Thanks to the connection to the ERP system, the 330 flexible storage spaces are automatically prioritized, dynamically sorted, and stocked. Weyland GmbH customers benefit from gentle material handling combined with high dynamics during demand-driven, fully automated material assembly.

Due to the large hall area and the resulting excessive span for a single storage system, a two-row storage system with two levels each was chosen. The storage systems are perfectly connected to each other, and panels can be exchanged between the storage systems at any time. Optimal space utilization and fast handling times are guaranteed by the highly chaotic storage of C and D items in the rear storage area.

Until now, panels have been handled in the existing racking system using 4-way forklifts and manual picking. The aim was to replace this with an intelligent storage system with fully automated picking. The storage system consists of two levels, each with one manipulator. If more throughput is required in the future, it is possible to expand to two manipulators per level. The four input bays allow up to ten plate packages to be stored at the same time.

The highlight of the system is fully automatic labeling (ETP) of the finished, picked, and bundled packages. The A4-sized labels are attached to the edge of the packages. Warehouse staff can scan all the information required for allocation and loading directly from the forklift using QR codes. The label design is flexible: company logo, additional information, QR or barcodes.
