Challenges:
The system was thoughtfully created to achieve the primary goal of the project, which was to maximize the efficiency of the expedition through:
- 80 trucks per day after 3 years of implementation
- 176 pallets per hour at the time of implementation
- Upgrading the CS1000 reading/coding system to a new ORCA system, including merging both the Result Server (RS) and the Revenue Protection System (RPS) into the new system
Solutions Implemented:
Körber successfully executed the project as a turn- key solution, handling the seamless integration of all automation components and racks. The Warehouse Control System, connected to the customer’s ERP, and Visualization were essential to complete the task at hand.
The ASRS operates in a multi-deep storage configuration, is extremely efficient with relatively low-energy- consumption.
The satellite vehicles handle the loads – which are euro pallets of 3 height classes up to 2.65 m – transferring them between different storage positions within the system. The movements of the usual shuttle car and the lifts are performed by the crane. The system includes the dispatch bay and two mezzanine levels for manual case picking.
