According to the characteristics of its production process, manufacturing industry can be divided into two categories: discrete manufacturing and process manufacturing. The typical discrete manufacturing industry is mainly engaged in single piece and small batch production, which is suitable for order oriented production organization. Representative industries are mechanical processing, electronic components manufacturing, automobile, clothing...

According to the variety of raw materials to finished products, the manufacturing industry can be divided into three categories: A-shaped, V-shaped and T-shaped. Manufacturing enterprises choose one or more types of manufacturing activities according to different products and processes. A-type enterprises are characterized by more types of finished products than raw materials. Such enterprises are mostly found in chemical materials, textile and hospital building materials industries. Due to the large number of finished products, inventory management tends to pick and deliver goods. The timeliness of product delivery and customer service awareness require a lot of manpower. V-shaped enterprises are characterized by more types of raw materials than the final products. Such enterprises are mostly found in machinery manufacturing, equipment and heavy industry industries. Due to the large quantity of raw materials, the inventory pressure of work in process and materials, the response speed of supply chain links is high, and the pressure of receiving and distributing goods is large. T-shaped enterprises are characterized by the fact that the raw materials of the final products can be used universally. Such enterprises are mostly found in the industries of instruments, household appliances and consumer goods. As a large number of finished products can be shared, there is a large amount of stock in warehouse inventory and manufacturing on-the-job, which requires higher production management ability and production supply and marketing allocation capacity. The warehouse needs to inspect and guarantee the arrival of materials Management work, but also need to timely distribution of materials.

The digital intelligent factory solution is a set of integrated intelligent manufacturing solutions for factories and enterprises combining lean production management, industrial Internet of things and digital management system. According to the lean, information, automation and intelligent factory design ideas and methods, Hermann automation system will provide customers with systematic and comprehensive intelligent factory solution design based on the experience of stamping, machining, welding, spraying, injection molding, assembly, testing, packaging and other process technologies in different industries, such as household appliances, electronics, machinery, automobile, food, chemical industry, etc.

The characteristics of warehouse logistics in manufacturing industry are closely combined with production, including raw material warehouse, semi-finished product warehouse and finished product warehouse, as well as line side warehouse combined with production line. The specification and quantity of materials vary greatly according to the specific products and industries. The application scenarios are mainly raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products warehouse, line side warehouse and so on. Corresponding automation high bay storage warehouse normally designed based on pallet SRMs, Miniload SRMs and multi-shuttles.
