CUSTOMER NEEDS

The customer sought Cassioli with the goal of improving the storage and quality of its pallets of melamine products.

Cassioli presented a customized automated warehouse solution, in which load units are manipulated using stacker cranes that slide on rails, with a double column structure in an optimized layout. The large size of the pallets and the limited area available led Cassioli to develop the project for a stacker crane of 8 meters height and 130 meters long. The project started with the analysis of the statistical flow data, to calculate the system, and the volume, to provide the ideal load unit in order to efficiently accommodate the products. The pallet dimensions used on the study are 2.9 m x 1.94 m x 0.45 m, with a maximum weight of 2,500 kg. The project required a connection with the products receiving area and production area, with a difference in their heights that was compensated with the installation of the stacker crane.
