In sheet metal manufacturing, where precision and speed are paramount, the efficiency of material storage directly impacts production output, labor costs, and overall workflow. Scattered sheet metal, delayed material supply to laser cutting machines, and disorganized inventory management often create bottlenecks, slowing down even the most advanced production lines. Herochu’s Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Machine Storage Tower & Floor Storage Racks System addresses these challenges head-on, transforming chaotic workshops into streamlined, smart manufacturing hubs.
Centralized Material Management for the Entire Workshop
At the core of Herochu’s system is its ability to realize full workshop material storage management. Unlike fragmented storage solutions that isolate materials in separate areas, this integrated system acts as a central hub, organizing all sheet metal—from raw materials to semi-finished products—into a single, accessible network. This centralized approach eliminates time wasted searching for specific sheets, reduces material loss, and ensures every piece is accounted for, simplifying inventory tracking and reducing excess stock.
What truly sets this system apart is its automatic material supply capability. It seamlessly delivers raw materials to each production unit on demand—whether it’s a laser cutting machine, CNC punching machine, or CNC bending unit. This automated supply chain ensures no machine sits idle waiting for materials, keeping your production line running at peak performance.
Seamless Integration with Production Units: Flexibility Redefined
Modern manufacturing thrives on flexibility, and Herochu’s storage system is engineered to support highly adaptable production lines. It integrates effortlessly with key sheet metal processing equipment:
- Laser cutting machine units: Ensures a continuous flow of raw sheets, matching the cutter’s speed with timely material delivery.
- CNC punching machine units: Automatically supplies pre-cut or raw sheets, reducing setup time between jobs.
- CNC bending units: Delivers semi-finished parts precisely when needed, minimizing work-in-progress piles on the shop floor.
This integration transforms standalone machines into a synchronized ecosystem, where each unit works in harmony—reducing bottlenecks and enabling quick shifts between production runs. Whether handling small batches or large-volume orders, the system adapts, ensuring your workshop stays agile.
Smart Connectivity: MES System Interface for Data-Driven Manufacturing
In the era of Industry 4.0, data is as valuable as the materials themselves. Herochu’s storage system comes equipped with a MES (Manufacturing Execution System) interface, allowing seamless connectivity with your existing EMS (Enterprise Management System). This link bridges the gap between production data and business operations, providing real-time insights into:
- Material usage and inventory levels
- Production progress and machine uptime
- Supply chain efficiency and bottlenecks
With this data, managers can make informed decisions—optimizing material orders, adjusting production schedules, and reducing waste. It’s not just storage; it’s a smart manufacturing tool that turns raw data into actionable efficiency.
Double Production Efficiency: Unattended Operations, Unmatched Output
One of the most compelling benefits of Herochu’s system is its ability to double production efficiency. By automating material storage and retrieval, it eliminates manual handling delays. The system operates on pre-set production plans, automatically replenishing raw materials to laser cutting machines and other units without human intervention.
Paired with an automatic loading and unloading system, it enables unattended continuous production—running through shifts, overnight, or even weekends. This means your laser cutting machines and other equipment spend less time idle and more time processing materials, directly boosting daily output. For manufacturers facing tight deadlines, this efficiency gain can be the difference between meeting orders and falling behind.
Space-Saving Design: Maximize Your Workshop’s Potential
Floor space is a precious resource in manufacturing facilities, and traditional sheet metal storage—with stacks of sheets cluttering the floor—wastes valuable real estate. Herochu’s storage system solves this with a three-dimensional material warehouse design, leveraging vertical space to minimize floor usage.
The tower and floor rack combination ensures every square meter of your workshop is utilized. Whether you opt for a 6-layer, 8-layer, or 10-layer setup, the system stores sheets vertically without compromising accessibility. This compact design frees up floor space for additional machinery, workflow expansion, or safer employee movement—turning unused overhead space into productive storage.
Technical Specifications: Built for Sheet Metal Precision
Herochu’s Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Machine Storage Tower & Floor Storage Racks System is engineered to handle the demands of sheet metal processing, with specifications tailored to real-world workshop needs:
- Sheet thickness range: 1mm–25mm, accommodating thin gauge to heavy-duty sheets.
- Specifications: Supports standard sheet sizes including 25001250mm, 30001500mm, and 4000*2000mm, ensuring compatibility with most laser cutting machines.
- Maximum load per layer: 3T/5T, handling heavy stacks of metal sheets with stability.
- Number of layers: Customizable 6/8/10 layers, adapting to your inventory volume.
- Single sheet reclaiming load: 200kg, designed for safe, efficient handling of individual sheets during loading/unloading.
- Maximum height for placed boards (excluding pallets): 120mm, optimizing vertical space usage while keeping sheets accessible.
These specifications ensure the system not only stores sheet metal securely but also integrates seamlessly with your existing equipment, reducing the need for costly adjustments.
Why Herochu’s System Stands Out
Herochu’s Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Machine Storage Tower & Floor Storage Racks System isn’t just a storage solution—it’s a strategic investment in your workshop’s future. By combining centralized management, automatic supply, smart connectivity, and space efficiency, it addresses the core pain points of sheet metal manufacturing:
- Eliminates material shortages and machine idle time
- Reduces labor costs with automated handling
- Minimizes material damage from disorganized storage
- Integrates with smart manufacturing systems for data-driven optimization
- Maximizes floor space, allowing workshop expansion without relocation
Whether you operate a small fabrication shop or a large-scale manufacturing plant, this system scales to your needs, growing with your business and adapting to changing production demands.
