Mobile racking system & automated guided vehicles

Even more efficient together – mobile racks in combination with automated guided vehicles ensure space savings and material flow optimization

When existing warehouses need to be upgraded without the option of expansion, or new buildings require a smaller design due to high property prices or other limiting factors, more and more companies opt for the use of mobile racks in combination with automated guided vehicles. This solution package by SSI SCHAEFER can be integrated without problems into existing warehouse layouts, ensures space gain, enables a constant material flow around the clock and helps to reduce operating costs in the long run. Staff dependency is reduced and the error rate tends to be zero.

Your challenges

Identifying potentials for improvement and solving challenges of large load carrier handling

•  Shortage of specialists
Lack of skilled personnel to meet increasing requirements.

•  Competitiveness jeopardized
Cost pressure due to manual warehousing processes with increasing salary expenses.

•  Exploited hall cubature
Storage area cannot be expanded due to structural conditions.

•  Time limitations
Manual warehouse processes can only be transferred to 24/7 production at increased expense.

•  Low picking performance
Inadequate delivery quality and on-time delivery generate declining customer satisfaction.

•  No continuous flow of goods
Material buffering ensures unproductive work processes and occupies storage space.

Benefits of combining pallet mobile racking systems and automated guided vehicles at a glance:

✓ 40% less space required than with stationary rack lines

✓ Only one operating aisle to access stored goods

✓ Storage capacity increased by more than 90%

✓ 85% more storage quantity on the same footprint

✓ Constantly timed flow of goods and error reduction

✓ Improved workload and reduction of buffered stock
