Rondo Ganahl Aktiengesellschaft is a traditional Austrian family business with 220 years of history. The core business of the internationally active corrugated board specialists is the production of corrugated board packaging, corrugated board base papers and the collection of paper and packaging. The corrugated board plant in Frastanz (Vorarlberg), Austria, produces corrugated base papers on the basis of 100% recovered paper and, with white and flamed testliner grades, plays a leading role in the main markets of Germany and Austria. For the storage of finished goods, HÖRMANN Logistik has built a new high-bay warehouse with automatic production connection and shipping area, which was planned by Gutweniger Logistik GmbH.

Concept

The new 8-aisle high-bay warehouse (HRL) stores a wide variety of pallet formats made of wood or plastic. The HRL is used for production disposal, for delivery to and disposal from the picking areas, for the storage of merchandise and for the retrieval of goods for dispatch.

The pallets are loaded according to article, with the smaller pallet formats being stored in aisles 1-7, each of which is transported by a channel truck. A special stacker crane with four telescopic forks operates in aisle 8, which can store and retrieve large formats up to 3.1 m long. The pallets from production are transported from there via a conveyor bridge towards the high-bay warehouse. The goods required for picking are processed in order sequence. For this purpose, the storage and retrieval machines (SRM) of aisles 1-7 retrieve the goods on the first floor and then serve them to SRM 8, which transports the pallets to the upper floor, where they are transferred to the conveyor system to the picking areas.

For dispatch staging, the WMS HiLIS cleverly selects the required pallets in the correct retrieval sequence, achieving optimal warehouse performance. The pallets are retrieved by the SRMs and staged at the eight loading lane groups, each with two lanes. HiLIS assigns a loading lane group to each tour (truck). Medium and wide pallets occupy both lanes, smaller pallets only one lane.

The high-bay warehouse operates parallel to the operating hours of the corrugated board plant, 6 days a week, around the clock.  The system performance was designed to meet the requirements of production disposal, order picking supply and shipping performance. Warehouse management and control is carried out with the proven Hörmann intra Logistics System HiLIS, which communicates with the customer system via interface. Thanks to the HiLIS ECO power management system, the stacker cranes save up to 25% of energy consumption through intelligent energy balancing.

Highlights

•     8-aisle high-bay warehouse 74 x 70 x 29 m (L x W x H)
•     7 stacker cranes, each with a battery-powered channel truck
•     1 stacker crane for large formats with four telescopic forks
•     Storage capacity approx. 20,000 pallets
•     Max. Storage capacity 180 pallets per hour
•     Max. Retrieval capacity 25 pallets per hour

Das Hochregallager arbeitet parallel zu den Betriebszeiten des Wellpappenwerks an 6 Tagen die Woche, rund um die Uhr.  Die Anlagenleistung wurde auf die Anforderungen der Produktionsentsorgung, der Kommissionier-versorgung und der Versandleistung ausgelegt. Die Lagerverwaltung und –steuerung erfolgt mit dem bewährten Hörmann intra Logistics System HiLIS, das mit dem Kundensystem über Schnittstelle kommuniziert. Durch das HiLIS ECO-Powermanagementsystem sparen die Regalbediengeräte durch intelligenten Energieausgleich bis zu 25% des Energieverbrauchs.
