Multi-level storage and picking

The conventional mezzanine-equipped storage and picking system at the factory had become inefficient and expensive to operate and more space was needed to store the required number of items.

The solution developed by Gebhardt-ECS includes the use of 14 Storebiter MLS multi-level shuttles to handle 18,000 storage trays.  Each MLS shuttle can access four levels of trays, which significantly increases the quantity of trays that can be stored compared to conventional single-level shuttles.

The project, which also includes mezzanines, tote conveyors and a Gebhardt Storeware warehouse control system, is due to come into operation at the end of this year.
