Traditional Chinese Medicine Warehouse Case Study: 24,400 Storage Locations with ASRS
Traditional Chinese Medicine warehouses often face a difficult balance between storage density, product traceability, order picking efficiency, and material quality control. When product categories increase and order structures become more complex, traditional manual storage and picking can no longer support efficient warehouse operations.
In one DELIECN project for a large-scale Traditional Chinese Medicine decoction pieces manufacturer, the customer needed a smart warehouse logistics system to support large-volume herbal medicine storage, digital inventory management, and efficient goods-to-person picking.
Customer Background
The customer produces more than 2,000 specifications of Traditional Chinese Medicine decoction pieces, with an annual output of about 35,000 tons. As the business continued to expand, the company needed to improve warehouse capacity, inventory accuracy, and order fulfillment efficiency.
The project goal was clear: build an automated warehouse system that could support dense storage, batch management, FIFO control, and high-efficiency picking.
DELIECN Solution
DELIECN designed a combined Automated Warehouse Solution with two major systems:
For large material frames. Designed with 2,400 effective storage locations. Deployed Stacker Cranes with single-deep and double-deep fork configurations. Supports loads up to400 kg.
For small-package herbal medicine picking. Designed with 22,000 effective storage locations, using 12 robots, 1 level-changing lift, and 4 high-speed lifters. Supports loads up to 30 kg.
Together, the project achieved 24,400 effective storage locations.
Project Results
- ✓Goods-to-person picking for small-package herbal medicine
- ✓Full-process traceability from storage to picking
- ✓Better support for large-scale and high-SKU herbal medicine management
Why This Case Matters
This project is not a single-equipment upgrade. It combines bulk storage, small-item picking, WMS/WCS coordination, barcode recognition, weighing, profile inspection, and goods-to-person workflows.
For pharmaceutical and Traditional Chinese Medicine companies, this type of integrated design helps improve both storage capacity and operational accuracy.
FAQ
The project combined Stacker Crane ASRS and tote four-way shuttle ASRS.
The complete system provided 24,400 effective storage locations.
Large material frames and small tote-based items have different storage and picking needs. A combined design supports both bulk storage and high-frequency picking.
