Business WireJuly 20, 2017美國商業新聞社，2017年7月20日FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 馬薩諸塞州，弗雷明翰（商業新聞社） Staples, Inc. (NASDAQ – SPLS) announced today the development of a cutting edge, robotic material handling solution for their fulfillment centers powered by Great Star Industrial USA, LLC (“Great Star”). The technology combines separate solutions for picking items with high cubic velocity and low cubic velocity into a first of its kind robust, integrated solution. 史泰伯公司（NASDAQ上市代碼-SPLS）于本日宣布了今后將用于該公司倉儲中心的一種尖端、前沿的自動化物料處理解決方案，該解決方案由巨星科技美國有限公司（簡稱“巨星”）負責開發。此項技術將多種獨立的不同的速率分揀物件的解決方案有效地整合成首例集成化的高效解決方案。 Unlike other systems in the market today, the automated robotic storage and retrieval system incorporates two types of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) into a unified system that brings both high and low cubic velocity items to a single pick and pack station, requiring less capital investment than traditional material handling systems while increasing productivity and picking accuracy. 與目前市場上的其它（物料處理）系統不同，該套自動化倉儲及物料拾取系統將兩種類型的無人搬運車整合在一個分揀系統內，從而可以將分揀快慢速率的物件搬運到一個拾取打包工作站，不僅提高了工作效率和拾取精度，同時又比傳統物料處理系統節省了一定資本投入。 The AGV used for picking items with a low cubic velocity, commonly known as “Goods to Person” technology, is adaptable to pick from existing industry wide storage mediums and can retrieve up to five unique items per trip, lowering capital and drastically reducing robot tasks and travel. Items with high cubic velocity are picked with AGVs that replace traditional manual pick carts, redefining “Person to Goods” technology. The new system enables “Goods to Person” pick cells to be fed by multiple AGV’s simultaneously, eliminating idle time for the order picker. AGVs can place products directly into the pick cell and then leave for other tasks, increasing AGV utilization. 用以揀選慢速率物件的AGV通常被稱為“貨到人”的技術，適合從目前業內廣泛使用的倉儲媒介上拾取物料，每趟可拾取五種不同的物件，能降低成本并大大減少機器人工作量和行程。揀選速率快的物件則是用能代替人工手推車的AGV來拾取的，于是就重新定義了“人到物”的技術。而這套新型的系統能實現“物到人”拾取單元由多臺AGV同時供料，解決了指令（訂單）采集閑置時間的問題。AGV可以將產品直接放在拾取單元里，然后離開去執行其他任務，提高了利用率。 “With Staples and Great Star each leveraging their strengths in design, engineering, and supply chain operations, we’ve rapidly gone from concept to production with a robotic solution that is truly ground breaking,” said Mike Bhaskaran, Staples’ Chief Supply Chain Officer. “It incorporates concepts that have never been used before. In addition to rolling it out across the Staples’ network of fulfillment centers, we’re excited for its potential applications beyond these facilities.” “通過史泰博和巨星各自發揮其在設計，策劃及供應鏈運營方面的優勢，我們以較快的速度實現了一項真正具有革新性的機器人解決方案從概念階段到生產應用階段，”史泰博首席供應鏈官麥克?巴斯卡蘭談到，“該系統整合了幾種以前從未使用過概念。該系統已在史泰博物流網絡鋪開，同時我們也看到了其應用在其他領域的可能性，我們對此感到非常欣慰和激動。” Staples has already started to utilize the new system in one of its key fulfillment centers and is targeting to have the solution implemented across their entire network over the next 24 months. 史泰博已從其主要的幾個物流中心中挑選出一個，作為使用新系統的試點，并計劃在今后兩年內在其整個物料網絡全面鋪展該套解決方案的應用。 "This solution will be transformational for the industry," said Lily Chi, Executive Vice President of Great Star. "It offers a high degree of flexibility and capability that will provide a cost-effective solution for almost any order fulfillment and warehousing operation.” “該項解決方案將為業界帶來巨大變革，”巨星執行副總裁池曉蘅談到，“該系統具有高度靈活性，性能卓越，能為幾乎所有的訂單配送（指令執行）和倉儲作業提供具有高成本效益性的解決方案。” About Staples, Inc. 關于史泰博公司 史泰博公司始終以創新的方式將技術和人力資源有機地整合在一起，不斷推出能令客戶滿意和提升客戶體驗的產品、服務及專業技能。史泰博公司是以使命感和激情從事商業活動的，并以塑造真正的職場精英為己任。總部位于麻州波士頓郊外的史泰博主要在北美從事商業活動。您可登錄史泰博官網了解更多詳情:www.staples.com。
