Key parameters and calculation logic for the design of automated three-dimensional warehouses The design of an automated three-dimensional warehouse needs to focus on determining key parameters such as "cargo characteristics, throughput, and spatial conditions" to ensure system adaptation to requirements. Firstly, determine the specifications of the shelf storage space based on the weight and size of the goods. For example, for storing pallets of 1.2m × 1m × 1.5m and 1.5 tons, the storage space size should be set to 1.3m × 1.1m × 1.6m (with reserved operating clearance); Secondly, based on the daily average inventory volume, calculate the throughput and determine the number of stacker cranes and conveyor systems. For example, if there are 20000 pallets in and out of the warehouse per day, 4-6 stacker cranes need to be configured (a single stacker crane can complete 80-100 cycles of operation per hour); Furthermore, the shelf height and number of aisles are determined based on the warehouse height and area. For a standard height of 8-15 meters, the number of aisles is equal to the number of stacker cranes multiplied by 1.2 (with reserved backup aisles). The calculation logic needs to verify whether the equipment capabilities match: by using the formula "daily operating volume of a single stacker crane=number of cycles per hour x number of working hours", ensure that the total capacity of all equipment is ≥ daily demand, and reserve 20% redundancy to cope with peak operations.
