Hörmann Intralogistics
World's first combined cooling and room temperature Autostore system for online retailer Flaschenpost
For the innovative design of the Autostore system, Hörmann Intralogistics combined the different temperature zones "Ambient" and "Chilled" in such a way that it is possible to pick dry and chilled goods from both systems at one workstation for one order.
In the "Chilled" system, the AutoStore containers are stacked directly on the floor on 16 levels in a grid system measuring around 10 x 40 meters. 18 "Red-Line" robots move on the rail system in two directions thanks to their four pairs of wheels arranged at an angle, enabling them to reach any position on the grid. They tirelessly pick up containers, store them, re-sort them and operate the ten conveyor ports, which are available for storage and picking.
The scope of delivery also included the complete housing for the "Chilled" system and the cooling technology to operate the system at 2 degrees Celsius. A specially adapted cooling system ensures minimal leakage during operation and optimum energy efficiency. Directly adjacent is the "Ambient" autostore system for items at room temperature in the Flaschenpost warehouse. There are around 16 levels. 10,000 containers are available in the 8 x 40 meter grid system. On the grid, 25 robots supply the eight carousel ports for retrieval and two conveyor ports for storage.
Both areas come together at eight innovative combined work stations, each equipped with a carousel and an insulated conveyor port, an empty container and a full container conveyor system. The ready-picked bottle mail transport crates are then transported directly to the delivery vehicle, which delivers them fresh and quickly to end consumers. Goods are received at conveyor ports attached to the side.
