Modernization of the existing warehouse with an AutoStore® system
BLG Handelslogistics: Modern AutoStore® and container conveyor technology at the Ochtrup site
BLG Handelslogistik GmbH & Co. KG, is installing a new AutoStore® system and container conveyor technology for the storage and transportation of clothing and accessories at its site in Ochtrup. HÖRMANN Intralogistics has modernized the entire system in an existing warehouse and achieved great efficiency. Performance remains stable even with high loads and strongly fluctuating throughput requirements.
The concept
BLG Handelslogistik GmbH & Co. KG, is building a new AutoStore® system and container conveyor technology for the storage and transportation of clothing and accessories at its site in Ochtrup. The entire system will be installed in an existing warehouse with a clear height of 11,500 mm up to the interfering contour on the ceiling. All Carouselports on the AutoStore® system are equipped so that goods can be received or picked at any time.
Project goals and challenges:
BLG Logistics needed a solution that:
- enables a high storage density on existing space,
- reduces search and travel times,
- automation for growing requirements
- efficient material flow - digitalization and just-in-time delivery
The solution in detail
A compact AutoStore® system was implemented for Christ Packing Systems that is precisely tailored to the spatial and process-related requirements of the site.
The system comprises:
- 48 AutoStore® robots for dynamic storage and retrieval
- 9 ergonomic carousel ports for goods receipt & picking
- 95.500 bins for structured and maximally compacted article organization
- A grid measuring 76.3 × 30.4 × 5.4 m, optimally fitted into the hall environment
In order to minimize the number of outgoing goods workstations and robots, the logistics data provided was analysed and the picking orders were combined using special batch formation algorithms. This makes it possible for a single employee to process up to eight picking orders simultaneously at one Carousel port.
