Automated rack-type storage systems

The automated storage system is designed to receive, store and issue oversized parts, assemblies, and units with computerised accounting of their movement.

The automated storage system is designed for receiving, storing, and issuing large-sized parts, assemblies, and units at the central warehouse of a company with computerised accounting of their movement through the storage area. The units received by the storage system are placed on special cassettes with their subsequent storage in the storage cells. Products can be placed in cassettes on euro pallets (up to 3 pieces per cassette), individual pallets, or storage trays designed for each type of product.

Sensors monitor the loading dimensions and weights when stacking units on cassettes with automatic blocking of the storage system manipulator operation in case of exceeding the permissible values.

The permissible loading weight of the cassettes of the lower rows is 2000 kg, and of the upper rows is 1500 kg.

The operator controls the storage system operation using the computer connected to the storage system. The storage system operates in automatic mode, manual operation mode is available for adjustment only. The racking system of the storage system is a prefabricated metal structure made of special profiles connected by crossbeams and strut system and it is designed for the installation of cassettes on the racking crossbeams.

Operation principle

Stacking and removal of the cassettes from the shelf of the racks of the storage system is carried out with the help of a stacker. For loading/unloading the cassettes of the racking system a special lifting arm is used, which is moved to the unloading window along the entire length of the system. The number of free cell for a cassette is selected by the operator on the control panel. The cassette is delivered to the destination automatically.
