Optimising Warehouse Efficiency in the Manufacturing Sector

Project Background:

• Product Types: 7

• Horizontal Speed: 0-120m/min (adjustable)

• Stacking Layers: 11

• Vertical Speed: 0-30m/min (adjustable)

• Maximum Lifting Weight: 500kg

• Fork Extension Speed: 0-20m/min (adjustable)

Before Implementation:The previous system included machinery for transferring workpieces, automated loading and unloading, workpiece cleaning, and chip collection. The parts storage system was primarily used for storing both raw parts before machining and finished components after production. The materials used for the workpieces were AISI 304L stainless steel, with seven different types of parts.

Traditional automated storage systems typically had a delivery time of 6-10 months. However, STON's self-developed integrated drive-control system with a cabinet-free control system significantly reduced delivery time, with some systems ready for delivery in as little as 2 months. This system can reach heights of up to 40 metres and can handle a maximum load of 10 tonnes, offering a robust solution for industries requiring high-performance storage and handling.

Key Benefits:

• Faster Delivery: The STON solution can deliver in as little as 2 months, vastly improving project timelines.

• High Capacity: With a stacking capability of up to 11 layers and a lifting capacity of up to 10 tonnes, this system meets the most demanding storage needs.

• Flexible and Scalable: The adjustable speeds for both horizontal and vertical operations allow for tailored solutions to meet specific workflow requirements.

This project represents a significant leap in warehouse automation, driving productivity and reducing operational downtime in the manufacturing sector.
