Against the backdrop of booming e-commerce and surging logistics demand, the traditional warehousing model is facing challenges such as low
efficiency and high costs. The emergence of 5G technology provides a new solution for intelligent warehousing upgrade.
‘The application of 5G technology has solved many pain points in traditional warehousing for us.’ The 5G network has the characteristics of high
speed rate, low latency, and large connection, which provides a strong technical support for intelligent warehousing.
First of all, the high speed and low latency of 5G network ensures the real-time transmission and processing of massive data. In the logistics centre,
each shelf and each piece of equipment is installed with sensors, which can collect real-time information such as the location of goods, the quantity of
inventory, and the status of equipment. These data are transmitted to the central control system through the 5G network, and after analysis and
processing, the storage strategy can be adjusted in real time to optimise resource allocation and improve storage efficiency.
Secondly, the large connection characteristics of 5G network provide a possibility for the interconnection of massive equipment. In the logistics centre,
hundreds of AGV trolleys, robots, sorting equipment, etc. running at the same time, all need a stable network connection. 5G network can meet the
connection needs of these devices to ensure that they work together to achieve the automation and intelligence of warehousing operations.
After a batch of goods arrives at the warehouse, they are scanned and identified, and the relevant information is immediately uploaded to the system.
According to the type of goods, quantity, destination and other information, the system automatically plans the optimal storage location and handling
path, and commands the AGV car to complete the goods into the warehouse and on the shelves. The whole process is efficient and smooth, without
human intervention.
In addition to improving efficiency, 5G intelligent warehousing also brings advantages in other aspects. For example, through real-time monitoring and
data analysis, potential problems can be identified and solved in a timely manner, improving the safety and reliability of warehouse management. In
addition, 5G technology can achieve transparency and visualisation of warehousing information, making it convenient for customers to check the
status of goods and improve service quality.
