Storage system automated storage and retrieval system

for warehouse

DAMBACH developed the COMPACT as a new storage and retrieval machine for loading and unloading at floor level There are many good reasons to invest in automating an existing warehouse. However, such projects often fail for lack of the right technology. DAMBACH Lagersysteme developed the COMPACT storage and retrieval machine precisely for this situation. It offers flexible options for existing rack systems. Many logistics specialists are familiar with the dilemma: warehouse processes really need to be automated to save costs or compensate for a lack of personnel. But this is generally difficult to achieve in their existing warehouses, and even then the results are often unsatisfactory. One solution would be to build a new warehouse as a greenfield project. But it is increasingly difficult to find the necessary space. “These days, building a new warehouse is not so easy. Real estate scarcity and high property prices are major obstacles. It is also becoming harder to obtain a construction permit for a 30-meter-high warehouse – for reasons such as proximity to a residential area,” says Adrian Klöpfer, Head of Intralogistics Solutions at DAMBACH Lagersysteme. The solution: automate existing warehouses The warehouse specialists in Baden-Württemberg have developed a new product to meet exactly this challenge. The DAMBACH engineers developed a storage and retrieval machine that is both lightweight and compact, and can be easily integrated into existing rack systems. “We took a close look at the market and quickly noticed this gap. Until now, there were no automation solutions for the brownfield sector that worked efficiently.
