How Does The Dart Robot Subvert The Shoe And Clothing Sorting In The Digital Era?

China is a big country in global garment production and consumption, which will be completed in 2020 Clothing output Still more than 20 billion. However, in recent years, with the steady development of footwear and clothing industry, the scale of industry output has declined, and the industry competition has become increasingly fierce. In addition, the deepening of e-commerce penetration also forces the footwear industry to have higher and higher requirements on the timeliness of the supply mode, which poses a great challenge to the traditional shoe and clothing warehouse management mode.

In terms of the market situation, how to reduce the operating costs of enterprises, how to quickly respond to the market demand, and how to maintain a position or stand out in the market with the overall output declining are the problems that shoe and clothing enterprises need to deal with urgently, and the transformation of footwear warehousing logistics sorting is undoubtedly an indispensable link.

I. Analysis of pain points in shoes and clothing sorting

At present, the traditional shoe and clothing warehouse management, no matter is positive Logistics sorting Or reverse logistics sorting, are facing many transformation problems. The details are as follows:

1. More SKUs and more orders:

There are many types of shoes and clothing and many SKUs, which increase the difficulty of goods sorting and classification, and more grilles need to be set. In the color, size, season goods, clothing logistics is recognized as the most close to the single product management of the multi frequency small batch logistics mode, this multi frequency small batch mode, more requirements for shoes and clothing order picking accuracy.

With the continuous increase of personalized demand of thousands of people and thousands of faces of consumers in shoe and clothing industry, the demand for multi batch, small batch and quick response is increasing, which forces the efficiency of warehousing and outbound to be greatly improved.

2. The return rate of shoes and clothing is high

The return rate of footwear and clothing industry is higher than that of other industries. The penetration of e-commerce further improves the return rate and increases the number of returned products, which makes the processing pressure of reverse logistics surge. This is bound to affect the efficiency of reclassification and inventory turnover, resulting in overstocking of warehouses, rising costs, or forcing stores to carry out clearance at reduced prices.

3. The order flow fluctuates greatly

The order flow of shoes and clothing industry fluctuates greatly, and the sorting operation volume changes greatly. The small promotion operation is generally about 5 times of the daily average operation, and the large promotion operation is generally 20-40 times of the daily average operation. During the peak period of promotion season and new season, the surge of shipment and return volume will lead to many uncertain factors.

Different shipments need more flexible picking mode, which requires the shoe and clothing warehouse to make efficient response. At present, manual sorting not only has low sorting efficiency and high error rate, but also has high labor cost, which makes it difficult to manage the flow of personnel, and it is difficult to deal with this situation calmly.

4. Diversified types of Omni channel sales orders:

　　 Footwear industry Omni channel sales include various types, such as multi-level distribution mode, store direct marketing mode, online sales mode, online group purchase mode, offline Aolai mode, customer customization mode, etc. different sales modes have different order structures and types, so flexible sorting solutions are needed to adapt to different types of order picking.

II. Segmentation of shoes and clothing sorting scene

In the footwear and clothing industry, the same footwear and clothing enterprise usually has strong demand for automatic sorting in at least three scenarios

Order picking: the staff will take the goods out of the shelves or pallets according to the order requirements and transport them to the sorting area for sorting according to different customers and different distribution routes.

Store Replenishment: according to the demand and replenishment demand of the terminal store, the warehouse will take the goods out of the shelves or pallets, and carry out automatic sorting according to different stores.

Return sorting: after repackaging and labeling, the returned goods are sorted automatically according to SKU classification, and then put on shelves again.

Therefore, in the process of automation transformation, how the same set of equipment can meet the sorting needs of different scenarios is a problem that shoe and clothing enterprises have to consider.

3. How to solve the problem of shoes and clothing sorting?

Innovation always comes with demand. As the global pioneer of intelligent sorting robot, dart robot has successfully explored and applied an automatic sorting system suitable for footwear and clothing industry.

According to the relevant personnel of the dart robot, this automatic sorting system called "table sorting system" has several major features:

1. More checkers: the number of checkers can be set according to the demand, which can be up to several thousand. It is suitable for the characteristics of many SKUs and orders in the footwear industry.

2. Flexibility: the system has strong expansibility and flexibility. The platform can be single-layer or multi-layer. The number of robots and fingers can be increased or decreased according to the demand, and the sorting efficiency can be improved rapidly in peak season to adapt to the characteristics of large fluctuation of order flow and multi batch and small batch of shoes and clothing industry.

3. Applicability: the scene has strong applicability. The same set of equipment can be used in different scenarios such as order picking, store replenishment and return sorting in different periods of time, and the conversion is easy.

4. Fast deployment: under the condition of relatively perfect site and other conditions, the fastest time is only 1-2 weeks, and generally it only takes 3-5 weeks.

5. Less land occupation: under the premise of the same sorting capacity demand, the occupied space area is greatly reduced compared with other sorting methods, which reduces the space cost for enterprises.

6. High efficiency: the RCS robot control system maximizes the sorting efficiency, which is 2-3 times higher than that of manual sorting, and the sorting capacity can reach more than 10000 orders per hour.

It is understood that at present, this intelligent sorting solution of dart robot has been successfully applied to many warehouses of well-known garment enterprises at home and abroad, helping these garment enterprises realize the transformation of sorting automation and the improvement of sorting efficiency, so as to meet the demand of the shoe and clothing industry's faster and faster supply chain.
