Unit load is the material handling term for any configuration of materials that allow it to be moved by material handling equipment as a single unit. Typically, this means pallet loads, but can apply to containerized loads and other very heavy, bulky loads of appropriate size.
These systems help you achieve the optimal inventory management and goods receipt/shipping measures. They also help mold your supply chain management and overall business strategies. We can help you identify, engineer, and implement the most suitable AS/RS type for your operation and organizational needs. These systems will integrate with your information systems, material handling operations, and overall business structure.
Faster, smoother and quieter: Handling pallets in a storage system can be daunting, but AS/RS allows you to control many more aspects of the operation than manual systems.
It's also much quieter than comparable manual systems. It's often no louder than the typical office environment.
Space savings vs. manual storage can be significant. The footprint of the system vs. that of a comparable manual system reduces floor space and utilizes the vertical cube more effectively. This efficient use of space does much more than simply creating new floor areas -- it also reduces complications, allows for easier expansion, and utilizes existing climate control resources rather than building new.
Anywhere optimized warehousing with quick transport of material and short access times is required, we offer innovative Muratec storage and retrieval machines that are based on customer requirements and bring economic warehousing to perfection.
Coordinated technology is the key to ideal solutions. Storage and retrieval machines transfer goods to and from the adjacent-components of storage racks and material flow conveyor systems matched to the situation. Whether you need a short-term buffer with sequencing and high throughput, a warehouse solely used to supply and stock raw material or finished products, or a buffer between the individual steps of production, we can help you identify your need and find technologies to match it.
This is a standard pallet handling AS/RS, deployed in a broad variety of industries and applications. It's rated for pallet sizes and typical weights (contact us for very heavy loads). The system's height can range from approximately 13 to over 98 feet. For low rise heavyweight systems with higher capacities, systems can be installed up to 59 feet.
This picking system is constructed by using real time updates of storage/retrieval records. It can be managed by control computers, with comprehensive control of peripheral equipment and WMS integration.
It can be configured for first-in/first-out, order of freshness, and other inventory management concepts through the AS/RS. Picking stations are provided at the retrieval home position and rack back side for optimized access to completed picks.
The PX series features high density, fast throughput, and heavy capacity capabilities. Its longer travel capabilities, and exceptional hoist and hook speeds are industry leaders for high rotation and extremely precise applications.
Its high throughput ratings reduce cycle times for distribution center applications. Fully automatic systems can be integrated with production lines for comprehensive automation. These systems can be installed into a new building or fully integrated into a rack supported building structure.
These systems are rated for very heavy unit loads, and can be installed up to 131 feet high to use the full vertical cube. They are most suitable for larger volumes and demanding space applications. Twin fork and double reach access devices are standard with these systems. If used in a building-integrated structure, there is virtually no wasted space.
