“效率”是内部物流的一个关键词，而自动化则是大幅并持续提高效率的关键。作为公司的物流负责人，您应该知道每一次效率的长期提升对公司来说都是一次双赢。

对于自动化和提高效率究竟如何相互依存这一问题，下文将以简要概述的形式给出答案。

Efficiency is a key term in intralogistics and automation is the key to increasing efficiency significantly and sustainably. As the person responsible for logistics in your company, you know that every long-term increase in efficiency is a win-win situation.

The answers to the question of how exactly automation and increased efficiency are mutually dependent are summarized below in the form of a brief overview.

传统仓库作业的问题

Problems of conventional warehouse operations

大家都很清楚，传统的生产和仓储作业需要投入大量的人力和物力，以确保每小时所需的托盘吞吐量，从而实现最佳运营。事实上，由于员工休病假而没有短期替代人员或运输车辆出现技术问题而造成延误的情况并不少见。试图弥补这些延误往往会导致出错率、事故率升高，和/或货物损坏的概率升高。

As you know well enough, conventional production and warehousing operations are faced with a high input of personnel and materials needed to ensure the necessary pallet throughput per hour for optimal operations. In fact, however, it is not uncommon for delays to occur due to sick leave without short-term replacements or technical problems of the transport vehicles. The attempt to compensate for these delays often leads to higher error rates, a higher probability of accidents and/or damage to goods.

通过自动化手段协助提高效率

Assistance and efficiency increase by means of automation

正是在上述这些方面，自动化和自主内部物流系统的使用大大提高了效率。通过接管原本需要由员工完成的基本物流流程，自动化系统可实现全年 365 天连续运行，不会出现延误、质量损失和波动。

其结果是稳定、持续的物料流，使所有物流更可预测、更可靠、更可扩展。

It is precisely in these points that the use of automated and autonomous intralogistics systems brings about a significant increase in efficiency. By taking over basic logistics processes that would otherwise have to be performed by your staff, automation enables continuous operation 365 days a year with no delays, no loss of quality, and no fluctuations.
The result is a stable and continuous flow of materials, making all logistics more predictable, reliable, and scalable.

效率与安全

Efficiency safety

在效率保障方面，AMR（自主移动机器人）等自主解决方案比其他自动化系统领先一大步。由于它们被设计为不依赖于任何中央控制单元的通信和学习单元，因此即使其中一个单元出现问题，剩余的 AMR 机群也能不受限制地继续运行。这样，您/它们就能确保不会出现完全停顿的情况。

因此，提高效率和效率保障是内部物流自动化的两大核心原因。

In terms of efficiency security, autonomous solutions like AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) are a big step ahead of other automation systems. Because they are designed as communicating and learning units that are also not dependent on any central control unit, the remaining AMR fleet continues to operate without restriction, even if one of the units should experience problems. In this way, you/they ensure that there is no complete standstill.

Increased efficiency and efficiency security are thus two central reasons that - among many others - speak for automation in intralogistics.
