Project area: 1,836 ㎡ Stock locations: 3,332 Aiming to help coal mines improve their material management efficiency, Wayzim has developed three types of AS/RS for warehousing coal mine materials with different weights and operation requirements. Using stacker cranes as the core equipment, the AS/RS enables automated, visualized, and intelligent management of the warehousing process from inbound to outbound with the support of the Warehouse Management System (WMS), the Warehouse Control System (WCS), and the Digital Twin System (3DMS). It defines a replicable and extensible modern warehousing standard system for the coal mining industry.

Space utilization
Manual material collection lowers the outbound and count efficiency, requires massive manual work, and poses safety risks.
Manual material verification leads to a high error rate of inventory data and stock locations.
Floor stacking and traditional shelf storage lower space utilization and restrict the storage height.
The system features customized stacker crane solutions for materials of varying weights, integrating machine vision with an intelligent control platform to achieve seamless coordination between hardware and software.
Intelligent Inbound (Light-duty Zone): A grayscale vision algorithm ensures 99.99% tote detection accuracy, transmitting real-time capacity data to WMS and increasing space utilization by 35%.
Dynamic Management (Medium-duty Zone): Adaptive clamping devices and intelligent WMS allocation enable efficient pallet handling and automatic material consolidation, reducing transport time.
Efficient Heavy-load Storage (Heavy-duty Zone): High-load stacker cranes and double-deep racks boost storage density by 50%, while laser ranging and anti-sway technologies ensure stable, efficient operations.

WMS, WCS and 3DMS
Parallel operation, machine collaboration, and intelligent scheduling speed up the inbound and outbound processes. The high-density design of the AS/RS and dynamic volume calculation free up more storage space.
The entire process requires no manual operations, lowering the labor costs and error rate. The modular structure delivers excellent horizontal and vertical scalability of the hardware and software.
The standardized operation environment minimizes operational risks. The management platform integrates WMS, WCS, and 3DMS to provide intelligent and visualized control.
