Sheet metal is an indispensable raw material in modern industrial production, widely used in machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, aerospace, electronic equipment, construction, and other industries. However, the storage and management of sheet metal have always been a difficult problem for enterprises: sheet metal is usually large in size, thin in thickness, and easy to deform, scratch, or rust; traditional sheet metal storage methods—such as manual stacking, fixed shelving, or horizontal placement—are not only inefficient but also prone to damage to the sheet metal, resulting in material loss and increased production costs. To solve these problems, the Smart Sheet Metal Storage System has been developed, integrating industrial intelligence, steel foldable design, and fully automatic operation to provide a professional, efficient, and safe storage solution for sheet metal.
The Smart Sheet Metal Storage System is a comprehensive intelligent storage solution specifically designed for sheet metal, including industrial intelligent steel foldable sheet metal storage systems and fully automatic 8-layer warehouse racks. Its core positioning is to realize the intelligent, automated, and standardized storage and management of sheet metal, reducing manual intervention, avoiding sheet metal damage, improving storage efficiency, and reducing costs. Unlike traditional sheet metal storage equipment that only focuses on “storing sheet metal”, this smart system emphasizes the entire process management of sheet metal, from warehousing, storage, retrieval to transportation, and realizes seamless connection with sheet metal processing equipment, helping enterprises achieve intelligent transformation of production and storage.
One of the core components of the Smart Sheet Metal Storage System is the Industrial Intelligent Steel Foldable Sheet Metal Storage System, which is characterized by its steel structure, foldable design, and intelligent management. The system is made of high-quality steel, which has high strength, good toughness, and corrosion resistance, ensuring that it can bear the load of large-size sheet metal and avoid deformation. The steel structure undergoes strict surface treatment processes, including pickling, phosphating, electrostatic spraying, and baking, which effectively prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring a long service life even in harsh workshop environments. The foldable design of the system is particularly practical for enterprises with limited workshop space: when not in use or when the storage demand decreases, the system can be folded into a compact size, reducing space occupation by 60%-80%, making it easy to store and transport. In addition, the foldable design also facilitates the adjustment of the warehouse layout, allowing enterprises to flexibly adjust the storage space according to production needs.
The fully automatic 8-layer warehouse rack is another important component of the Smart Sheet Metal Storage System, which is designed to realize high-density, automated storage of sheet metal. The 8-layer design makes full use of the vertical space of the workshop, increasing the space utilization rate by 40%-70% compared with traditional horizontal storage methods. Each layer of the rack can bear a load of 1000KG-3000KG, which is suitable for storing different types of sheet metal, including cold-rolled sheet, hot-rolled sheet, stainless steel sheet, aluminum sheet, and galvanized sheet, with a thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 50mm and a size ranging from 3015mm to 6025mm. The rack is equipped with a fully automatic lifting and retrieval system, which can automatically complete the storage and retrieval of sheet metal without manual intervention. The lifting speed of the system can reach 5m/min-9m/min, and the positioning accuracy can reach ±0.01mm, ensuring that the sheet metal is accurately placed and retrieved without collision or scratch.
Intelligent management is the core advantage of the Smart Sheet Metal Storage System, which is realized through an advanced control system and data management system. The system is equipped with a human-machine interface, which is easy to operate—operators can input sheet metal information (such as model, thickness, size, quantity) and control the storage and retrieval of sheet metal through the interface. The system also supports remote control and monitoring, allowing managers to check the storage status of sheet metal and the operation status of the system in real time through a computer or mobile phone, realizing remote management. In addition, the system integrates intelligent traceability functions, which can record the warehousing time, storage location, retrieval time, and processing status of each sheet metal in real time, supporting MES system docking. This helps enterprises realize digital management of sheet metal, track the entire flow of sheet metal, and avoid material loss and confusion.
Fully automatic operation is another key feature of the Smart Sheet Metal Storage System, which significantly improves storage efficiency and reduces manual labor. The system is equipped with a robotic arm, a conveyor belt, and an automatic lifting system, which realizes the fully automated process of sheet metal warehousing, storage, retrieval, and transportation. When sheet metal is warehoused, the robotic arm grips the sheet metal and sends it to the conveyor belt, which transports the sheet metal to the automatic lifting system. The lifting system transports the sheet metal to the designated layer of the warehouse rack, and the robotic arm places the sheet metal stably on the rack. The system automatically records the sheet metal information and storage location. When sheet metal needs to be retrieved, the system automatically locates the storage location of the sheet metal, the lifting system moves to the corresponding layer, the robotic arm grips the sheet metal and sends it to the conveyor belt, which transports the sheet metal directly to the processing equipment or the designated area. This entire process is fully automated, requiring no manual intervention, and the storage and retrieval efficiency is increased by 30%-80% compared with manual operation.
The Smart Sheet Metal Storage System also has excellent anti-deformation and anti-damage performance, which is particularly important for sheet metal storage. Sheet metal is thin and easy to deform when subjected to pressure or collision, and scratches or rust will affect its processing quality and service life. The system is equipped with anti-deformation brackets and anti-scratch pads: the anti-deformation brackets ensure that the sheet metal is stored horizontally and stably, avoiding deformation caused by uneven force; the anti-scratch pads are installed on the contact surface between the rack and the sheet metal, preventing scratches on the surface of the sheet metal. In addition, the system is equipped with a dust-proof and moisture-proof device, which effectively prevents dust and moisture from entering the storage area, avoiding rust and corrosion of the sheet metal, and ensuring the quality of the sheet metal.
Cost saving is another important advantage of the Smart Sheet Metal Storage System. On the one hand, the system can replace 2-5 workers, significantly reducing labor costs for enterprises. Manual storage of sheet metal requires a lot of workers to carry, stack, and retrieve, which is not only inefficient but also prone to errors and sheet metal damage. The fully automatic operation of the system eliminates the need for manual labor, reducing labor costs and material loss. On the other hand, the system’s space-saving design reduces the need for workshop space, helping enterprises avoid the cost of expanding the workshop or renting additional storage space. In addition, the system’s intelligent management function avoids material loss and confusion, reducing the cost of raw materials for enterprises.
In terms of compliance and quality assurance, the Smart Sheet Metal Storage System is ISO9001/CE certified, ensuring that it meets international quality and safety standards. The system is designed and produced in strict accordance with ISO9001 quality management system requirements, and each component undergoes strict quality testing to ensure the stability and reliability of the system.
