Vertical Lift Module as a game changer in small parts storage for assembly
Saving space, increasing efficiency, digitizing and accelerating processes - that's how Kellenberger AG in Switzerland does it.
Project Description
The manufacture of precision grinding machines is the core competence of the company. In order to be able to continue producing lucratively in Switzerland in the future, the company decided to take a significant step towards digitalization and modern warehouse logistics with optimized use of space.
Challenge
• Integrate Vertical Lift Modules into existing ERP warehouse applications • Integrated Vertical Lift Modules can be operated simultaneously for different processes (storage, picking, retrieval) can be operated simultaneously • Optimum use of space, easy maintenance, individual operation • Fast delivery to production
Scope of Supply
• SSI SCHAEFER Vertical Lift Modules will play a key role at the new site. Thanks to the compact vertical design of the SSI LOGIMAT® Vertical Lift System and the use of the hall height, an enormous storage density was achieved and the total logistics area was reduced by 35%. • A total of 6 Vertical Lift Modules and the WAMAS Lift & Store software were integrated, which help to digitalize the processes and optimize the material flow for assembly supply. • The additional installation of cantilever and PR 600 pallet racking created further compact storage space for pallets and long goods.
