The distribution centre features 12 Hänel Lean-Lift® lifts, finished with a special premium surface treatment and designed for smooth and efficient logistics. The lift systems take advantage of the full height of the storage hall and thus provide a huge amount of storage space directly adjacent to the platform storage.
Pick and Drop to Light system in this solution has been honed to the top. The collection lists are transferred via centralized software directly to the elevator systems. The elevators are grouped into groups of three units, with each group having its own color (red, green, or blue). Colors are displayed on the controls and on special display screens placed above the operating openings.
Customer order boxes are arranged in collection carts that are placed directly in front of the lift groups. The system knows which orders in the carts need to be processed and automatically brings the correct container to the lift access opening.
The safety of the worker is guaranteed during the automated process thanks to the threshold button and the light curtain installed in front of the operating opening.
An LED on the top of the boxes indicates where the product to be retrieved from — the colour indicates which lift group it is. In the collection area Hänel Pick-o-Light® -Vario directs the beam of light directly to the desired product, making incorrect picks almost impossible. The number of products to be picked is displayed on the control panel display.
The collected products are placed in the order box, and the employee confirms the pick. After that, the color of the diode changes to show the next elevator in which the next product is located. The container automatically returns to its original place and is ready to deliver the next item to the collection point.
When operating at full power, four employees can use 12 Hänel Lean-Lift® systems simultaneously Pick and Drop to Light thanks to the system — the process is fast and error-free.
