50% more than compactación of storage with Schaefer Carousel System

Editorial Interempresas11/02/2013

The Schaefer Carousel System (SCS) of SSI Schaefer offers an innovative and profitable system for a picking extremely dynamic of articles. 1.000 ‘picks' by hour, high density of storage and his modular design do of the SCS a solution in which it can base the process of manufacturing of requests with the level of performance required.

This system supposes, between other advantages, the guarantee of a short time of implementation as well as a high quality of the manufacturing of requests based in the exclusive system of guide for the user. It treats of a system whose installation saves space and resources and of flexibility practically boundless regarding variety of articles.

Containers designed for the system

The system SCS standard consists in four carruseles, each one of which has an independent automatic unit of load and download. His dense structure saves space and provides a capacity until 6.000 containers with a standard system of 4 carruseles. The corresponding containers can divide in a maximum of 16 compartments and have a maximum capacity of storage of 25 kilograms.

These cubetas of storage are handled by elevadores entirely automatic with his corresponding devices of load and extraction equipment equipment. The devices of extraction equipment equipment of the elevadores extract the cubetas of his locations in the one of the carruseles of the four corridors and deliver them to the circuit of integrated cheese cheese transport (loop). This ‘loop' carries the cubetas to the places of picking. The consequent decoupling of the movements allows to bend the cycles of storage/extraction equipment equipment of the elevadores regarding the conventional systems employees in the market. Besides it allows to integrate the activities of reaprovisionamiento in the operations of picking without interruption any.

The efficient and ergonomic implementation of the principle ‘commodity to the man' is an essential factor that allows a high and continuous performance without converting the work in tiring. A system of guided unambiguous of the operarios confirms, directs and controls each process of picking with systems Pick-by-Light or Put-to-Light.

Thanks to this optimisation of the processes of work, the tax of picking by each operario can elevate until 1.000 picks by hour, while the tax of errors of picking reduces until almost zero. In the station of work can develop all the functions of a warehouse: manufacturing of requests, entrance of commodity, gestión of returns, inventory and other activities of gestión of articles.

Pick-to-Tote:

Particularly apt for big articles, weighed and/or sensitive, with a high performance, ergonomic and without errors. The articles are deposited directly in the cubeta of request.

Pick-to-Bucket:

Picking decoupled of the cubeta of request, where the products deposit in a funnel manifold. It uses for light and apt products so that they can be left fall from some height.
