Enterprises need to have a clear cognition and planning for these factors in the early stage of building up automated warehouse. If the automated warehouse project is built, it will probably cost a lot to rebuild it.

1, inventory capacity: the capacity of the warehouse, including all the storage and temporary storage of the total amount of items in the warehouse;

2, the ability of system work: the capacity of warehouse, warehouse and operation of the three-dimensional warehouse logistics system (throughput);

3, information processing: the ability of information processing in three-dimensional warehouse, including information collection, information processing, information inquiry, information communication, and business information processing.

4, the surrounding logistics processing: how to deliver, check, group and transport the goods to the high level rack, and remove the goods from the high rack, dismantle, merge, pick up, carry and load.

5, the ability of human-computer connection: the connection between the operator and the system, the human-computer interface, the information entry, the processing of the inspection of the unqualified products, the entry into the automatic transport line and so on.

6, functional requirements: warehousing, outgoing, handling, information processing, personnel operation and maintenance, etc.

7, the requirement of automation: manual, semi-automatic, automatic and so on.

8, auxiliary requirements: video surveillance, temperature and humidity measurement and control, door control, artificial vehicle and so on;

9, boundary conditions: site conditions (long, wide, high), power supply, ground base and so on.

10, construction period: through many links such as development, inspection, packaging, transportation, field installation, commissioning, acceptance and training, such as design, purchase, manufacture, processing, assembly, control and management. The time is too short to ensure high quality.

11. Do not excessively pursue the high performance of single unit and ignore the performance of the whole system

12, all kinds of requirements should be appropriate, the key is to meet the requirements of their own use. The requirement is too low to meet the need of use. Excessive demand will cause high system cost, low reliability, difficult implementation, inconvenient maintenance or poor flexibility.

13, system daily maintenance is very important. As for the maintenance of the car, we should maintain the system regularly, keep the system in good working condition, extend the service life of the system, and find hidden troubles in time.

14, for the use of a good automated warehouse, professional management and maintenance personnel are required.
