[The common pain points of customers in this industry]

For the automation of warehouse management, usually consider a higher degree of automation of the whole system, but for the automation of the warehouse there are some more difficult to overcome the problem:

1. the warehouse structure is complex, supporting equipment, requiring a lot of infrastructure and equipment investment, and the cost of maintenance is also higher.

2. shelf installation requires high precision, construction is more difficult, long construction cycle.

3. computer control system is the warehouse "nerve center". Once there is a failure, will make the entire warehouse in a state of paralysis, receiving and sending operations to interrupt.

4. because the high shelves is the use of standard cargo space (grid) for unit storage, so there are certain limitations on the type of goods stored.
