Abstract
An innovative Storage and Retrieval (S/R-) machine can drive around obstacles like conveyor lines or escape routes in the upper and lower part of a warehouses shelf. This innovative S/R machine can also drive around a second S/R machine in its warehouses aisle, so that one or two of these machines can operate independently in one aisle. These improvements open new applications in warehouse planning, management and production:
-
The dimensions of the warehouse (height, length width) can be easier adjusted to the existing building development and building regulations.
-
The handling capacity can be upgraded aisle by aisle, which allows to scale the handling capacity to the increasing demand.
-
The warehouse can be integrated in the manufacturing or assembly area and integrates in house transport into storage.
These improvements enhance storage capacity, save space and expand handling capacity, thus saving investment and cost compared to conventional warehouse technology.
