The topic of warehouse technology also deals with different warehouse rack systems.
As a rule, automatic high-bay and small-part warehouses are equipped with storage and retrieval machines, which transport pallets or pallet cages within the storage racks. Racks with a height of up to 45 meters can be accessed.
For heavier loads, horizontal carousels are used. With this storage technology, the goods can be provided quickly.
The more compact solution of a circulating warehouse is the vertical circulating warehouse. This rack storage system is often used with smaller storage areas, so the height is also used. Here, too, goods are provided quickly and efficiently.
Another type of warehouse is the shuttle warehouse. This type of storage also makes optimum use of the room height and is suitable for small parts, as it has a high storage density. Shuttle warehouses are very flexible, can offer fully automatic storage and retrieval and are scalable. Furthermore, there is also the possibility to connect the warehouse to a warehouse management system.
