Automated Sheet Metal Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS)

Automated Sheet Metal Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS)

When we discuss the “Automated Sheet Metal Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS),” we are talking about the brain of the smart factory. Herochu has developed an ASRS that specifically addresses the logistical bottlenecks of sheet metal processing. For many years, the metalworking industry was held back by manual handling, leading to labor costs, operational errors, and physical injuries. The Herochu ASRS transforms these liabilities into competitive advantages.

Vertical Logic: Maximizing Space Utilization

The “First In, First Out” (FIFO) principle is often difficult to maintain in a cluttered warehouse. However, the Herochu vertical storage design makes it effortless. By utilizing a multi-level rack design, Herochu maximizes every cubic inch of your warehouse. Instead of a disorganized pile of plates, materials are stored in clean, indexed pallets. This modular design is easy to expand; as your production needs grow, the Herochu system can transition from a single-silo tower to a multi-silo combination without requiring a complete overhaul of your floor plan.

Durability and Environmental Resistance

Industrial environments can be harsh, but Herochu equipment is built to last. The system uses double-sided galvanized steel sheets (275g/m²) and hot-dip galvanized bolts. This provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring a long service life even in demanding conditions. Whether your facility is in a humid climate or a dusty industrial zone, the Herochu ASRS maintains its structural integrity.

The Power of PLC and Intelligent Control

The “Intelligent Management” aspect of the Herochu ASRS is powered by a Siemens PLC control system and a 15-inch user-friendly touchscreen. This allows operators to manage inventory with a simple tap. The integration of “Intelligent Weighing” means that the system knows exactly how much material is left in each pallet. This data can be viewed remotely, allowing managers to make informed purchasing decisions without ever stepping foot on the shop floor.

Operational Excellence

Consider the technical performance of a Herochu HC-A4020-85 model:

Max Load Capacity: 5000 Kg per layer.
Clear Space: 350 mm (Customized) between layers to allow for various sheet thicknesses.
Loading Arm Horizontal Speed: 10-30 m/min.
Fork Opening/Closing Speed: 5-20 m/min.

These speeds ensure that the material transfer between the loading station and the lifting position is fluid and rapid. The Herochu ASRS reduces operation time significantly, which in turn improves the overall production logistics efficiency.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

In today’s market, being environmentally friendly is as important as being profitable. Herochu integrates energy-saving motors and optimized path design. By calculating the most efficient route for the elevator and gantry robot, the system minimizes energy consumption and reduces operational costs. This commitment to “Energy-saving and environmentally friendly” technology makes Herochu a forward-thinking choice for any modern enterprise.

From hardware to automotive parts, the Herochu Automated Sheet Metal Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) provides a safe, reliable, and intelligent way to manage your most valuable raw materials. It is time to move away from the chaos of manual storage and embrace the precision of Herochu.
