We develop custom automated small parts warehouses or shuttle warehouses especially for low weight, high-turnover loads in bins, boxes or trays, ideal for classic warehouse functions as well as for buffer storage, goods service or use as a picking system.

 

The advantages at a glance

  • More room in existing building structures for excellent space utilisation
  • Lower construction costs for new warehouse space
  • Enormous flexibility and redundancy
  • High storage density
  • Rapid access to goods (fully automated storage and retrieval)
  • Maximum dynamics
  • Remarkably high throughput rates
  • Remarkable energy-efficient and sustainable through the use of power caps or buffer storage
  • Custom solutions, perfectly adapted to your requirements and products
  • Holistic support
  • Goods-to-person or person-to-goods order picking

 

»The new material flow concept ensures the greatest possible flexibility for our company, future growth, and secure and transparent processes. In the implementation of this challenging project, we could always rely on HÖRMANN Intralogistics as a professional and on-time partner.«

What are shuttle storage systems?

Automated small parts warehouses consist of one or more aisles where stacker cranes or shuttles store and retrieve totes, boxes or trays fully automatically, and serve them to picking stations.

Dynamic small parts storage for optimal space exploitation

The advantages of automated small parts warehouses include high storage density, rapid access to goods (fully automatic storage and retrieval) and optimal stock turnover rates. Shuttle systems in particular also offer maximum dynamics and particularly high throughput rates, enormous flexibility as well as ample redundancy. Using technology like power caps or buffer storage, these shuttle systems are remarkably energy-efficient and sustainable.

Incoming and outgoing storage is handled by shuttles or stacker cranes, and the automated small parts warehouses are linked to picking or other workstations via custom, innovative conveyor technology by HÖRMANN Klatt Conveyors.

 

Unlimited scalability

Another advantage is the almost unlimited scalability of the systems. Ever-shorter product life cycles, constantly changing product ranges and current market uncertainties make predictable business growth almost impossible. That's why we offer modular solutions that grow with your company and can be expanded as needed without too much effort.
