Automatic stacker used for storage
Projekt titania, Wülfrath
Maximum storage position capacity with ultrafast access and minimum space requirement
TITANIA® FABRIK GMBH can look back on a tradition lasting over half a century since it was established by
F.A. Kotte, Senior. Requirements for modern storage solutions and larger storage volumes have grown
in line with the constant increase in the volume of
bodycare products manufactured and marketed by
the company.
In the fi rst phase of construction, SSI Schäfer handed over a mobile racking system to Titania Fabrik GmbH, based at Wülfrath near Düsseldorf, in January 2006. Constant growth meant that the storage capacity
was soon exhausted, so the next logical step was to start planning for an extension to the warehouse.
In the same year, the management decided to order another mobile racking system from SSI Schäfer. This time, however, they opted for the fully automatic version with a laser-navigated narrow-aisle stacker. Incoming goods, I-point
This leap forward in automated warehouse logistics
generated a number of positive effects. For instance,
the two storey levels in the front building were elegantly linked via the transfer points for the automated
vehicle on both levels. Goods storage and retrieval operations are possible on both levels. Incoming
goods from external sources arrive in the upper
storey for storage in the warehouse. Raw materials
and packaging are routed from the warehouse to the
fi lling plants in the lower storey. Packaged fi nished goods from the lower storey are moved back into the
mobile racking system and then, on the upper storey, they are made available for delivery tours.
Maximum functionality in the minimum of space: any
additional machines that were needed – such as
stretchers and labellers – were integrated into the
conveying technology with no problems at all.
Storage and retrieval vehicle: the pallet is moved in at the top of the aisle
The entire system is controlled and monitored by a
material fl ow computer based on SSI Schäfer’s standard “Ant” software. A customized interface
ensures a reliable connection with the customer’s warehouse management system.
Goods for delivery tours are made available for rapid loading onto trucks
