Smartlog vertical storage systems: The advantages they offer
They are an innovative solution to free up space, increase efficiency and reduce costs in intralogistics operations.
The constant pursuit of operational efficiency and cost reduction is a primary objective for any supply chain or operations manager. Smartlog vertical storage systems offer an innovative solution to optimize logistics processes.
Through automation, product search, and retrieval, these systems drastically reduce cycle times, minimize human error, and increase order picking accuracy. By maximizing the use of available vertical space, they free up valuable square footage for other productive activities. Additionally, these systems streamline storage operations and the supply of materials to production lines, as well as the storage of semi-finished products.
These vertical systems contribute to ensuring both material and operator safety. By storing products in an orderly and accessible manner, the risk of accidents is minimized and the work environment is improved. Finally, Smartlog vertical storage systems align with sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption and optimizing space utilization, contributing to a more sustainable future.
Smartlog vertical storage and order picking systems are designed to meet the demands of the most demanding environments in industrial and commercial settings. Whether in managing large volumes, better organizing products, or optimizing picking, Smartlift and Smartrot are the ideal solutions to drive efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure an agile and future-proof logistics operation.
Smartlift: Intelligent and streamlined storage flexibility and adaptability
Smartlift is a highly flexible and adaptable vertical storage and order picking system, designed to handle a wide range of products, from small items to heavy loads. Its modular configuration allows it to be customized according to the specific needs of each company, and it can adapt to changes in volumes and sizes at any time.
This system integrates a cabinet-type structure with multiple levels for trays, optimizing the use of available vertical space. A vertical shuttle locates and delivers the requested tray quickly and accurately.
Thanks to its advanced technology, Smartlift automatically measures the height of products and assigns the most suitable storage location, thus maximizing the use of space. Additionally, its ergonomic design facilitates the work of operators, increasing productivity without compromising workplace safety.
The modules can be used independently or connected to a network system, and can even be installed outside the building to increase capacity. Depending on the size and weight requirements of the products, four different versions are offered. Smartlift has proven to be the ideal solution for a wide range of industries, from production and maintenance to logistics and retail.
In the logistics and distribution sector, it is ideal for order fulfillment of a wide variety of products, from small electronic components to bulky automotive components. It facilitates online order management, offering high picking speed and greater accuracy in shipping.
In production, Smartlift excels in its ability to efficiently manage semi-finished products, spare parts, and components in manufacturing processes. It also streamlines the preparation of kits and components for assembly lines, minimizing wait times and errors. It is also ideal for maintenance, where it efficiently organizes tools, spare parts, and consumables, improving their availability and reducing search times.
Industries such as electronics, automotive, pharmaceuticals, and aerospace benefit greatly from the advantages offered by Smartlift. Its ability to adapt to any type of product, from small parts to bulky objects, makes it a unique solution in the market. Additionally, it drastically reduces search and travel times, optimizing storage and order fulfillment processes.
Smartlift is a strategic investment for any organization seeking to optimize space, improve safety and efficiency, and ensure accuracy in inventory management, making it a leading solution in the market.
Key benefits of Smartlift:
- Space optimization: Saves up to 90% of floor space, thanks to its vertical configuration and optimization of every centimeter.
- Efficiency and accuracy: Guarantees accurate inventory and efficient product management, minimizing errors and losses.
- Productivity: Significant reduction in travel and picking times.
- Integrated weight management.
- Flexibility: Modular design, easily scalable and adaptable to changes in volumes and sizes.
- Safety: Protects your products and employees thanks to its integrated safety systems.
- Ergonomics: Ergonomic access facilitates picking tasks and reduces the risk of injuries.
- Sustainable solution that minimizes the carbon footprint.
Smartrot: efficient picking for high-productivity operations
Smartrot is an automatic vertical carousel designed for items with a high picking rate and that need to be accessed frequently. It offers optimal storage space in a minimal footprint. This facilitates the development of more efficient workflows that significantly increase productivity.
Different references are stored inside the carousel on different shelves or carriers. These carriers can be compartmentalized into multiple levels, allowing products of different sizes to be stored in the same carousel. When a particular product is needed, the system identifies its exact location and rotates the carousel until the desired shelf is in front of the workstation. The operator simply extracts the product from the shelf and continues with the next task.
Its transport technology is based on using the shortest possible path. The Smartrot carousel can be used as a standalone solution or linked to an interconnected system, and there are several versions available for both small and light parts, as well as for loads up to 650 kg.
By bringing products directly to the operator, access times are minimized and order picking accuracy is improved, consequently increasing productivity.
Sectors such as fashion, pharmaceutical distribution, and e-commerce, which require a rapid and frequent rotation of items, benefit particularly from Smartrot. Smartrot adapts to a wide range of sectors and applications: whether in production, to store components, in maintenance or after-sales departments, for the management of spare parts or replacements, or for order picking applications, it is an ideal solution.
Smartrot is:
- Fast: Prepares up to 400 lines per hour, thanks to its high-speed transport system.
- Accurate: Minimizes picking errors, thanks to its precise control system.
- Ergonomic: The system’s ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue and increases comfort.
- High storage density: Optimizes available space.
- Modular and scalable: Allows for quick adaptations to fluctuations in demand.
- Safe: Maximum protection for personnel and stored products. Optical protection barrier. Protects both people and goods.
- Sustainable: Reduces footprint, improves operator safety, and is easy to use.
Seamless integration and scalability for the future
One of the most outstanding features of these systems is their versatility and scalability. Both Smartlift and Smartrot can operate independently or be integrated with other automated systems and ERP, allowing for centralized and efficient warehouse management. These solutions adapt to the changing needs of companies, ensuring their ability to grow as the business grows.
