Commerciale Siderurgica Bresciana - OMIS automatic overhead cranes for high storage capacity
The OMIS automatic warehouse is the ideal solution for storing and managing material of all weights and sizes, making the most of the available space, thus reducing the surface occupied, compared to a traditional warehouse.
In this case, the same work process was maintained, increasing its speed, safety and reliability with the installation of an automatic bridge crane, combined with a shuttle for loading / unloading baskets with the use of lifters for the optimization of dead times. This customized configuration includes 1000 slots for a storage capacity of 1500 tons.
The main advantage is the increase in productivity with safe and dynamic product management which, combined with a specific software for optimal inventory control, tracks the movement.
The automatic storage unit preserves all the advantages of the manual logistics system, utilising all available space and keeping errors to a minimum.
Active in the distribution of iron and steel products, the Gruppo Commerciale Siderurgica Bresciana has been a customer of OMIS for many years, for lifting and handling solutions. In particular, the Lombardy-based company relied on OMIS for essential overhead cranes, but in this case the requirement was different and had other aspects compared to the “usual” requests. It was necessary to develop vertical, automated storage facilities that could preserve the advantages of the usual manual logistics process, while improving it and taking it to greater heights. It was also necessary to increase safety and precision in product handling, which until then had been exposed to human error.
Automatic overhead crane plus crossing span shuttle. Up to 1,500 tonnes stored.
The OMIS automatic storage unit proved to be the ideal solution for storing and handling material of all weights and sizes, up to 300 different products, making maximum use of the available space, thus reducing the area occupied compared to a traditional warehouse. The work process was preserved, but its speed, safety and reliability were increased, thanks to the installation of an automatic overhead crane, combined with a crossing span shuttle for loading/unloading baskets, and the use of lifts to optimise downtime. A customised configuration comprising 1,000 slots for a storage capacity of 1,500 tonnes. The main advantage is increased productivity, with safe and dynamic product management, which, combined with specific software for optimal inventory control, tracks handling and ensures convenient and safe material organisation, faster picking and preparation.
AUTOMATIC HANDLING
Automatic storage units for high-density storage with overhead crane
OMIS offers its expertise to the industry to develop solutions aimed at optimising production and thus reducing manpower costs. Applicable in both waste management plants and coil storage areas, as well as in the management of vertical warehouses for billets or pallets, our software experts are able to maximise the excellent mechanical characteristics of this category of bridge cranes, allowing a significant reduction in handling times. The use of automatic overhead cranes not only improves safety conditions, but is also recommended in environments with high personnel risk.
Our designers’ technical choices, based on the characteristics of the environment, aim for the maximum reliability of each component. These lifting systems allow large loads to be handled with precision and reliability. Managed by PLC, they allow complete or partial autonomy in handling loads for repetitive actions, guaranteeing reliability at constant work speeds. They contribute to the optimisation of production processes, improving handling times and rationalising the use of resources. In fact, the automatic movement of loads reduces downtime caused by incorrect handling operations. Automatic storage units equipped with overhead cranes provide an advanced solution characterised by a segregated configuration within a strategically optimised area, with units stored in a stacked manner. Gripping units, such as grippers, crossbars with magnets or suction cups, forks or other purpose-built devices, are custom-designed for the type of load to be moved. OMIS automatic overhead cranes are a key asset for enhancing warehouse efficiency and internal logistics in various manufacturing sectors. From the use of pantograph overhead cranes to those with telescopic guides, the handling of goods is carefully planned and tracked at every stage of the production cycle, strategically optimising the storage and handling of materials of various weights and sizes and maximising the use of available space.
Optimising the management of handling activities is crucial to avoid loss of time, damage and unnecessary handling, allowing significant savings in terms of manpower, space and handling time.
