XCube Case Study: Consumer Goods High-density Pallet Storage Automation
The company is an international manufacturer and sales service company specializing in daily consumer products, with business operations spanning across the globe. To meet the growing demand driven by sales expansion and an increasing number of orders, the company decided to build an automated dense storage warehouse in Shanghai. The goal was to achieve high-efficiency goods storage, management, and distribution.
Project Challenge
Before automation, the company faced several operational bottlenecks:
- Low storage density and limited space utilization.
- Inefficient inbound and outbound processes, which could not keep up with growing business demands.
- High labor costs and intensive manual workload, leading to low productivity and safety risks.
NovaX Automation Solution
NovaX Automation provided a customized XCube solution tailored to the company’s operational needs.
- System Configuration: 60 XCube robots, 11 lifts, and 45 charging stations.
- Warehouse Specs: 27-meter height with 9 storage levels, pallet size 1280 × 1080 mm.
- Intelligent Control: Integrated with WMS/WCS systems for fully automated scheduling and real-time inventory management.
Project Results
The project achieved significant operational improvements:
- Storage capacity increased to 44,129 pallet positions, a 300% improvement over the original warehouse.
- Simultaneous inbound and outbound operations with throughput of 140 pallets/hour inbound and 170 pallets/hour outbound, meeting business demands of over 5,000 pallets/day during peak seasons.
- Improved efficiency, reduced labor dependency, and optimized warehouse space utilization.
