SSI Schaefer installed 6 sorters in order to increase picking and goods out performance for Reyher. Up to 3,000 bins with goods can be buffered.
With a handling capacity of approximately 160 double cycles per hour, 1,800 bins per hour can be handled during peak times. In order to further expand the pick performance of the manual small part storage with 7 aisles it was automated and the storage capacity of bins was increased up to 120,000.
Everything is controlled by a warehouse management system developed by SSI Schafer integrated into the existing SAP system. The site is managing several warehouse areas the system also controls all goods in and out, picking and the flow of material.

The SSI Autocruiser is an economic and flexible transport system for small and medium throughputs. It is able to convey almost any product weighing up to 66 lbs. There are also special designs for heavier loads.
This material handling system is based on a simple, yet robust track network, on which each vehicle runs autonomously. No external infrastructure is required and a household socket is sufficient for the power usage.
This makes the SSI Autocruiser easily scalable and also suitable for larger distances. It is therefore possible to replace other conveyor technology, such as forklifts and roller conveyors, in the supply chain.

In this project for Reyher, a producer of screws and fasteners, SSI Schaefer integrated a high bay warehouse into their existing distribution center. With 36,000 additional storage positions capacity was increased to 60,000 pallets. 5 cranes each with 2 telescopic forks operate in 5 separate aisles. With 200 double cycles an hour approximately 400 pallets can be handled. In the second phase an additional 12,000 storage positions were created.

In this automated distribution center designed by SSI Schaefer, the totes filled with products are directly stored in the storage system mini-load (SMC) or the Schaefer Carousel System (SCS). In the mini-load the totes are stored double deep in eight aisles.
Eight storage and retrieval machines (SRMs) ensure the smooth processing of storage and retrieval movements as well as transport movements to the picking stations. Next to the mini-load 2 SCS modules with its 13 levels, add another 8,000 highly dynamic tote storage positions.

The Schaefer Robo-Pick is the first fully-automatic picking cell that can be integrated into existing distribution centers. You do not have to teach in the articles to be picked or to arrange the products in a particular position for the robot to pick them. The innovative two-step image processing system automatically recognizes the position of the products on the tray and controls the picking robot.
When combined, the robot and the vision system can achieve more than 2,000 picks per hour.
Typical users of the new Schaefer Robo-Pick are pharmaceutical companies, e-commerce companies and mail order shippers. This profile would mean compiling a shipment of 2 to 20 articles in the correct quantity according to a customer’s order from a range of 5,000 to 50,000 articles on stock. The result in picking is the incredible quantity of more than 100,000 individual articles in a typical distribution center on a daily basis. Download the Robo-pick brochure.
