The advantages and disadvantages of logistics line type I U type L
The logistics centre that deals with fast freight goods usually uses the L concept design to minimize the flow of goods to and from the logistics centre and to the L (Figure two). The L type logistics center is similar to the I type logistics center, and also has two independent goods stations, fewer collision intersections, and is suitable for dealing with fast moving goods.One of the limitations of L type logistics centers is that the efficiency of the goods in other functional areas will be reduced relative to the L range. Therefore, the logistics center of this type is usually at the same time dealing with the "fast flow" and "slow" goods, the "fast flow of goods stored in the L flow range, the" slow flow "of the goods stored in the L flow range, according to the frequency of the effective use of goods handling logistics center the various functional areas.This type of logistics center is particularly suited for cross - operation (cross-docking), handling some "come on" or "only a short stay in the logistics center". Hongkong L type logistics center is less, more common in China, such as Shenzhen Kerry Yantian Port Logistics center.
I logistics center has a separate entry and exit goods, which are distributed in the logistics center on both sides, straight to the point (Figure 1). Due to the I logistics center operation flow is linear, the operation of parallel lines, so whether people or logistics, collision mutually cross points is relatively minimal, can reduce the possibility of operators and logistics handling car collision.The biggest problem existing in I logistics center is the entry and exit goods Taiwan far apart, the overall increase in cargo transportation routes, reducing efficiency, but the linear process is relatively simple, relatively easy to adapt to the operator, can make up for deficiencies in this area. In addition, as the exit and arrival platform is located on both sides of the logistics center, at least two teams of security teams are responsible for the supervision of the two goods stations, increasing personnel input and operating costs.
The conceptual design, functional design and technical design are introduced briefly in three different design stages, and the design principle of "from the inside to outside" is adopted to maximize the space utilization and operation efficiency. This time, we will introduce several major design types of logistics centers, including I, L, and U. And before the introduction of different types of logistics center, the first to know when the definition of a logistics center belongs to U type, does not refer to the logistics center of the building appearance is U, but the logistics center's internal operation process was U type, especially the flow of goods. Below, we will briefly introduce the characteristics of different types of logistics centers.
