Fully Automated Sheet Material Storage and Scheduling Centers

Intelligent Sheet Metal Drive-In Rack & Automated Retrieval System

Automated Sheet Metal Storage Warehouse System – Precision, Speed, and Scalability for Next-Gen Manufacturing

The Automated Sheet Metal Storage Warehouse System—also known as an Automatic Sheet Metal Storage & Retrieval System (AS/RS)—is engineered for fabricators who demand military-grade precision and industrial-scale throughput. Combining drive-in pallet rack logic with robotic autonomy, it sets a new benchmark in automated material handling.

This AS/RS functions as a fully automatic three-dimensional storage unit, featuring vertical lifts, horizontal shuttles, and robotic end-effectors that handle sheets with millimeter accuracy. Compatible with all major laser cutting platforms, it enables true end-to-end automation: from warehouse to cutting bed, without human touch.

Automated Sheet Metal Storage Warehouse System – Precision, Speed, and Scalability for Next-Gen Manufacturing

Key technical specs include:

Vertical lifting speed: 9 m/min
Inlet/outlet speed: 12 m/min
Load per layer: 3T or 5T (custom up to 6T)
Floor count: 8–13 layers
Plate dimensions supported: 3015mm to 6025mm

Every movement is orchestrated by a central control system that syncs with your production schedule. When a nesting file is uploaded, the AS/RS locates the required material, verifies its grade and thickness via RFID, and delivers it to the loading station. This closed-loop process eliminates wrong-material errors—a common cause of scrap and rework.

Inventory turnover improves by 60% thanks to real-time IoT monitoring. Sensors track usage patterns and predict demand spikes, allowing proactive procurement. Excess stock is flagged automatically, freeing up capital tied in unused inventory.

The system’s drive-in pallet rack design maximizes density while allowing deep-lane storage—ideal for high-volume SKUs. Unlike selective racking, it minimizes aisle space, further boosting cubic utilization.

Built for longevity, all frames undergo FEA validation. Powder-coated finishes ensure resilience against workshop contaminants. Optional anti-slip plate supports prevent shifting during vertical transit.

Deployment includes full project lifecycle support: conceptual design, 3D simulation, on-site commissioning, and staff training. Our exclusive one-on-one service model assigns a dedicated engineer to your account, ensuring rapid issue resolution.

In summary, this Automated Sheet Metal Storage Warehouse System isn’t just storage—it’s a strategic enabler of smart, responsive, and resilient manufacturing.
