How to choose the proper logistics packaging container?

【Chinese Packaging Network News】Logistics packaging containers are the largest inventory of monomer, but also the most commonly used logistics equipment (larger domestic sorting center for garment enterprises, up to 100,000 container turnover class containers), if there is no logistics container For the protection and turnover of goods, the order of warehousing operation will not be established. Each logistics container is not only the basis for warehouse management but also the guarantee for the efficient operation of the supply chain. A high-quality logistics container must have at least the following characteristics:

1, can better protect the goods, to avoid moisture, corrosion and other issues that may arise in the transport.

2. It can realize the standardization of logistics in the industry, optimize the cooperation with various transportation equipments in the production, storage, transportation and sales of goods, and improve the sorting efficiency.

3, as a carrier of logistics operations information transmission, logistics containers should have a convenient location for information processing, so that managers can quickly read product information and achieve efficient sorting.

So how do we choose a suitable logistics container?

1, is the best for their own. The commonly used logistics containers are trays, turnover boxes, material boxes, etc., and they are made of wood, plastic, and metal in their materials. When selecting a product, it is necessary to consider actual usage requirements, including the size of the contents, storage conditions, and logistics. Costs, etc. Although the turnover box is widely used, it is not suitable for the storage and turnover of small parts. Although paper and wood logistics containers have low cost but high breakage rate, they often result in higher total cost, so they are not the most used when selecting logistics containers. However, it is most suitable for their own needs.

2, taking into account the needs of later business development. The production and sales companies should reserve a certain amount of expansion space for storage planning. On the one hand, they should consider expanding production and sales, and on the other hand, they can also deal with periodic product demand fluctuations. For third-party logistics companies, this is particularly important. We must try our best to choose a logistics container that is highly versatile. One-time large-scale procurement can reduce procurement costs. Therefore, we should consider various factors such as container selection, industry standards, and operation scale.

3, in the same logistics center, try to use less standard logistics containers, covering most of the goods, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Distributing within the logistics center is the best way to avoid failure (unless the industry features or planning operations require a box), and try to integrate the containers in storage, picking, and delivery.

4, pay attention to the information reserved area and other details of the design. Many domestic logistics companies initially introduce foreign product designs, so there is a certain degree of homogeneity. In this case, you may choose to start with small details to choose a logistics container. For example, if the label is a sticker or a card, the card needs to be transparent. Design, but the high degree of automation of the warehouse is generally sticky stickers, the best choice for the logistics area with a skinned paste area. The information carrier is also an important function of the logistics container, so although this design lies in the details, it has an important impact on the use of the box.

5, the storage characteristics of the goods, whether there is a special storage needs. For example, some electronic parts need special anti-static storage containers, and they also have certain requirements for anti-static coefficients. Improper storage can easily cause electronic components to be scrapped, causing additional economic losses. Therefore, we must select qualified electronic parts turnover box or material box. In China, the more used ones are the boxes of Guanyu Industrialists, which can be customized according to your specific usage.

To choose a suitable logistics container, one must fully consider the storage conditions of its own goods, the standardization of construction on the supply chain, the use requirements in the warehousing process, logistics costs and other factors. In the specific purchase, we should also pay attention to the logistics container. The use of materials, the use of recycled materials and new materials of plastic products, in the service life and actual use of the results are greater differences, should try to choose the products of large manufacturers to reduce the risk of procurement.

Loading, unloading and transportation are indispensable links in the process of logistics transportation. If there is no proper loading and unloading tools and proper methods, the goods will be loaded onto the car, and the process of unloading from the car will also result in the loss of goods during loading and unloading. Under normal circumstances, large and medium-sized logistics companies warehouses are equipped with loading and unloading platforms to facilitate the vehicle approaching the platform, and handling tools such as forklifts or land bulldozers are used to carry out loading and unloading of goods within the carriage.

This saves labor, saves time, and has high efficiency. The probability of falling goods is also low. However, during the process of moving the forklift, it is necessary to guard against accidents such as collision of the forklift and rolling of bad cargo. Therefore, the library will generally require a speed limit of 5 KM/H or less, and the driver of the forklift must be trained by a qualified and effective training organization and obtain a valid qualification driving certificate issued by him.

For logistics companies that do not have loading and unloading platforms, there is a lot of trouble and difficulties in the loading and unloading process. For a single piece of bulk cargo, the entire loading and unloading process takes time and effort. If there is a need for a loading and unloading truck when an ultra-heavy or over-weight item is encountered, if there is no proper loading and unloading tool, safety incidents such as dumping or falling can easily occur during the loading and unloading process, and it is even more time-consuming and laborious.

