A Pharmaceutical Company in Hebei Province

Project Name: Hebei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Project Overview: A major pharmaceutical logistics enterprise specializing in drug distribution faced challenges with traditional manual picking due to extensive product variety and strict zone management, resulting in low efficiency and high error rates. To address the growing demand for piece-picking operations, the company deployed 40 AGV transport robots. Integrated with automated equipment including automated storage systems, conveyor lines, and robotic arms, this initiative established a highly efficient and accurate smart logistics center, achieving comprehensive upgrades in both warehousing and distribution operations.

Project Pain Points

Low picking efficiency and high error rate: The traditional “person-to-goods” picking method relies heavily on manual movement and judgment, making it difficult to operate and prone to errors.

Timeliness and accuracy are difficult to guarantee: Pharmaceuticals demand extremely stringent storage conditions and strict inbound/outbound timing requirements, which traditional logistics models cannot consistently meet to ensure fast and accurate delivery.

Business growth brings operational pressure: The rising demand for small-parcel shipping has outpaced the processing capacity of the existing logistics system, creating a bottleneck for corporate development.

Project Highlights

1. Full-process automated collaboration: AGV robots work in tandem with automated storage systems, conveyor lines, and robotic arms to achieve fully automated operations from storage and picking to replenishment.

2. Smart Verification and Regulatory Integration: By connecting the visual recognition system to the “Code Assurance” platform, it automatically completes verification of drug entry and exit from warehouses and electronic regulatory data collection, ensuring information accuracy.

3. Algorithm Optimization for Off-Peak Replenishment: Introduce the CTU replenishment algorithm to enable unmanned replenishment scheduling, leveraging idle resources to accelerate split-load shipping speeds.

Project Revenue

Significantly enhanced operational efficiency: Implementing “goods-to-person” picking reduces personnel movement, substantially boosting labor productivity while lowering physical exertion.

Improved accuracy in inventory operations: Visual recognition and electronic monitoring systems effectively eliminate human error, ensuring accurate and traceable pharmaceutical information.

Enhanced Responsiveness: Intelligent scheduling and off-peak replenishment accelerate shipment speeds, ensuring the timeliness and reliability of pharmaceutical distribution.
