Automated Pallet Storage and Traceability for Heavy Automotive Parts

Founded in 1992

Improvement in space utilization: 2×
Inventory accuracy: 99%+
Material handling workforce optimization: 50%

The challenge

Handling heavy and irregular components

Heavy automotive parts and irregularly shaped materials require coordinated storage and handling. The project also addresses handling damage and traceable material supply.

The solution

Automated pallet storage with dedicated carriers

Single-deep pallet stacker cranes and dedicated load carriers automate storage and retrieval. Barcode verification, first-in, first-out management and synchronized warehouse systems support just-in-time supply.

Project configuration

Storage equipment and workstations: 4 single-deep pallet stacker cranes and 8 workstations
Average mixed-operation throughput: 40 pallets/h per crane
Load carriers: Dedicated carriers reduce handling impacts and damage
System integration: Real-time WMS and WCS synchronization; ERP and MES integration
