Small parts. Great efficiency.
Güde GmbH automates small-parts storage with Jungheinrich
More space, less effort: Güde streamlines its distribution processes with automated small-parts storage and order picking. 12,480 double-depth container storage locations in two aisles at the Plettenberg production site maximise storage capacity, including potential for further growth.
Challenges:
- Automation of small-parts storage to accelerate distribution processes.
- Streamlining of processes and reduction of manual effort.
- Expansion of the capacity limits of storage and picking.
- Ensuring expansion options without restricting operational processes.
Solutions:
- Automatic small-parts warehouse with two 40-metre-long and 7.3-metre-high aisles.
- Aisle operation by two Jungheinrich STC stacker cranes.
- Space for a total of 12,480 containers with a maximum capacity of 50 kg per container.
- Double-depth storage of containers for maximum storage density.
- Control of the warehouse via the Jungheinrich Warehouse Control System (WCS).
Successes:
- Automatic operation reduces personnel costs and maximises operational and process reliability.
- Significantly faster order picking with 330 container storage and retrieval operations per hour.
- Increased storage capacity with room for future growth.
- Expansion to a third aisle possible without affecting ongoing operations.
- Optimal collaboration as an excellent basis for future cooperation.
