Objectives:
  • Manage the storage of the various types of solar panels, sorted by category
  • Implement panel quality control, picking the unit loads and where necessary repositioning them in the correct category inside the system
  • Create a buffer between two different product processing stages
  • Improve product traceability
Solution:
  • An automated storage system connecting two production areas, equipped with three single-mast stacker cranes that slide on the same track and fitted with suction cups to handle 3 mm thick panes of glass
  • Single-depth industrial racking system with 60 load levels
  • Interface and management with WMS developed by Wipro Ferretto for the storage system incoming and outgoing lines
Technical details:
  • Simultaneous management of the three stacker cranes on a single track
  • Sharing of storage areas on the racking between the three stacker cranes, in automatic cycle
  • Possibility to exclude one or more stacker cranes from the automated handling cycle
Added value:
  • Improved product traceability and storage
  • Optimised company production processes
  • Optimised quality control processes
