The design features of warehouse-shelf integration mainly include the following aspects:
Overall structure: The design of warehouse-shelf integration is an integrated structure of warehouse and shelves, which consists of internal shelves and external walls and roofs built on the shelves. The shelves are the main supporting structure of the entire warehouse. This design uses shelves as building structures to support external walls and roofs, greatly improving space utilization and optimizing storage operation processes.
Design difficulties: The design and construction of warehouse-shelf integration is much more difficult than general shelves. When designing, it is necessary to consider external loads such as earthquakes, wind, rain, and snow, as well as various loads that are not encountered in conventional shelves such as dust accumulation and equipment. In addition, the integration of warehouse and shelf must not only ensure safety, but also meet the operating requirements of automated equipment, which puts higher requirements on shelf structure designers.
Technical requirements: The design of warehouse-shelf integration requires proficiency in shelf, steel structure and load specifications in China, the United States and Europe to ensure the rationality of the design. In terms of production, it is necessary to introduce advanced production lines to produce ultra-high strength and ultra-high precision main profiles to ensure the strength and design accuracy of the products. In terms of structure, it is necessary to cooperate with well-known universities and experts, absorb the experience of successful overseas projects, and ensure the rationality of the structure.
Construction difficulties: The construction environment of warehouse-rack integration is harsh, and factors such as strong sunlight, wind, rain, and snow will seriously interfere with normal construction. In addition, warehouse-rack integration projects usually face installation difficulties such as multi-section column docking, cold-bent thin-walled steel and hot-rolled steel docking, making it more difficult for shelves to meet installation accuracy requirements than conventional projects.
Advantages: The advantages of warehouse-rack integration are mainly reflected in cost and construction period. Compared with the separate construction of traditional warehouses + shelves, warehouse-rack integration can greatly shorten the construction period, usually only a few months. In addition, warehouse-rack integration has obvious cost advantages in large-scale projects, which can significantly improve space utilization and land utilization.
