Project Overview
Project Overview
This entry describes the DAMBACH MINI-LOAD product line rather than a specific customer implementation. It focuses on the technical capabilities and design of an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) engineered for small parts storage. The system is presented as a solution for achieving extreme height and high throughput in the storage of containers and cartons containing small items.
The MINI-LOAD system is designed to address the need for high-density, high-performance storage in applications where space is at a premium and fast access to a large number of SKUs is required. Its modular and flexible design aims to serve various industries that handle small parts in standardized containers.
Technical Solution
DAMBACH MINI-LOAD Storage/Retrieval Machine
The core of the solution is the MINI-LOAD automated storage/retrieval machine (AS/RS), a type of stacker crane designed for handling unit loads like totes, containers, or cartons. It is engineered to operate in high-bay racking systems.
MINI-LOAD Automated Small-Parts Storage System
Vendor: DAMBACH
Key Features
The ability to operate efficiently at 27-meter heights allows for ultra-high-density storage, maximizing cubic space utilization in a warehouse, which is a critical advantage for small parts storage with high SKU counts.
The inclusion of a push-pull gripper for double-deep storage effectively doubles the storage capacity per aisle compared to single-deep systems, further enhancing space efficiency.
The system is versatile, designed to handle both standardized containers and cartons, making it suitable for a wide range of small parts storage applications across different sectors.
Results & Benefits
The primary result of deploying this system is the creation of a high-density storage environment for small parts, utilizing vertical space up to 27 meters to store a vast number of containers in a minimal footprint.
The machine is engineered for high-speed operation, enabling rapid storage and retrieval cycles. This translates to high system throughput, which is essential for supporting efficient order picking and replenishment operations in a busy warehouse.
Challenges & Solutions
A fundamental challenge in small parts logistics is storing a vast number of items efficiently while maintaining rapid access for picking. The DAMBACH MINI-LOAD system addresses this by being a dedicated, high-performance AS/RS for small loads. Its design to operate at great heights (27m) with double-deep storage capability solves the density challenge, while its high-speed performance ensures the necessary throughput for fast access.
System Integrator
DAMBACH Lagersysteme is the manufacturer and provider of the MINI-LOAD system. The company positions itself as a reliable partner for system integrators and general contractors, implying that DAMBACH supplies the core AS/RS technology (the MINI-LOAD machines) which can then be integrated into larger warehouse automation projects by other parties.
