马萨诸塞州，弗雷明翰（商业新闻社）

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上市代码-SPLS）于本日宣布了今后将用于该公司仓储中心的一种尖端、前沿的自动化物料处理解决方案，该解决方案由yl12311线路检测科技美国有限公司（简称“yl12311线路检测”）负责开发。此项技术将多种独立的不同的速率分拣物件的解决方案有效地整合成首例集成化的高效解决方案。

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.

与目前市场上的其它（物料处理）系统不同，该套自动化仓储及物料拾取系统将两种类型的无人搬运车整合在一个分拣系统内，从而可以将分拣快慢速率的物件搬运到一个拾取打包工作站，不仅提高了工作效率和拾取精度，同时又比传统物料处理系统节省了一定资本投入。

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.

用以拣选慢速率物件的AGV通常被称为“货到人”的技术，适合从目前业内广泛使用的仓储媒介上拾取物料，每趟可拾取五种不同的物件，能降低成本并大大减少机器人工作量和行程。拣选速率快的物件则是用能代替人工手推车的AGV来拾取的，于是就重新定义了“人到物”的技术。而这套新型的系统能实现“物到人”拾取单元由多台AGV同时供料，解决了指令（订单）采集闲置时间的问题。AGV可以将产品直接放在拾取单元里，然后离开去执行其他任务，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.”

“通过史泰博和yl12311线路检测各自发挥其在设计，策划及供应链运营方面的优势，我们以较快的速度实现了一项真正具有革新性的机器人解决方案从概念阶段到生产应用阶段，”史泰博首席供应链官麦克•巴斯卡兰谈到，“该系统整合了几种以前从未使用过概念。该系统已在史泰博物流网络铺开，同时我们也看到了其应用在其他领域的可能性，我们对此感到非常欣慰和激动。”

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.

史泰博已从其主要的几个物流中心中挑选出一个，作为使用新系统的试点，并计划在今后两年内在其整个物料网络全面铺展该套解决方案的应用。

"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.”

“该项解决方案将为业界带来巨大变革，”yl12311线路检测执行副总裁池晓蘅谈到，“该系统具有高度灵活性，性能卓越，能为几乎所有的订单配送（指令执行）和仓储作业提供具有高成本效益性的解决方案。”
