AKL for exhibition
Small parts warehouse for the Swiss Museum of Transport
With a 14-meter-high automated small parts warehouse (AKL) in the main exhibition of the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne, SSI Schaefer gives visitors a glimpse behind the scenes of intralogistics.
The main exhibition "Experience logistics!" at the Swiss Museum of Transport is designed to bring logistics to life. The exhibition was created together with the Swiss Logistics Foundation and various partners from the industry. SSI Schaefer is supporting the project with a full-size automated small parts warehouse.
15 tons of steel form the basic structure of the AKL. The 14-metre high rack was hot-dip galvanized for outdoor use in the Verkehrshaus and is therefore weatherproof. There are 1,824 bin storage locations in the three aisles. Automated small parts warehouses are operated by storage and retrieval machines (SRMs), which are controlled centrally by logistics software and move automatically in the aisles of the warehouse, storing and retrieving the bins. The stacker cranes are not weatherproof and were therefore printed in their original size as high-resolution visualizations (renderings) and placed in the aisles. This gives visitors a realistic picture of the actual size of an automated warehouse for small parts.
The AKL was equipped with yellow and red plastic Euro containers. The containers, which are manufactured in-house, correspond to the containers used in practice, but have been made UV-stable for outdoor use and have a base with holes so that rain and melt water from snow can run off.
SSI Schaefer carried out the assembly of the AKL in cooperation with its long-standing partner Atlas Montagen from Switzerland.