In addition to the safety risks of cargo collisions and falling during the loading and unloading of cargo, theft of the cargo in the carriage is also a non-negligible safety hazard.

This kind of security risk is generally internal staff, especially the stevedores or tally crews. They use the convenience of working in the train compartment. The light inside the cabin is dim and the CCTV monitoring cannot monitor the coverage. The criminals have such excellent conditions. Small items such as mobile phones are unpacked, stolen, and other items such as work clothes or items that are not easy to see in the body, will be removed from the scene immediately after completion or at rest time, or hidden.

Therefore, logistics companies are required to do a good job in surveillance and safety management. The location of vehicles approaching the dock in Hong Kong should be set up to monitor the entire loading and unloading process for a high-definition camera. Conditional logistics companies may consider setting up necessary gates at gates in and out of the warehouse area, and pass through the security screening scans for personnel entering and leaving the warehouse area.

Cargo stacking security risk

The goods the logistics company undertakes are not uniform and light and consistent in size and size. Most small and medium-sized logistics enterprises receive the collected goods from various small sites and sort them according to the address, direction, size, and severity of the recipients. However, during the actual operation, when the volume of goods is large, due to the lack of operation space, the goods are often stacked in a messy manner. Even if the search is difficult, it is impossible to regulate the code placement. In this pile of goods, there is bound to be a situation in which large cargo pressures small cargoes, heavy cargoes light cargoes, and fragile goods are mixed. This will inevitably bring hidden dangers to the integrity and security of the goods.

Due to the large number of pieces of cargo handled, the time required for cargo transfer is tight and other factors. It can be seen that the sorting personnel perform the rapid distribution of goods, causing the goods to be thrown, thrown or otherwise damaged. This is also likely to cause damage to the contents of the goods, or damage to the outer packaging, and even result in the leakage of the contents.

Therefore, to do a good job of training and education, when the delivery personnel are required to take goods back to the site, they should first classify the goods according to the attributes of the goods, and pay attention to the basic principles of stacking and stacking that do not stress or stress. And do a good job in regional segregation of dangerous goods, fragile goods, and high-value goods.

Warehouse storage security risk

Warehousing is an important part of the logistics operation process. All goods are stored and transferred here. Therefore, it is particularly important for the safety management of the goods during storage and storage. The following analysis from several aspects:

1. If the selected warehouse is self-built or leased, it must pass the fire safety inspection and acceptance! In the subsequent use process, ensure that the fire extinguishing equipment is intact and effective. Otherwise, not only will the public security and fire department check be punished in the future, but they will also be unable to effectively control fire safety risks.

2. Ensure that the warehouse preserves the conditions of light, temperature and humidity to ensure that the goods are kept under appropriate conditions. At the same time, the warehouse should be protected from water leakage, moisture from the goods, and infestation by termites.

3, storage of goods during storage is also very important, in addition to the need to comply with the principles of the code, the goods should finally be kept with windows, doors, walls have a distance of 100CM is appropriate. In addition, the goods should not be placed directly on the ground in order to prevent the surface from returning to wet goods or direct water soaking.

4. For other goods that are kept fresh and frozen, the attributes of the goods should be identified in a timely manner so as not to damage the goods in the same storage space.

Packaging protection risk

The packaging of goods not only makes the goods look beautiful, but also plays an important role in protecting the goods. The goods are collected by the originating station and distributed and transferred by the transfer station to the terminal destination. From the entire logistics process, we will find that many cargoes have been deformed, scattered, and damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to remedy these goods. The usual remedial measures are to directly replace the inner and outer packagings for the goods that have only broken outer packagings.

Change the packaging should pay attention to: excessive packaging caused by waste, no protection: the hardness of the outer packaging paper skin is not enough, but also not protection; internal packaging is not filled, can not stabilize the internal goods, but also does not play a safety precaution. Therefore, for the terminal delivery link, the goods should be dispatched as far as possible by palletizing. This saves the handling time and improves the efficiency. At the same time, it also has a good risk of secondary protection damage and loss.

There are many links involved in the logistics process and there is a high probability of security risks. Logistics companies must seriously consider how to reduce and reduce accidents. The paper focuses on the analysis of the process and links that are likely to cause accident safety risks, and also proposes corresponding preventive measures and improvement methods. I hope to give logistics companies some inspiration and help in how to avoid operational safety risks in the production process.
