What are small parts warehouses?

Small parts warehouses are specialized forms of storage designed for the efficient storage and provision of small goods and components, often in racks with small load carriers, boxes or containers. They are characterized by a high storage density and efficient use of space, often with automated systems for fast and clear storage and retrieval.

Dynamic storage and picking

Picking is standardized according to the "goods to person" principle. Ergonomically optimized provision of goods to the picker using storage and retrieval machines, conveyor technology and robots enables the picker to work with high picking performance and a low error rate.

The picker is supported by various modern technologies, such as picking robots, driverless transport vehicles, "pick-by-light", "put-to-light", "pick-by-voice", handheld terminals, PC terminals and others.

Online interfaces to various parcel service providers with label printing for each package are provided by our customized HiLIS Warehouse Management System.

Specialized high-bay warehouse solutions for heavy and bulky goods

For heavy and bulky goods, we develop and implement high-bay warehouse solutions with tailor-made storage and retrieval and conveyor technology. This allows goods with a wide range of dimensions and weights to be stored in a space-saving and gentle manner using sophisticated storage strategies. At the customer's request, we also integrate the automatic just-in-time connection to production and dispatch provision.

 

The advantages at a glance

  • Decoupling of production processes, pre-processing and finishing in order to maximize flexibility, Customer orientation and production performance
  • On-demand packaging and provision of timber or other heavy-duty packages for customer shipping and in-house further processing in production
  • Increased and plannable loading performance
  • Reduction of manual processes
  • Fully automated, multi-stage packaging and transport preparation to secure the products themselves and to ensure an efficient and gentle loading process
  • The gentle, automatic conveying and handling technology prevents damage to the products and therefore avoids the costs of complaints and replacement deliveries
  • Consistent use of plastic chain conveyor technology made from high-quality, lubricant-free plastic for maximum protection of the product during in-house transport
""The all-in-one concept from HÖRMANN Intralogistics has enabled us to revolutionize our logistics processes. The designed software control, sensor technology, innovative conveyor technology and seamless integration into our existing processes increase our efficiency and competitiveness. We are delighted with the possibilities offered by this new system."

STEFAN HIERZENBERGER | HEAD OF GROUP LOGISTICS,

What makes timber and heavy-duty warehouses so special?

Automatic timber or heavy-duty warehouses enable the efficient and space-saving storage of heavy goods thanks to customized, fully automated storage and retrieval technologies that minimize manual intervention. Gentle conveying technologies protect the goods from damage and integrate seamlessly into production and shipping processes, increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

 

How it works

The state-of-the-art intralogistics solution for timber and heavy goods includes multi-aisle high-bay warehouses as well as connecting, individually developed, gentle modular belt conveyor technology for order-related sequencing, packaging, stacking and route-specific provision with subsequent semi-automatic truck loading in the loading hall. 

The conveyor technology transports the heavy-duty packages from the production area to the high-bay warehouse. Here, the load units are temporarily stored and, depending on the order, either loaded onto trucks for internal or external customers for further processing. For truck loading, the parcels are put together in the correct sequence and route, packed and stacked if required. A distribution trolley then transports the heavy-duty parcels to the respective staging lane next to trailers in the loading hall.

 

Intelligent intralogistics strategies with the HiLIS product portfolio

Warehouse management, system control, system visualization and truck loading are carried out using the tried-and-tested HÖRMANN Intralogistics HiLIS, which communicates with the customer system via an interface.

Hörmann Intralogistics receives order for AutoStore system with innovative robot cell

HÖRMANN Intralogistics implements AutoStore system with innovative robot cell for fully automated incoming goods for @Siemens in Rastatt

More sensor technology, AI, interfaces, robotics and smart software make it possible: impressive warehouses with an ever-increasing degree of automation. Which technologies can already be implemented to move all classes of goods efficiently and error-free?

As a general contractor with heart and mind, we closely follow the trends, needs and challenges of our customers. Through real projects and inquiries, we get a feel for currently feasible and in-demand technologies for smooth material flow systems. The step into automation is still a big risk, and one that we fully support.

The coexistence and synergy of manual and automated warehouse areas, as well as retrofitting with robotics and sophisticated sensors to achieve a particularly high level of automation, are emerging as major trends. In this way, day-to-day business is not interrupted, but at the same time the shortage of skilled workers, susceptibility to errors and increasing picking speeds are countered. In addition, intralogistics processes for small to very large and bulky goods can be automated.

Are you facing similar challenges with your business? Take a look here to see what solutions major companies from trade and industry have found.

The advantages of highly automated material flow systems:

  • Almost fully automated storage systems ensure maximum availability, better use of space, higher labour productivity and inventory accuracy, lower operating costs and the precise sequencing of goods for dispatch.
  • Diversity of goods classes: from the smallest parts such as screws, seals etc. to bulky goods such as wood cuttings. from the smallest parts such as screws, seals, etc. to bulky goods such as wood cutting packages or machine motors, almost anything can be handled fully automatically thanks to smart technology and software
  • Efficient and asynchronous supply of various internal and external customers
  • Customization: Fulfillment of any end customer requirements without errors and failures
  • Saving on hard-to-reach specialist personnel
  • Increase in Throughput and storage capacity with scalability during operation
  • Integration of areas that are still operated manually into the overall automated material flow system

AutoStore system with innovative robot cell for Siemens

We are implementing an AutoStore system with an integrated robot cell for Siemens AG in Rastatt. This combination enables fully automated goods receipt of small load carriers into an AutoStore grid for the first time. The project sets new standards in the automation of intralogistics processes and offers a well thought-out concept for high speed.

A specially developed robot system with "bin-in-bin, bin-out-bin" technology is used to fully automate the incoming goods process. A Kuka robot, equipped with a special gripper and integrated vision technology, takes over the storage and retrieval into and out of the AutoStore Conveyer Port.
