Kunert Wellpappe is planning a new automated high-bay warehouse to create space for production expansions. H\u00f6rmann Logistik has been awarded the contract to realise the warehouse with connecting conveyor technology.<\/p>\n

The Kunert corrugated board Bad Neustadt<\/strong> GmbH is part of the family-run Kunert Group, which 300,000 tonnes of cores, edge protectors and packaging made of corrugated board every year<\/strong> and over 225,000 tonnes of core board<\/strong> produced.<\/p>\n

The new warehouse is also intended to Changed customer requirements<\/strong> to smaller order quantities, Shorter delivery cycles<\/strong> and Efficient inventory management<\/strong> to fulfil the requirements. A special feature of the four-aisle channel storage system is the Multi-deep transverse storage of a wide variety of finished goods formats<\/strong> on different pallet types and on several sub-pallets.<\/p>

The packaging units are transported from production on a distribution trolley for transfer to the new conveyor system. Care is already taken during production to ensure that, wherever possible Two identical packing units in a row<\/strong> transported, which then in the high-bay warehouse area as a pair<\/strong> can be conveyed, stored and retrieved. This Increases throughput capacity<\/strong> of the warehouse. A packing unit can have up to six sub-pallets. About a contour control<\/strong> the packing units are centred and checked for length, width, height, pallet width, pallet length and weight. The conveyor system then takes the packaging units to the pre-zone of the high-bay warehouse, where a pallet circuit with special chain conveyors and roller lifting tables<\/strong> The system combines the areas of production, high-bay warehouse and dispatch provision.<\/p>\n

For storage in the new channel storage system, the packing units are stored at the storage point. with the help of a light grid<\/strong> precisely positioned. The Two-mast storage and retrieval machines (RBG)<\/strong> are equipped with chain conveyors and channel vehicles. In two aisles of the warehouse, the SRMs work with one channel vehicle each, in the other two aisles with two channel vehicles each to handle the transport of large pallets. The Sewerage vehicles are battery-powered<\/strong> and are loaded on the stacker crane during operation. The storage and retrieval machine picks up the packing unit crosswise and stores them several times deep in the storage channels with the help of the sewer vehicles<\/strong> in.<\/p>
