Apparel Flow Smart Hub: Stacker AS/RS Reconstructs the Efficient Rhythm of Apparel Supply Chain

Traditional flat warehouses had only 28% space utilization. With numerous SKUs and fast seasonal changes, manual sorting was prone to errors, and peak order handling capacity was insufficient, demanding a stacker AS/RS upgrade.

• Deployed a stacker AS/RS with 30,000+ positions, boosting space utilization to 85%

• Stackers + conveyors enabled fully automated access, sorting and inventory for apparel

• WMS integration for precise batch/shelf-life management and dynamic omni-channel inventory scheduling

• Diverse apparel packaging demanded precise and stable access for stackers to different-sized garments and cartons

• Sharp order surges during e-commerce promotions required efficient and stable system operation

• Real-time synchronization with ERP and OMS for closed-loop full-link data and rapid transfers

• Space Expansion: Storage capacity increased by 3x to support rapid business growth

• Efficiency Gain: Sorting efficiency increased by 250%, with error rates reduced to <0.03%

• Cost Optimization: Labor costs cut by 75%, saving over 4.5 million yuan in annual operating costs
