When metal fastener supplier, WASI,
needed to expand its logistics
operations, it asked KNAPP to
provide an automated handling
solution that would ensure delivery
of the company's high levels of
customer service commitment.
The heart of the new handling system is KNAPP's OSR Shuttle, which serves as an automatic small parts storage system, supplying four manual picking stations. The OSR Shuttle solution designed for WASI was the first ever to feature three-deep storage, although KNAPP now offers four-deep storage with its latest OSR Shuttle system, which can store containers and cartons of various dimensions without having to use additional trays.
