Miniload shelving systems are designed for warehouses storing and handling a high volume of small to medium-sized items. Key considerations when choosing a miniload system are the storage capacity and throughput, the level of automation, space utilisation and storage density and the safety and efficiency of the system.
The automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) Miniload Single-store from stow is used for storage of small goods, mostly totes or cartons, with loads varying from 5 to 250 kg/unit.
The goods are handled automatically by AS/RS cranes. The cranes, guided at both top and bottom, retrieve the totes from their location and present them at the picking location or deliver them directly onto the picking conveyor. The rack can be adapted for a Fine Positioning System of the crane.
