Successful project at STABILA: Automated microstore picking warehouse
psb has successfully realised an automated order picking warehouse for STABILA Messgeräte Gustav Ullrich GmbH, a leading manufacturers of precision measuring tools. When planning its new site, the long-established, family-owned company based in southwestern Germany relied on psb’s space-saving yet high-tech solution.
psb intralogistics implemented a space-saving microstore compact warehouse with one aisle and twelve storage levels, providing a total capacity of up to 1 184 totes (600 x 400 x 320 mm) – all realised on a footprint of only 60 square metres. The psb system is able to offer maximum efficiency and automation on a very small floor layout. The totes are routed fully automatically to a workstation at the front of the microstore, from where items are picked.
Future-proof technology for optimised processes
The microstore system is currently operated as stand-alone solution (»black box«); however, it has already been configured to be connected to a WMS (Warehouse Management System) that is yet to be implemented. This means that STABILA is not only perfectly prepared for the requirements of the present, but also for future challenges in warehouse logistics.
Advantages at a glance
- High efficiency on very small space: capacity for up to 1 184 totes on just 60 square metres.
- Future-proof technology: can be used as stand-alone system or in a wider system landscape
- Precise stock overview: the microstore system continuously records the stored stock.
- Access without walking distances: long distances are no longer necessary, especially when storing small parts.
