Bin handling system: Kardex Remstar says it is bringing an
entirely new class of storage systems to the market. To that end,
the intralogistics supplier is adding the Vertical Buffer Module product family to its portfolio, starting with the Kardex Remstar LR 35
storage and retrieval unit. The new device is capable of fast delivery
when picking small parts. According to the company, the LR 35
meets the demand for greater flexibility, ergonomics, and energy
efficiency in intralogistics.
Kardex Remstar designed the LR 35 storage system as a solution for picking small parts from bins, totes, and trays in small
and medium-sized warehouses. The unit design consists of a shelf
system with automatic bin handling, picking stations, and its own
logistics software. The Kardex Remstar LR 35 is ideal for any company involved in handling single-part or small-volume orders, the
company says.
Around 500 order lines per picking station/hour can be achieved
with two or more units or batch picking. The LR 35 can be fitted
with up to four access openings or picking stations. At the heart
of each station is the turntable. Tilted at an angle of 20 degrees, it
has been ergonomically designed to make work stress-free for the
operator. While the operator picks one order, the LR 35 prepares
the next bin and places it on the rear shelf of the turntable. As
soon as the picking process is complete, the turntable rotates 180
degrees and the next bin is ready for picking. This quick access to
goods keeps waiting times to a minimum.
Goods can be stored in standard bins/totes or on a tray that
is compatible with a mini-load system. There is no longer any
time-consuming repacking. Trays, bins, or totes of different heights
can be mixed and stored together. Each load carrier can hold up to
35 kilograms ( 77 pounds).
The Kardex Remstar LR 35 features a lightweight design. The unit
consists of a shelf system with an aisle in which a movable mast
with rotating gripper loads the picking stations in no time at all,
the company says. All versions of the LR 35 are based on the same
components and technology. The company says that reducing the
number of components and using state-of-the-art technology not
only guarantees the scalability of the unit, but also saves a significant amount of energy. The LR 35 only consumes a third of the
energy of a mini-load system, eliminating the need for a system for
recovering energy.
The LR 35 slots seamlessly into existing processes and can be
adapted to fit individual buildings and linked to existing conveyor
technology with no extra effort. The conveyor connection can be
fitted on the front, rear, or end face of the unit. (Kardex Remstar,

AS/RS systems: Westfalia’s single-deep, double-deep, and multiple-deep AS/RS systems are designed to bridge the gap between
restrictive designs and flexible creativity. The company can combine
single-deep or double-deep AS/RS storage lanes with high-density,
multiple-deep configurations in the same aisle using the same storage and retrieval machine (S/RM). These flexible systems are able
to store pallets or containers in multiple-deep lanes from two to 12
pallets deep, allowing the generation of efficient storage designs
in existing “low-bay warehouses” as well as new rack-supported
structures up to 140 feet high. (Westfalia, www.westfaliausa.com)
