The invention relates to the technical field of compact shelves, discloses a high-rise intelligent compact shelf and a goods taking method, and solves the problems that goods on the high-rise compact shelf are inconvenient to find, and the taking efficiency is low. The high-rise intelligent compact shelf comprises a compact shelf body, and placing plates are arranged in the compact shelf body at equal intervals; and cameras are arranged at the inner top end of the compact shelf body and the middle positions of the bottom end of the placing plates, discharging ports are formed in one side of the compact shelf body at equal intervals, flow guide tables located on one sides of the discharging ports are arranged at the inner bottom ends of the discharging ports, and sealing plates located on one sides of the discharging ports are arranged on the compact shelf body. By arranging the compact shelf body, the placing plates, the discharging ports, the flow guide tables, the sealing platex, rotating rollers, belts, first turbines, first worms, a second motor, connecting buckles and the cameras, real-time monitoring of goods is facilitated, goods conveying is achieved, labor input is effectively reduced, workers are prevented from rummaging in a high layer, the goods taking efficiency is improved, and the goods can be taken out conveniently.
