With the patented Satellite load handling device, the intralogistics company Westfalia developed a system in 1983 for automatic multi-deep storage on pallets, other loading aids or without pallets. It enables particularly deep storage channels, maximum storage density and compactness thanks to maximum storage capacity on a minimum footprint.<\/strong><\/p>

With its warehouse, Westfalia solves challenges in the food, beverage and packaging industries, among others. Designed for temperatures down to -35 \u00b0C, the technology reduces the space to be cooled in refrigerated and deep-freeze warehouses and thus the energy costs.<\/strong> Highly customised existing areas and properties can be used effectively for logistics bundling. This creates investment security and reduces lorry kilometres.<\/p>

Today, this technology is tailored to many industries and their specific requirements. Westfalia has therefore doubled its production and testing capacities at the new site. Thanks to their customisation, satellites offer a wide range of variants for multi-depth compact storage - for unusual formats, particularly heavy loads or other requirements such as pair, triple and quadruple transport.<\/strong><\/p>

In a satellite warehouse, the storage and retrieval machines (SRMs) are equipped with one or more flat lane vehicles, the satellites. The SRM positions itself in front of the target lane. The satellite travels in from the SRM and moves along satellite rails, travelling underneath the goods and storing and retrieving them quickly and gently by raising or lowering them. Satellites handle lengthwise and crosswise storage of load units and utilise limited storage heights effectively.<\/strong> Westfalia utilises particularly flat-bodied channel vehicles for a low approach dimension and optimum space efficiency. The satellite technology provides additional storage capacity, e.g. between hall trusses.<\/p>

Satellites are the heart of many turnkey storage and logistics systems that Westfalia has already supplied to more than 500 customers worldwide from a single source - from the initial consultation and design to realisation and long-term system support. The general contractor develops, designs and assembles many components directly at its headquarters.<\/strong> These include storage and retrieval machines, roller conveyors, transverse transfer carriages and vertical conveyors. He supplies and installs his systems including control systems and, depending on the customer order, including software and IT infrastructure.<\/p>
