This predefined application solution meets all of the requirements for drive technology used in modern warehouses. This package’s unique features help you to plan systems faster and more cost-effectively.
Use the multi-faceted functions of our storage/retrieval system package

Stacker cranes are used in small-parts or pallet warehouses. These kinds of warehouses not only vary based on the kind of load carrier used, but also based on the weight to be transported. The desired number of double cycles per hour and the dimensions of the warehouse are also decisive. With our application solution for storage/retrieval systems, you can meet all of these requirements systematically.
With the application solution for storage/retrieval systems, we provide you with special energy-efficient algorithms for coordinating lifting and travel axes. The software contained in the solution enables you to save up to 25% of your energy. And you support optimized processes and the simple assignment of components during project development. Predefined application modules and regenerative power supply modules enable you to reduce your energy consumption by up to 50%. Even more: they make startup a standardized procedure and greatly simplify installation and maintenance.
The PLC function with an interface to the higher-level controller allows you to achieve a high level of availability. Predefined variants make it easier to choose the right components to fulfill your needs.

Distinguishing features stacker crane
Storage/retrieval systems perform similar functions in essentially all industries and applications. In practice, the differences are defined by the performance, dynamic properties, as well as the dimensions of the warehouse. The predefined variants in our application solution for storage/retrieval systems make it easier to choose the right components for your needs.
