Automated small parts storage
The automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), type Miniload single-store are used for storage of small goods, mostly totes or cartons, with loads varying from 5 to 300 kg/unit.
The goods are handled automatically by AS/RS-cranes. The cranes, guided at both top and bottom, retrieve the totes from their location and present them at the picking location or deliver them directly onto the picking conveyor.
stow has built large automated racking installations with most known system integrators. Each automated storage system is adaptable to any type of AS/RS- handling device, equipped with telescopic forks, side grips or with another extracting system.
Goods in an automated racking system
The shape and quality of the plastic bin or carton is very important for a good design of the automated racking system. The width, the depth and the height of the totes determine the dimensions of one level. Different sizes of totes can be combined. The final dimensioning must take the specific requirements of the AS/RS crane into consideration.
