Lean Store
Menu
The Lean Store is ideal for mid-sized, mid-weight, and heavy weight components. This System offers higher flexibility to accommodate a variety of items to be stored.
Features
— The system is completely enclosed using sheet metal cladding and has one operating window at ergonomic level.
— The operating window is lockable using electro- mechanical mechanism. Additional sensors provide higher safety to the operator
as well as operating system.
— The system is constructed using precision fabricated pipes, channels and sheet metal and can be customized to suit the customer’s requirements.
Features
— Retrieving mechanism or platform is fitted to vertical chain loops at four corners of the platform which give upward and downward motion to the platform.
— System offers higher flexibility to accommodate a variety of items to be stored.
— The pitch between two trays can be variable, allowing storage of items with variable dimensions.
— Very easy to operate and maintain and allows full utilization of the available height.
Controller
— The PLC-controlled platform known as
retriever is similar to a lift, moves up
and down to locate a particular tray
while storing/retrieving the material.
The desired tray is brought to the
operating window located at ergonomic
level for easy loading or unloading of
material.
— In this system, trays are stationary
while the retrieving mechanism is
moving, which increases load capacity
per shelf (up to 1MT per tray).
Customer Benefits
Quick retrieval
The system is faster as compared to the vertical carousel. In this system, only the retriever is moving and not all the trays, ensuring faster retrieval.
Space saving
Utilizes complete height and saves horizontal space up to 80%.
Optimum storage capacity
This system allows larger tray dimensions compared to vertical carousel and also varying pitch is possible,
allowing storage of material of different shapes and sizes in the same system.
Higher load capacity
Shelves are stationary and can be designed for 1MT load capacity (per
shelf).
Safety of material
Totally enclosed system, avoids damage to material from external influences and protects material from theft.
Manpower saving
High degree of automation reduces manpowerrequirement.
Effective inventory control
Material can be
accessed only after entering the part number
and quantity, in turn ensuring timely update of
record. This allows precise inventory control.
User-friendly system
Very easy to operate and maintain after brief training.
Smooth operation
Only the retriever is moving up and down with the help of a chain and
sprocket mechanism, thus ensuring very low noise and jerk- free material handling.
Operator safety
Curtain sensors at the opening
window ensures the operator’s safety during operation and prevents accidents. The emergency switch at the front allows instantaneous halting during operation in case of an emergency.
