As a core carrier for digital and intelligent transformation, smart parks take "efficient collaboration, green and low-carbon, safe and controllable, intelligent and convenient" as their core goals. They integrate multiple scenarios such as warehousing and logistics, production and manufacturing, office services, and supporting management. Relying on technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, AI, and digital twins, they break information silos in various links and realize intelligent operation of the entire park process. As the core equipment for intelligent warehousing in the park, automated AS/RS (Automated Storage and Retrieval System), with its core advantages of space intensification, automated operation, refined management, and data visualization, not only solves the pain points of traditional park warehousing such as low space utilization, high labor dependence, low operational efficiency, and weak safety control, but also deeply integrates into the entire chain of park production, logistics, and management, becoming a key support for promoting the construction of smart parks and enhancing their core competitiveness. Combining practical cases such as Shandong Health Smart Pharmaceutical Warehousing and Logistics Park, Hebei Yongnian Industrial Park, and Chengdu North Rolling Stock Depot Axle Intelligent AS/RS, this paper details the application scenarios, core empowerment paths, application value, and development direction of automated AS/RS in smart park construction, providing reference for the planning, construction, and upgrading of various smart parks.Different from warehousing applications in a single industry, automated AS/RS in smart park scenarios focuses more on collaborative linkage with the overall intelligent system of the park. It not only needs to meet the differentiated warehousing needs of different formats in the park (such as manufacturing, logistics, medicine, rail transit supporting, etc.), but also adapts to the overall development goals of the park of "cost reduction, efficiency improvement, green development, and safety". Based on this, the promotion effect of automated AS/RS on smart parks mainly focuses on four dimensions: "intelligent upgrading of warehousing, full-chain collaborative linkage, green and low-carbon development, and safe and precise control", building an integrated application model suitable for multiple scenarios of smart parks.

I. Core Application Scenarios of Automated AS/RS in Smart Parks

Smart parks cover multiple formats such as production and manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, and supporting services. Combined with the needs of different park scenarios, automated AS/RS achieves precise adaptation and diversified applications, breaks the limitations of traditional warehousing, promotes the intelligent upgrading of various links in the park, and becomes an important hub for the intelligent operation of the park.

(I) Intelligent Warehousing Scenario for Park Logistics Hubs

Logistics hubs are the core supporting facilities of smart parks, undertaking the entire process tasks of goods storage, sorting, transshipment, and distribution for enterprises in the park. Under the traditional warehousing model, flat storage occupies a large amount of land resources, manual sorting and transshipment are inefficient, and problems such as wrong delivery, missing delivery, and delay are prone to occur, which is difficult to adapt to the "fast in and fast out" logistics needs of park enterprises. Through vertical space development and automated operation, automated AS/RS realizes the intelligent upgrading of park logistics hubs and becomes the core support for the efficient operation of park logistics.The core applications are reflected in: adopting high-rise shelves (up to 22-30 meters) to maximize the value of vertical space, with the storage capacity per unit area increased by 4-6 times compared with traditional flat warehouses, effectively solving the pain points of scarce land resources and tight warehousing space in the park. For example, the 22-meter-high automated AS/RS in Shandong Health Smart Pharmaceutical Warehousing and Logistics Park is equipped with 13,000 pallet positions and 8 aisles, with a storage capacity of 250,000 pieces and a maximum daily throughput of 40,000 boxes, greatly improving the park's logistics and warehousing capacity; combined with AGV/AMR robots and intelligent sorting systems, it realizes the full-process automated operation of goods warehousing, storage, sorting, and transshipment without manual intervention, achieving an efficient "goods-to-person" operation mode. Among them, the AGV trolleys in Shandong Health Smart Pharmaceutical Warehousing and Logistics Park rely on 5G technology and QR code navigation to automatically plan routes, avoid obstacles, and charge automatically, realizing zero packet loss and zero error transshipment; through the WMS intelligent management system, it seamlessly connects with the park's logistics management platform, real-time monitors the inventory status and transshipment trajectory of goods, automatically allocates storage positions and plans transshipment routes, realizing precise scheduling and efficient collaboration of park logistics. At the same time, it follows the principles of "first in, first out" and "last in, last out" according to algorithms, taking into account the validity period management of goods and improving logistics operation efficiency.

