As manufacturing enterprises continue accelerating toward intelligent production and digital supply chain management, traditional warehousing systems are facing increasing pressure from growing SKU diversity, higher production efficiency requirements, and rapid inventory turnover demands.
VICTOR MACHINERY, established in 1958, is a leading manufacturer specializing in plastic packaging equipment and mold production. As an important contributor to China’s plastic machinery industry standards, the company serves customers across pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, and personal care industries, with products exported to more than 40 countries worldwide.
With continuous business expansion and increasing production complexity, the company’s original line-side warehouse system could no longer support efficient material flow, accurate inventory control, or flexible multi-SKU management. To optimize warehouse operations and improve production coordination, VICTOR MACHINERY partnered with ZIKOO Intelligent to develop a customized Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) tailored for intelligent line-side warehousing applications.
The previous flat floor storage model relied heavily on manual operations and failed to fully utilize vertical warehouse space, resulting in low storage density and limited scalability.
Manual handling and storage of multiple material categories increased operational complexity, resulting in higher error rates and inefficient inventory counting processes.
The long transportation distance between storage zones and production lines created excessive manual handling requirements, reducing operational efficiency and increasing labor intensity.
The warehouse needed to support flexible storage and handling for materials with different sizes, heights, and specifications, creating higher demands for intelligent scheduling and warehouse coordination.
High-Density Automatic 3D Warehouse
The project adopted an 18-meter-high racking structure to maximize vertical warehouse utilization. Compared with the previous warehouse model, overall storage capacity increased by more than three times, significantly improving warehouse space efficiency.
Flexible Four-Way Shuttle Operations
The Four-Way Shuttle system enables intelligent multi-directional movement within the racking structure. Coordinated with vertical elevators, the system supports precise and flexible handling of complex multi-SKU inventory.
Intelligent Digital Warehouse Management
The customized warehouse software platform supports:
The solution significantly reduced operational errors while improving overall warehouse responsiveness and management efficiency.
Seamless AGV and Production Line Integration
The intelligent warehouse was directly connected to the production line through AGV automation, enabling automatic material transportation and establishing a fully integrated unmanned logistics workflow between production and warehousing operations.
ZIKOO Intelligent delivered a comprehensive intelligent warehousing solution integrating advanced automation equipment with intelligent software systems.
High-Density Warehouse Architecture
The project established a high-density Automatic 3D warehouse capable of maximizing vertical storage space and significantly increasing overall warehouse utilization.
Intelligent Four-Way Shuttle System
The Four-Way Shuttle ASRS supports:
Smart Warehouse Software Platform
The customized intelligent warehouse software system enables:
Intelligent Production Line Collaboration
Through AGV integration and automated warehouse coordination, the system established seamless connectivity between storage operations and production workflows, achieving highly automated and unmanned material handling processes.
The automated warehouse greatly enhanced operational throughput, reduced manual handling requirements, and improved overall warehouse responsiveness.
Intelligent multi-SKU management improved inventory visibility, material traceability, and warehouse operational precision.
Automated operational workflows and intelligent scheduling systems improved warehouse standardization and reduced human operational errors.
Automation significantly lowered labor costs, reduced material handling damage, and improved long-term warehouse cost efficiency.
The intelligent warehouse solution supported the customer’s transition toward digitalized, intelligent, and green manufacturing operations while strengthening supply chain coordination capabilities.
The successful collaboration between VICTOR MACHINERY and ZIKOO Intelligent represents an important milestone in the transformation from traditional warehousing operations to intelligent and automated manufacturing logistics systems.
By implementing a high-density Four-Way Shuttle ASRS with intelligent scheduling, digital inventory management, and AGV collaboration, the project successfully solved the limitations of conventional warehouse operations while establishing a new benchmark for smart manufacturing warehouse upgrades.
Moving forward, ZIKOO will continue leveraging its expertise in Dense Storage and intelligent warehouse automation technologies to help global manufacturers build more flexible, efficient, and scalable smart warehousing systems for the next generation of intelligent manufacturing.
