Many workshop technicians have experienced that when storing small parts and fasteners, traditional shelves have to be flipped over one by one, and it takes half a day to search for goods. Occasionally, they may also pick up the wrong goods due to remembering the mixing location - in fact, these troubles can be solved by the design of intelligent Horizontal Revolving Cabinets. The intelligent horizontal revolving cabinet is not fixed like traditional shelves, but relies on dynamic structure to achieve "finding people for goods". Today, Keming Intelligent Technology is designed to meet the needs of the workshop in terms of working principle, precise positioning, and fast access.

Firstly, let's talk about the working principle of the intelligent horizontal revolving cabinet, which is centered around "horizontal circulation+modular cargo compartment". It has rows of independent compartments inside, which circulate along horizontal tracks like an automatic conveyor belt with multiple 'small drawers'. Normally, parts are placed in different compartments by category. When picking up the goods, there is no need for people to search for them. Instead, the control system sends instructions to drive the compartments to rotate horizontally, directly delivering the target compartments to the pickup port. For example, if the workshop needs to retrieve screws of a certain specification, there is no need to squat in front of the shelves and flip them over. The intelligent horizontal revolving cabinet will automatically turn the cargo compartment containing screws over, saving the effort of running back and forth. This is particularly useful for workshops filled with scattered parts.

Looking at how it achieves precise positioning, the key lies in the combination of "sensors+coding system". The track and cargo compartment of the intelligent horizontal revolving cabinet are equipped with photoelectric sensors and position encoders, and each cargo compartment has a unique "identity identifier". When the system receives a pickup instruction, the encoder will calculate the position of the cargo compartment in real time, and the photoelectric sensor will act like an "eye" to accurately identify whether the cargo compartment is in place, with an error controlled at the millimeter level. Unlike traditional storage that relies on people remembering the location, which may occasionally result in omissions or mistakes, intelligent horizontal revolving cabinets rely on equipment positioning. No matter how many compartments are stored, they can accurately find the target. For example, when picking up small parts for molds, they will never take them wrong just because the compartments are close, making them particularly suitable for electronics and hardware workshops that require precision.

As for fast access, the core is "direct instruction+reducing invalid actions". Traditionally, picking up goods involves walking over, finding a location, and bending down to retrieve them, which takes several minutes; As long as the part information is input on the control panel, the intelligent horizontal revolving cabinet will automatically plan the shortest circulation path, and the cargo compartment does not need to take a long route, it can be directly transferred to the pickup port. And its pickup port is highly ergonomic, without the need for tiptoeing or bending over, making it very easy to pick up. For example, in order to rush through the workshop and obtain multiple parts, there is no need to run the shelves repeatedly. Instead, instructions are sent sequentially on the intelligent horizontal revolving cabinet, and the goods are delivered one by one. The storage and retrieval efficiency is much faster than traditional methods, which is just in line with the fast-paced production needs of the workshop.

In fact, for factories that store scattered parts, the design of intelligent horizontal revolving cabinets is not a "flower rack" - the working principle solves the problem of "goods not moving", precise positioning avoids picking up the wrong or missing items, fast access saves time in finding goods, and every point hits the pain point of traditional storage. It is both worry free and efficient to use, and is very suitable for the actual production needs of the workshop.
