Automated Pallet Storage for Heavy Fasteners

Shanghai · Founded in 2001

Storage location volume increase: 50%
Reduction in staffing: 5people
Peak labor productivity increase: 100%

The challenge

Managing heavy materials for varied orders

The project supports heavy-material storage for small-batch orders across multiple specifications, with automated handling and traceability management.

The solution

Automated pallet storage linked to production

Single-deep pallet stacker cranes automate storage and retrieval through dedicated workstations. First-in, first-out handling and ERP and MES integration connect warehouse operations with production.

Project configuration

Cranes and workstations: 5 single-deep pallet stacker cranes and 3 workstation groups
Crane throughput: Average 45 pallets/h per crane under mixed operating conditions
Storage operations: Automated storage and retrieval with first-in, first-out management to reduce manual handling
System integration: ERP and MES integration connecting warehousing with production
