Flexible WAREHOUSE TECHNOLOGY creates modern work stations

The integrated, customized overall solution includes a 10-aisle order picking high-bay warehouse with 18,000 pallet storage locations, where employees pick orders using software-guided roll containers. Additionally, there is a 9-aisle automatic high-bay warehouse (HRL) with 15,500 storage locations, serving as a buffer storage. For the picking of medium- and slow-moving items, SSI SCHAEFER has also installed a 12-aisle small parts warehouse (AKL) with over 200,000 container storage locations, served by SSI Miniload automated storage and retrieval machines. Furthermore, a 12-aisle SSI Cuby Shuttle system with 76,800 storage locations is in place.

About 1 km of pallet conveyor and 5.5 km of bin conveyor systems connect the automated storage systems, including 20 workstations in receiving and nine ergonomic, product-friendly, and health-conscious order picking workstations called Advanced Pick Stations, also guided by WAMAS. Order picking, followed by automatic palletization at the outbound area, is carried out according to the customer’s defined timeframes. WAMAS coordinates the processes accordingly at an early stage so that all orders can be processed properly and on time.
