old racks is a comprehensive issue that needs to be considered. A detailed analysis of this problem is as follows:
I. Assessment and Selection of Old Racks
1. Structural Stability ：
l Assess whether the structure of the old racks is stable, and whether there are any problems such as deformation, loose connections, or corrosion.
l For structurally sound old racks, modifications and upgrades can be considered to meet the needs of the AS/RS.
1. Precision Requirements ：
l AS/RS have high precision requirements for racks, ensuring that parameters such as inter-layer spacing and inter-column spacing meet the storage and retrieval requirements of automated equipment.
l If the precision of the old racks is insufficient, adjustments or re-customization may be necessary.
1. Load-Bearing Capacity ：
l Based on the type and weight of goods stored in the AS/RS, assess whether the load-bearing capacity of the old racks meets the requirements.
l If the load-bearing capacity of the old racks is insufficient, reinforcement or re-customization is necessary.
II. Modification and Upgrade of Old Racks
1. Adding Automated Equipment Interfaces ：
l Add automated equipment interfaces to the old racks, such as access interfaces for AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) or CTU (Carton Transfer Unit) robots.
l This requires ensuring that the structure and precision of the racks meet the access requirements of automated equipment.
1. Optimizing Rack Layout ：
l Optimize the layout of the old racks according to the needs of the AS/RS to improve space utilization and storage and retrieval efficiency.
l This may involve adjusting parameters such as the number of layers, columns, and aisle width.
1. Strengthening Safety Protection ：
l Add safety protection measures to the old racks, such as anti-collision devices and safety locks, to ensure the safety of the racks during automated storage and retrieval.
III. Re-Customization of Old Racks
1. Choice When Precision is Insufficient ：
l If the precision of the old racks is insufficient to meet the needs of the AS/RS, the racks may need to be re-customized.
l Re-customized racks need to meet the access requirements of automated equipment and ensure sufficient structural stability and load-bearing capacity.
1. Choice When the Structure is Unstable ：
l If the structure of the old racks is unstable and there are serious problems such as deformation or corrosion, the racks also need to be re-customized.
l Re-customized racks need to use high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure their long-term stability and durability.
IV. Conclusion
When upgrading warehouse racks to AS/RS, the usability of old racks depends on factors such as structural stability, precision requirements, and load-bearing capacity. If the old racks meet these requirements and can be adapted to the needs of the AS/RS through modification and upgrades, they can continue to be used. Otherwise, racks need to be re-customized to meet the requirements of the AS/RS. In practice, it is recommended to consult professional warehouse racking manufacturers or automated system integrators for assessment and selection.
