Overview
Compact long-sized warehouse with overrunning RBG
Remmert bridge bearings are among the bearing systems with the highest bearing density. Small footprint, plenty of space for long goods and unpalletized, heavy parts and high customizability characterize the system. A must-have for the steel trade and manufacturing companies with high standards for fast picking processes with a range of products.
- High bearing density: Stores large quantities of rods, pipes, profiles, and other long goods on minimal floor space using an overrun storage and retrieval unit.
- Safe and fast material handling: Fully automatic storage and removal eliminates risky overhead forklift handling and prevents material damage.
- Perfect integration: Modular design allows custom configuration of shelf elements and storage/removal options.
- Optimal goods management: Cassettes with adjustable compartment dividers provide ergonomic storage for various long goods; inventories are centrally managed via WMS and ERP.
- Intuitive operation: SMART Control integrates storage, retrieval, and goods management in an easy-to-learn interface.
- Optimised personnel deployment: Up to 30 combined storage/retrieval processes per hour with goods-to-person principle reduces picking labour costs.
- Quick-change station: Two parallel roller tracks allow fast cassette exchange. A slider moves the cassette to be re-stored to the rear track, making room for the next cassette.
- Warehouse Management Software: PRO WMS is a modern, effective warehouse management system tailored to intralogistics, offering customer-focused functionality across various modules.
- Machine interface: Coordinates operational functions between the Remmert system and other machines, exchanging information on interlocks and safety functions.
- Safety devices: The system is equipped with protective fences, gates, light barriers, and emergency stop controls to ensure safe operation.
- Remote Connector: An IoT box that establishes a secure internet connection from Remmert Service to the on-site system, enabling remote maintenance.
- Shelf system: Powder-coated steel construction with welded and screwed profiles. Height, depth, and storage space are adjusted according to cassette number and format. Cassettes rest on two support arms; stations and drive-throughs are customised.
- Overrunning RBG: The storage/retrieval unit runs over the shelf system like a bridge. A lowerable lifting traverse removes cassettes from the left or right side via a telescopic mechanism.
- Load carrier: Cassettes are individually manufactured based on material dimensions. Each can store materials up to 5 t or over 12 m in length.
- Longitudinal station: Cassettes and trays can be moved along the short sides of the bridge system with a rail-bound cart outside the safety area. Light barrier safety devices ensure safe operation.
- Transverse station: Cassettes can be moved along the sides of the bridge system with a rail-bound cart outside the safety area. Works safely even within tunnel solutions.
- Individual bearing design: Each bridge bearing is custom-engineered based on the material and available space to achieve maximum storage density and optimal material flow.
- Tunnel solutions: Tunnels allow transitions to other hall areas, optimise space use, serve as loading lanes, or accommodate processing stations efficiently.
- Building-bearing construction: Bridge bearings can be designed as independent silo-type buildings, reducing construction complexity while ensuring structural stability.
- Automatic cantilever bearing: Long goods can be stored on cantilever arms instead of cassettes. The overrun storage and retrieval unit uses telescopic forks to handle individual items.
- Underfloor bearings: Storage locations are partially or fully placed underfloor or in a pit, ideal for hillside locations or areas with structural height restrictions.
