Storage- and racking systems
First order for Jungheinrich's new RBG
Hamburg/Kamen, 13.06.2018 - The Vahle Group, manufacturer of energy and data transmission systems, has commissioned Jungheinrich to build an automated small parts warehouse at its Kamen site. At the heart of the system is the new STC 2B1A storage and retrieval machine. The miniload with a travel speed of 6 meters per second will serve a total of 7314 rack locations in Kamen.
Two different container formats are used simultaneously in the small parts warehouse - boxes measuring 600 x 400 mm, which are stored double-deep, and boxes measuring 300 x 400 mm, which are stored four-deep crosswise. The order also includes conventional storage technology and industrial trucks. The system is scheduled for completion at the end of 2018. The order also includes conventional storage technology and industrial trucks.
Rüdiger Kuhn, Head of Purchasing and Materials Management at Vahle, explains: "The VahleGroup always and everywhere focuses on quality - in our products and services, employees, training and building equipment. Our commitment to continuous improvement is also reflected in the new automated small parts warehouse that Jungheinrich is building for us in Kamen. The innovative power of the new storage and retrieval machine together with Jungheinrich's holistic solution expertise for logistics systems from a single source have convinced us. That's why we will be working with Jungheinrich on this project to implement a wide-aisle warehouse, cantilever racking for long goods and flow-through colli racking in addition to the small parts warehouse."
According to the company, Jungheinrich's STC 2B1A is the most powerful storage and retrieval machine for automated small parts warehouses in its class. It has energy buffers, so-called "SuperCaps", which are specially adapted to the driving behavior. These store the energy released during braking and feed it back into the drive system when accelerating. As a result, Jungheinrich has reportedly succeeded in reducing the energy requirement and, in particular, the connected load of the stacker crane by up to 25 percent compared to the competition.
