Automatic Sheet Metal Storage & Retrieval System (AS/RS)

For manufacturers seeking to eliminate bottlenecks and unlock new levels of productivity, the Automatic Sheet Metal Storage & Retrieval System (AS/RS) represents the pinnacle of material handling technology. This comprehensive solution goes beyond simple automation; it creates a synchronized, high-velocity flow of materials directly to the point of use. Our system is engineered as a complete Automated sheet metal storage warehouse system, designed to handle the toughest challenges in metal fabrication.

The system architecture is built for performance and reliability. The storage structure is based on a high-density Sheet Metal Drive-In Pallet Rack Storage Retrieval System design, optimized for storing similar-sized sheet metal pallets in depth. This is enhanced by our advanced 7-Layer Steel Automatic Loading/Unloading Warehouse Racks Powder coated for durability. The robust chain drive transmission mode and linear guide rails ensure stable and precise positioning of the retrieval machine, which is capable of handling a capacity of up to 1800kgs of material per retrieval cycle with ease.

The core of the AS/RS is its Automated Loading Unloading Racks mechanism. This subsystem is responsible for the precise extraction and placement of sheet metal pallets. Operating with a vertical lifting speed of 9m/min and a horizontal speed of 12m/min, it ensures quick cycle times. The plate support can be optionally selected to match your specific material type and size, preventing damage during handling. This automated process is the key to achieving unmanned factory operations, allowing your workforce to focus on higher-value tasks.

Integration is seamless and intelligent. Acting as a Smart Tower Fully Automatic Steel Plate Storage Loading Unloading System for Laser Cutting Machine, it forms a closed-loop with your production equipment. The moment a laser cutting job is initiated in the system, the AS/RS springs into action. Its high-precision robotic arm and AGV transfer system retrieve the required sheet and deliver it directly to the laser loader, with no manual handling required. This automated access cuts retrieval times to less than 10 seconds, creating a just-in-time material supply that maximizes machine utilization.

The intelligence of this Fully automatic sheet material three-dimensional storage warehouse is managed by a sophisticated Warehouse Management System (WMS). This system brings precise inventory management to life. Every sheet entering the warehouse is scanned and tagged, enabling “One item, one code management” via RFID. The WMS provides 100% accuracy in locating materials, eliminating errors and omissions. It offers real-time inventory query and batch traceability, crucial for quality control and certification. By connecting to your ERP, it enables the integration of production, warehousing, and logistics data, providing a single source of truth for management.

The operational and financial benefits are substantial. This High-Efficiency Smart Plate Storage System dramatically improves space utilization. By storing vertically, it can increase material storage capacity by 200% under the same factory area, deferring costly factory expansions. The automation reduces labor costs and material damage. Moreover, with IoT sensors providing real-time monitoring of material quantities, inventory levels are optimized, preventing both stockouts and excess capital tied up in inventory. Users report an average 60% increase in inventory turnover rate, significantly improving cash flow.

Our commitment to quality is unwavering. Every rack component is designed using FEA analysis (SIMSolid, Ansys) for rigorous strength verification. A dedicated quality inspection team conducts item by item inspections, ensuring every product meets our high standards. We support you with free design drawings, expert on-site installation, and a professional after-sales team. By choosing our AS/RS, you are investing in an Intelligent Automatic Plate Warehouse with Low Operating Cost that will drive your competitiveness for the long term.
