AUTOMATED WAREHOUSES

AUTOMATIC WAREHOUSES SERIES AW

Apiel manufactures automated warehouses to industry and logistics. The automatic storage systems are used in the handling of boxes, reels, boxes and individual products in modular or canned.

An example of implementation is the machine side. This automatic removal from the stock coils of wire to place them under the Cabling automatic machines. The shelves are contrasted in the central corridor and a stacker crane moves.

The automatic warehouse of the example was created with three-phase asynchronous motors with inverter. The warehouse has three stacker cranes, each controlled by an OMRON PLC CP1L. A fourth PLC acts as the master and is networked with the three stacker cranes. Commands can be sent to the PLC by the operator panel or through ethernet.

The PLC can be equipped with a Web server so you can enter commands by means of web pages viewed on PCs.
For more advanced applications, you can create software interfaces directly on machines to send commands via network to the automatic warehouse.

The rigid and robust structure of the stacker, can equip the system with induction motors or brushless motors. This choice is related to productivity that will have the system.

The truck is equipped with two gripping pliers to pinch the products The movement of the calipers on the truck can be air (the cheap version) or by means of engines. This latter option allows you to have the best performance.

We make two types of carts taken: a compact version that minimizes the space between the two opposing shelves and a standard version. The standard version allows for better performance.

The gripping elements allow the coupling of both elements of identical shape as reels and boxes, direct or picking up products with different sizes.

By means of the containers can be handling products of various shapes and types. The automatic warehouse performs both load and discharge in order automatically.
Holding devices allow you to store shelves in several pieces for each cell.

Together with stacker cranes, conveyors can provide a shuttle to bring the product in locations where it is required.

AUTOMATIC WAREHOUSES Prel&va2

The photo below right shows the photo of the automatic warehouse Prel&va2. The system manages parallelepiped boxes with minimum dimensions 70x40x12 and 250x125x125 maximum. The number of entries manageable, even exceed 10,000. The warehouse can work either with boxes equipped with bar code, or without code.

With coded boxes with bar code, the load can be made completely automatically; with the operator only has to reverse the pieces into a hopper and the loading is done automatically. The device for automatic identification codes, it is equipped with sensors and bar code readers that allow to recognize the item to store, regardless of the position of the barcode.

With non-coded boxes, must be the operator to enter the product code. The size of the warehouse are flexible and adapt to customer needs. The recall of products takes place through computers. The pieces are then transported via conveyors and elevators, to the extent required.

The possible configurations are 3:
• system which can manage, from loading to pick, in a fully automatic high productivity. In this case, the machine can pick up to 700 pieces per hour and load up to 500 pieces per hour.
• semi-automatic loading system in which is the operator to insert the products in the drawers of containment. In this case, the machine can pick up to 700 pieces per hour and load up to 300 pieces per hour.
• warehouse with loader for loading. The productivity in picking and loading are respectively 700 and 400 pieces per hour.
