Automated efficiency in the high-bay warehouse
AGVs on the rise at Sauer Polymertechnik in Föritztal
Long distances, great heights and millions of articles per day – to master the complex requirements in their automatic pallet high-bay warehouse, our customer Sauer relies on Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Jungheinrich Logistics Interface in combination with storage and retrieval machines.
Challenges
- Integration of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) into an existing automatic system with high complexity
- Safe transport of about 7 million articles per day without damage to the goods
- Mastering up to 100 transports per hour on an 870 meter long route
- Optimal coordination of Warehouse Management System, control technology and AGVs
Solutions
- Optimization of internal material flow with the help of an Automated Guided Vehicle system
- Eleven automated ERC 213a high-lift trucks for transports between production and the high-bay warehouse
- Jungheinrich Warehouse Management System (WMS) for holistic handling of logistics orders
- Trucks with lithium-ion technology for fast and automatic charging cycles
Successes
- High degree of space utilization in the 38-meter-high three-aisle and double-deep racking system
- Maximum storage and retrieval performance thanks to a transverse trolley in the pre-zone
- Automatic charging of AGVs for flexible and fast charging cycles
- Fast accessibility and low error rate in the daily logistics process
