Can the high-level pallet racks be upgraded to intelligent warehousing racks?

High-level pallet racking is the core equipment in traditional warehousing. However, as the logistics industry moves towards intelligence, many enterprises hope to achieve intelligent upgrades without completely replacing the existing racking. Can high-level pallet racking be upgraded to intelligent warehousing racking? Let's find out.

Yes, on the basis of the existing racking, deploy AGV forklifts (automated guided forklifts) to achieve unmanned handling, suitable for standard pallet goods. Moreover, the current AGV forklifts generally have a lifting height of less than 6 meters, which is suitable for high-structured pallet racking with lower heights to achieve automated storage and retrieval. For the part of high-level pallet racking exceeding 6 meters, AGV forklifts may not be suitable.

It is also possible to integrate RFID or QR codes onto the high-level pallet racking and combine with WMS (Warehouse Management System) to achieve precise inventory management. Or, through intelligent algorithms, optimize the allocation of storage locations to improve the efficiency of storage and retrieval. Another option is to add stackers and conveyor lines to the original racking structure to achieve fully automated storage and retrieval. However, it is necessary to assess the racking's load-bearing capacity and structural stability, and this kind of renovation is relatively difficult and is not as good as directly creating a brand-new intelligent warehousing racking.
