Frequently asked

Glossary

1

AS/RS (Automated Storage and Retrieval System)

High-bay racking served by stacker cranes or shuttles and controlled by software. It is specified where storage density, controlled access and pick accuracy matter more than manual flexibility, and it is one of the anchor exhibit groups in the warehouse automation halls at KINTEX.

2

AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle)

A driverless transport vehicle that follows a fixed path - magnetic tape, floor markers or rails - to move pallets or totes between zones. Common in Korean automotive and electronics plants for line-side replenishment.

3

AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot)

A mobile robot that navigates with onboard sensors and a stored map rather than a fixed guide path, so fleets can be re-deployed between picking, transport and sorting zones without rebuilding the floor.

4

Goods-to-person (GTP)

A picking model in which robots, shuttles or mini-load cranes bring stock to a stationary picker, removing walking time from the order cycle. Frequently paired with pick-to-light or put-wall stations.

5

WMS (Warehouse Management System)

Software that directs put-away, picking, replenishment and inventory accuracy across a distribution centre, and increasingly orchestrates AMR, conveyor and sortation fleets as well as labour tasks.

6

WES / WCS

Warehouse Execution System and Warehouse Control System: the layer between WMS and hard automation that sequences conveyor, sortation and shuttle work in real time so mechanical throughput matches order release.

7

Sortation system

Cross-belt, tilt-tray or sliding-shoe conveyors that divert parcels or totes into destination lanes. Sort rate per hour and induction design are the usual specification points for parcel and e-commerce operators.

8

Cross-docking

A flow-through model where inbound goods are re-sorted and reloaded without being put away in storage, cutting inventory dwell time at regional hubs and 3PL consolidation centres.

9

Cold chain

Temperature-controlled handling from production through storage and delivery, spanning refrigerated and frozen warehouses, blast freezers, reefer transport, insulated packaging and temperature data logging for audit.

10

Selective racking and double-deep racking

Selective racking gives direct access to every pallet; double-deep and drive-in variants increase density at the cost of access. Rack design must match the local pallet footprint and the reach truck fleet.

11

T-11 pallet

The Korean unit-load pallet standard, approximately 1,100 x 1,100 mm. Automation, racking and forklift attachments shown for the Korean market are usually dimensioned around it, while export flows may also use ISO footprints.

12

Reach truck and counterbalance forklift

Electric warehouse trucks: reach trucks work narrow aisles on high racking, counterbalance trucks handle loading docks, ramps and mixed loads. Battery type and charging strategy are key operating decisions.

13

Dock leveller

An adjustable plate at a loading bay that bridges the height gap between the dock floor and the truck bed, usually combined with dock seals, shelters, restraints and traffic lights for safe loading.

14

Last-mile delivery

The final leg from a hub or micro-fulfilment centre to the consignee, where parcel lockers, route optimisation, cargo bikes and delivery-density pricing determine cost per drop.