(II) Precision Warehousing Scenario for Park Manufacturing Supporting

In smart manufacturing parks, the storage and turnover of precision products such as aviation parts, electronic components, auto parts, and railway axles have high requirements for warehousing environment, access accuracy, and traceability, which are difficult to be met by traditional warehousing models. Aiming at the special needs of park manufacturing, automated AS/RS creates customized precision warehousing solutions, realizing intelligent management of "precision storage, safety protection, and full-process traceability", and helping the high-quality development of park manufacturing.The core applications are reflected in three aspects: first, customized storage environment control. According to the storage needs of precision products, a constant temperature and humidity, anti-static, and clean storage area is built in the AS/RS, equipped with intelligent temperature control, humidity adjustment, and anti-static equipment to real-time monitor environmental parameters with an error within ±0.5℃, ensuring the safe storage of precision products; second, high-precision access control. High-precision stackers (positioning accuracy ±1mm) are adopted, combined with laser anti-collision and visual recognition technologies, to realize precise access of precision products and avoid collision and wear. For example, the truss manipulator of the stacker in Chengdu North Rolling Stock Depot Axle Intelligent AS/RS can accurately clamp railway axles weighing 1.3 tons, realizing full-process unmanned access in less than 2 minutes; third, full-process traceability management. Through QR code and RFID technology, each product is given a unique identity code, bound with product model, batch, production information, access records, etc., realizing full-process traceability from production, warehousing, transshipment to outbound, meeting the quality control requirements of park manufacturing. The Chengdu North Rolling Stock Depot Axle Intelligent AS/RS is equipped with an exclusive QR code for each axle, recording core information such as axle diameter, original coupler height, and maintenance records, realizing the intelligent upgrading of "systematic axle matching".

(III) Multi-Format Collaborative Warehousing Scenario in the Park

Smart parks often gather multiple formats such as manufacturing, logistics, medicine, and e-commerce. The storage needs of different formats vary greatly. The traditional warehousing model is difficult to realize the collaborative management of multi-format goods, and problems such as waste of warehousing resources and chaotic operation processes are prone to occur. With the advantages of modularization and scalability, automated AS/RS realizes the collaborative adaptation of multi-format warehousing in the park, building an "integrated, intelligent, and flexible" collaborative warehousing system.The core applications are reflected in: adopting modular design, which can flexibly adjust the warehousing structure and storage position types according to the needs of different formats in the park, adapting to the storage needs of different categories such as precision parts, cold chain goods, ordinary goods, and e-commerce express. For example, the automated AS/RS solutions provided by Hebei Boke for park enterprises in different industries such as medicine, food, and alcohol can customize sorting and storage modes according to industry characteristics. Among them, the efficient and flexible sorting system built for wine enterprises has set an industry record of sorting 13,000 boxes per hour; through the park's integrated management platform, it realizes the collaborative linkage between the automated AS/RS and various enterprises and links in the park. Enterprises can real-time query inventory and issue access instructions through the platform, and the AS/RS automatically responds and operates efficiently, realizing "shared warehousing and collaborative transshipment of goods in the park" and reducing the waste of warehousing resources; combined with intelligent scheduling algorithms, it optimizes the transshipment routes of goods in the park, realizing the seamless connection between the AS/RS and the production workshops, logistics hubs, and distribution centers in the park, and improving the multi-format collaboration efficiency of the park. The intelligent logistics overall solution built by Hebei Boke for a large pharmaceutical enterprise in Shandong realizes the full-process "zero manual" intervention from packaging, palletizing to warehousing and outbound, and deeply collaborates with the pharmaceutical enterprise's production process, shortening the product delivery cycle by 40%.

(IV) Green and Low-Carbon Warehousing Scenario in the Park

Green and low-carbon is one of the core requirements for smart park construction. Under the traditional warehousing model, manual operation has high energy consumption and low land utilization, which is not in line with the park's green development concept. Through technological innovation, automated AS/RS realizes energy conservation, consumption reduction, and environmental protection in the warehousing link, helping smart parks build a green and low-carbon operation system.The core applications are reflected in: through vertical space development, reducing the demand for warehousing land, avoiding the waste of land resources caused by blind expansion of the park, and realizing "intensive land use"; adopting automated operation mode to reduce manual input, reduce energy consumption caused by manual operation, and optimize equipment operation efficiency, using energy-saving motors, intelligent sleep and other technologies to reduce the operation energy consumption of the AS/RS; realizing precise management of warehoused goods, reducing goods backlog and damage, reducing resource waste, and optimizing storage position allocation through the WMS system to reduce goods transshipment distance and logistics energy consumption. For example, the AI-driven robot factory cluster of Hebei Boke helps park enterprises reduce carbon emissions per unit output value by about 30%, achieving a win-win situation of economic and ecological benefits; some AS/RS adopt the "black light warehousing" mode without manual on duty, further reducing lighting energy consumption. The AS/RS in Shandong Health Smart Pharmaceutical Warehousing and Logistics Park has realized regular black light operation, greatly improving energy utilization efficiency.

II. Core Empowerment Paths of Automated AS/RS in Promoting Smart Park Construction
