- Cost Savings: Automation leads to lower labor costs and reduced equipment maintenance, resulting in significant operational savings;
- Scalability: The system is designed to accommodate future growth, making it a long-term investment for Velingrad Alcalia;
Achievement: Outstanding rack design for pallets from STAMH Group
STAMH Group's rack design and engineering for pallets is meticulously made, taking into account the type, size, and weight of the stored goods. This ensures that the racks are robust and capable of supporting the weight of the stored items, providing a reliable and efficient storage solution;
INSTALLATION STEPS FOR INTEGRATING A NEW RADIO SHUTTLE RACKING SYSTEM FROM STAMH GROUP
When it comes to installing a new Radio Shuttle Racking System for pallets, several critical steps must be followed. First, the site preparation involves cleaning and marking the installation area of the warehouse to ensure a smooth setup process. Next, the assembly phase requires following the design drawings to accurately assemble and connect the Radio Shuttle Racking System components. System integration is a crucial step where the Radio Shuttle system, including CNC, sensors, and drive systems, is installed. This ensures that the system operates seamlessly and efficiently.
Finally, on-site testing is conducted to verify that the system functions correctly and meets all operational requirements.
SAFETY MEASURES AND ONE MORE REASON TO SELECT A NEW RADIO SHUTTLE RACKING SYSTEM FOR PALLETS
Safety is paramount during both the installation and operation of the system. Implementing comprehensive safety protocols ensures that the process is secure and that the system operates without any risks to personnel or equipment. When integrating an AS/RS Radio Shuttle System for pallets, the material handling machine operates outside the racking structure. This design ensures that the robotic shuttles, rather than forklifts, handle the movement of pallets within the racks;
Safety Improvements:
- Reduced Collision Risk: By keeping forklifts out of the racking aisles, the system minimizes the risk of collisions and accidents, protecting both personnel and equipment;
- Enhanced Stability: The automated shuttles move smoothly and precisely, reducing the chances of pallets falling or being mishandled;
- Lowered Manual Intervention: Automation decreases the need for manual labor, reducing the risk of human error and associated injuries;
This setup not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly improves safety within the warehouse;
