Mobile shelves: compact storage and optimum utilisation of the space

Picture of Mobile shelves
The mobile shelves offer the optimum solution when it treats to reduce of significant way the space of storage. The system of mobile shelves combined with the system of navigation by laser by means of a carretilla trilateral without person on board represents an innovation to international level, inside the range of the systems of automatic storage.

The system, especially developed by SSI Schäfer to cover the exigencias increasingly complex of the market, composes of the following elements: a system of mobile shelves, a carretilla trilateral without man on board, a system of navigation by laser, a system of control of flow of material and a system of carriers.

This system has been installed for the first time in the centre of distribution of the German logistical operator Simon Hegele GmbH in Kemnath. Still GmbH Acts like partner for the supply of the carretilla trilateral and the system of navigation by means of laser has been developed in collaboration with the company LogObject AG.

The technology of the “mobile shelving automated” is ideal for his application in the storage to temperatures controlled (cold and frozen products), since it allows his use continued in three turns of work, the seven days of the week.

The pallets and containers to store are transported, by means of a standard system of carriers until a position confronted with the corridor that finds in open position of the mobile shelving. The collected effects of automatic way with the carretilla trilateral without driver, as a willing scanner in the forks allows to determine the type of unit of load used, already was palet or container. The carretilla trilateral is, to his time, controlled by a computer system of management of warehouses, the software “ANT” of SSI Schäfer, adaptable to the requests and exigencias of each customer.

The flow of material and the processes are entirely automated. The travel of the carretilla trilateral in the corridor and in the zone of change of corridor are represented in a monitor.

The orientation of the carretilla trilateral in the corridor effects by means of two sensors of laser. These sensors scan the geometry of the shelving in real time by means of reflectors. In the element elevador, is installed another sensor laser, that recognises automatically the exact position of exit and entrance of the material. The maximum performance of the carretilla trilateral is of 20 double cycles by hour or 35 simple cycles by hour.

The system presents important advantages in front of the systems of conventional mobile shelves and, in quite a lot of situations, presents like a very valid alternative to the installations served by transelevador. One of the main is the aprovechamiento optimum of the space. This system can attain a saving of until 50% of the space required in conventional systems. Also it is remarkable his rapidity and continuity, since the processes of entrance and exit of material effect of way faster and continuous.

Likewise, the automation of the system allows an optimum adaptation to the logistical development in the warehouse and increases the hygiene.

They are flexible and reliable since the components of the flexible system and insurance guarantee a big availability and reliability in all the installation and allow to save time and win rapidity. Besides it is adaptable thanks to that the system adapts to the needs of each case in concrete and each customer in particular.
