For those who are planning great things: Remmert honeycomb storage ensures fast and material-friendly access to several thousand item positions. The storage and retrieval unit with energy recovery brings your long goods fully automatically to the ergonomically optimized picking stations. This allows you to support your customers with fast and error-free deliveries with little personnel costs.

  • Safe and fast material handling: The storage and retrieval unit ensures safe, fully automatic storage and removal of materials, eliminating dangerous forklift handling and reducing damage from improper storage or accidents.

  • Significantly reduced personnel costs: Automation of material flow from storage to picking lowers the need for personnel.

  • High storage density for large quantities: Honeycomb systems maximise storage area for bulky and heavy goods like rods, pipes, profiles, and sheet metal, using cassettes arranged for optimal density.

  • Optimal goods management: Cassettes allow safe, quick, and ergonomic handling of bulky materials; inventories are centrally managed via WMS and ERP interfaces.

  • High pick numbers: Automated honeycomb warehouses allow up to 60 combined deposits and retrievals per hour per RBG, ensuring continuous supply to shipping or production.

  • Perfectly adapted storage systems: Each honeycomb warehouse is custom-engineered, including cassettes, shelves, RBG, and goods handover stations, tailored to the format and weight of the material.

  • Longitudinal station: Cassettes and trays can be moved outside the safety area via the short sides of the tower using rail-bound carriages; includes safety light barriers.

  • Transverse station: Cassettes can be moved over the sides of the bridge bearing using rail-bound carriages; also suitable for tunnel solutions.

  • Quick change station: Provides cassettes quickly to an operator; equipped with two longitudinal and one transverse conveyor for buffering and handling.

  • Material stroke for station trolleys: Lifting device simplifies storage using forklift or crane; material is lowered into cassettes.

  • Warehouse Management Software (PRO WMS): Modern software for centralised inventory management, tailored to intralogistics needs.

  • Remote Connector: IoT box enabling secure remote access and maintenance of the system.

  • Steel construction: Powder-coated steel profiles, individually designed according to weight, format, and quantity; built with specialist steel companies.

  • Storage and retrieval unit: Transports cassettes within the warehouse, supplying storage/removal stations; designed for high throughput.

  • Load carrier: Custom-made cassettes for material up to 5 t or over 12 m in length.

  • Machine interface: Coordinates processes between the Remmert system and external machines, exchanging locking and safety signals.

  • Safety facilities: Includes protective fences, gates, light barriers, and emergency controls.

  • Control panel: Industrial PC with pre-installed software and touchscreen for intuitive operation.

  • Individual bearing design: Each honeycomb warehouse is customised for the material and installation space to maximise storage density and optimise material flow.

  • Roof and wall-mounted construction: Warehouse structure can carry exterior walls and roof, reducing construction complexity.

  • Integrated weighing technology: Changes to articles are automatically updated in the WMS, ensuring permanent inventory tracking.

  • Combi-RBG for wide and narrow cassettes: Handles two narrow long-goods cassettes or one wide sheet metal cassette, allowing mixed formats in a single warehouse.

  • Two RBGs in an alley: Two storage and retrieval units can operate in one aisle for long shelves or redundancy, with dynamic cruise control for smooth interaction and fast cycles.

  • Energy-saving measures: High storage density reduces heated space; high-speed doors and RBGs with energy recuperation minimise energy consumption.
