In the world of intelligent medical manufacturing, every product is tied to human health and every process demands perfection. When a top-tier medical device company set out to build a new production base, they faced a formidable challenge: how to construct an intelligent automated warehouse capable of automatic storage, automatic retrieval and self-operation management within a space-constrained clean workshop?

Located in a large medical injection and puncture device industrial park in Jiangsu Province, this automated AS/RS covers approximately 1,000 square meters, stands 23 meters high, and spans three floors. Its core mission is to achieve efficient and seamless material handling between the upstream plastic injection molding workshop and the downstream assembly line. With a precise understanding of the customer's requirements, Wayzim delivered a fully automated Miniload high-bay AS/RS system, creating an "overhead intelligent logistics hub" that connects injection molding and assembly—empowering the customer to successfully build an integrated upstream-downstream production chain.

Wayzim tailored an integrated solution featuring "overhead connection, vertical storage & retrieval, and intelligent scheduling":

● Overhead Corridors to eliminate ground congestion

Wayzim innovatively introduced an overhead conveyor system that seamlessly integrates with the customer's existing overhead carriers. After materials are offloaded from the injection molding line, dimensional inspection, weight check and barcode recognition are completed automatically via the overhead conveyor. Conforming items are automatically stored or directly delivered to the production line, while non-conforming items are diverted to a manual station. This fully avoids ground cross-traffic, greatly maintaining workshop cleanliness and meeting cleanroom standards.

● High-rise racking to maximize vertical space

Wayzim deployed four dual-depth dual-station Miniload stacker cranes, fully utilizing the 23-meter vertical space to achieve ultra-high-density storage. Featuring high speed and high precision, the stacker cranes sustain a stable throughput rate of 290 totes/hour even with massive storage capacity.

● Full-process automation for high efficiency and low maintenance

Based on the material demands of downstream assembly lines, the WMS and WCS systems provide real-time scheduling and issue precise instructions for automated outbound delivery and material distribution. Meanwhile, the 3DMS provides real-time 3D monitoring of the AS/RS, providing full visibility of equipment status, supporting rapid fault location and diagnosis, and significantly improving operation and maintenance efficiency.

* Warehouse Management System (WMS), Warehouse Control System (WCS), and digital twin-based 3DMS system

01 Significant reduction in operational costs

Achieved fully unmanned operations throughout the entire process—from injection molding to storage to assembly lines—greatly reducing reliance on manual labor and associated costs, while also lowering human error rates.

02 Maximized space utilization value

The system delivers over 30,000 storage locations through high-rise and double-deep dense storage within a floor space of just over 1,000 square meters, achieving industry-leading space utilization.

03 Leapfrog improvement in management efficiency and operational reliability

The in-depth integration of information technology and automation enables full visibility and control of material flow, safeguarding stable production for the enterprise.

This project is not only a successful implementation of an automated AS/RS, but also a perfect integration of intelligent logistics and high-end manufacturing. It proves that in the most demanding fields, innovation and reliability can coexist, and efficiency and cleanliness can be achieved simultaneously.
