RACKING WITH STACKERS
STORAGE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
Automated warehouses consist of a static racking structure, stacker cranes (devices used for moving load units), a conveyor system for the safe loading and unloading of goods, and WMS-class software that manages warehouse operations from unloading goods to their dispatch. PROMAG S.A. provides comprehensive solutions, equipping clients with both warehouse infrastructure and the software to manage it.
ADVANTAGES OF STACKER RACKING:
- reduced storage costs through lower staffing requirements
- optimization of available space utilization, reaching warehouse heights of up to 40 meters
- higher storage density – improved utilization of warehouse volume; with stacker cranes, the working aisle is the size of the load unit plus minimal safe manipulation clearances
- maximum possible warehouse throughput – 24/7 operation throughout the year without human intervention, ensuring consistent performance
- elimination of errors common in manual warehouse management
- improved storage security through controlled access
- lower facility maintenance costs – no need for lighting or heating the warehouse
- enhanced fire safety measures not feasible in conventional warehouses due to the absence of personnel inside the warehouse
DETAILED INFORMATION:
- storage height exceeding 15 meters
- conventional warehouses and self-supporting structures (warehouse silos)
- high turnover of goods
- fast-paced operations
- cold storage and freezing warehouses
- racking structure tailored to load units and warehouse design, including required capacity, number of indexes, flows, and work cycles
- appropriate stacker cranes based on the selected racking system, load unit, and warehouse concept
- wide range of load units, from small plastic containers (Miniload systems) through standard units based on euro pallets to non-standard pallets, containers, and other unconventional loads
- suitable conveyor systems and other internal transport devices as an essential element for loading and unloading units to and from the warehouse
- comprehensive safety system protecting against unauthorized access to the automated warehouse work area
- automated warehouses can be built as equipment for existing and planned warehouse buildings or as a self-supporting structure (so-called warehouse silo)
- such warehouses must be equipped with warehouse management software (WMS), often integrated with existing or new management systems in the client’s organization
Warehouses equipped with stacker crane racking systems must also include software for managing warehouse processes, from unloading goods to their dispatch (WMS). PROMAG S.A. provides comprehensive solutions, equipping its clients with both warehouse infrastructure and the software to manage it.
