CUSTOMER NEEDS
SACI has chosen Cassioli for the construction of an automated warehouse for the storage of finished products placed on pallets.
The warehouse had to be divided into 3 independent parts, each one provided with a stacker crane, so as to have greater flexibility and ensure continuous operation even in the event of partial damage. SACI asked to Cassioli to design an integrated system that would allow a pre-organization of the pallets to be shipped in the dispatch area. The customer also requested that the existing ground warehouse will be reorganized and integrated with the new automated warehouse.
Cassioli designed and realized an automatic storage system consisting of 3 ICRANE stacker cranes with pallet shuttle ISAT for multi-depth storage. Each stacker crane works in one of the three warehouse areas, all independent for accessibility and maintenance. The automated warehouse is partially underground and extends over a total area of 2850 sq. meters for a height of 14.7 meters (6 of which are underground).
The entry and exit of goods from the warehouse takes place at level 0, through a handling system consisting of various types of automated conveyors. The incoming pallets (Europallet or coupled Düsseldorf pallet) are positioned through an hand pallet truck in the loading position: from here, they pass through a double control system that verifies the type of pallet and reads the bar code.
If the system identifies a pair of Düsseldorf pallets, the palletizer inserts a Europallet service pallet (1800x1200). The supply of service pallets on the line is ensured by an automatic stacker/destacker for service pallets. Before entering the warehouse, the unit load is analyzed again by a shape and weight control system: if appropriate, it is directed to the warehouse, otherwise it is moved to the reject station, where a client PC managed by the software Cassioli displays information about the anomaly found. Once arrived at the warehouse, the pallet is picked up by one of the ICRANE stacker cranes and positioned in the aisle chosen by the WMS management system through the ISAT pallet shuttle.
