A major domestic power grid company responsible for power transmission and distribution network operation and maintenance across several provinces. With annual material procurement exceeding 1 billion yuan and a catalog of over 10,000 types of power equipment and spare parts (e.g., transformers, cables, insulators), it urgently needed to build an efficient and intelligent warehousing and logistics system to support the safe and stable operation of the power grid.
The traditional warehousing model faced three major challenges: low space utilization (only 35%) due to the diverse sizes of power materials (from precision instruments to large equipment); slow response times for emergency repair materials (averaging over 6 hours), impacting fault recovery speed; and high inventory discrepancies and difficult traceability due to manual record-keeping. An intelligent upgrade via a four-way shuttle-based AS/RS was urgently required.
