Smart Store and Crane Store

Automated warehouses

In line with the automatic storage needs of finished-product pallets, two types of automated warehouse system have been developed: Smart Store and Crane Store. Both solutions offer guaranteed integration and optimisation of the supply chain. 

Smart Store: multi-depth pallet storage with shuttles and satellites 

Smart Store systems provide multi-depth pallet storage with independent movement at each level. A combination of shuttles and satellites ensures excellent performance in complete safety. Lithium-ion battery power means reduced maintenance costs, while regenerative technology ensures excellent energy savings. The result is a winning automated warehouse system in terms of maximised storage density, operating frequencies and system modularity. 

Crane Store: stacker cranes for single, double and multi-depth storage 

Crane Store systems use stacker cranes equipped with automatic product handling devices for single, double and multi-depth storage. Because they can operate at impressive storage heights (over 40 m), these systems dramatically increase warehousing capacity for the same floor space. As well as excellent dynamics, the technology ensures maximum energy savings and minimum maintenance costs. 

Two automated warehouse systems compared 

• Smart Store: multi-depth storage, shuttles and satellites, lithium-ion power with regenerative technology, high storage density and modularity
• Crane Store: stacker cranes, single/double/multi-depth storage, storage heights over 40 m, maximum capacity for the same floor space
