Chicheng Group
Chicheng Group has successively established two chain convenience store brands, “Neighborhood” and “Life Post”, covering 61 counties, cities, and districts in China. With more than4000 chain stores Chicheng is a key supermarket enterprise in East China.
The primary focus of the warehouse is on storing and managing food, beverages, cleaning products, and other commodities. Hai Robotics introduced Goods-to-Person Automation to improve the efficiency of their B2B business. Our system maximized warehouse space utilization, improved storage capacity, and helped Chicheng reduce costs and increase workflow efficiency.
--High labor density: A large amount of SKUs paired with a long walking distance for picking made work tedious and arduous.
--Low picking efficiency due to the size of the warehouse and manual picking workflows.
--With rapid business development, the low storage density needed to be optimized.
--Increasing costs: warehouse rent costs and labor costsrising means a scalable automation solution is needed.
--Robot quantity & type: 30 Multi-layer A42 units and 3 Telescopic A42T units
--Charging stations: 11 charging stations
--Workstation type & quantity: 5 Double-U-shape setson-conveyor workstations
--Shelving height: 7.50m
--Storage unit type/size: Tote/carton box 600mm(L) ×400mm(W) × 300mm(H)
--The warehouse encompasses an area of 2,000 square meters, with a storage space of 1,200 square meters, offering 26,652 storage locations. The bin storage density has reached 22.2 bins per square meter, significantly increasing the storage density.
--The pick efficiency of our staff now reaches 200 lines per person per hour, manifesting an efficiency hike of 50%.
--The mixed layout of A42 and A42T ensures the efficiency of the robot's box-moving while, at the same time, increasing the total number of storage spaces.
--The dual U conveyor line design guarantees that each workstation is provided with 200 or more boxes per hour.
