Concept planning of an automatic high-bay racking system for coils at Schwermetall-Halbzeugwerk GmbH & Co. KG

Overview

Location: Stolberg, Germany
Storage area: approx. 1.800 sqm
Storage capacity: 800 coils
Maximum coil weight: 25 tons

HÖRMANN Rawema Engineering & Consulting GmbH successfully completed the concept planning for an automated high-bay racking system for coil storage for Schwermetall-Halbzeugwerk GmbH & Co. KG. The aim was to develop a resilient storage concept, optimize material flows and reliably simulate capacities and traffic situations.

Project content

Storage concept for automated coil storage

Creation of a practical storage concept with clear functional areas, transfer points and interfaces. The basis for efficient, safe and scalable coil logistics.

Update, analyze and expand material flow

Update the existing material flow, analyze bottlenecks and add automated processes. Targeted dimensioning of throughputs and buffer areas.

Optimization potential

Systematic development of optimization potential along warehouse, transport and transfer. Prioritized measures to increase efficiency and availability.

Layout variants (2D/3D)

Creation of layout variants in two dimensions (2D) and three dimensions (3D). Evaluation of route relationships, storage areas and set-up conditions in the context of the hall.

Simulation of storage capacity, capacity utilization, intensities

Simulation of storage capacities and capacity utilization including picking and handling intensities. Basis for decision-making for the dimensioning and performance of the system.

Traffic simulation and trajectories

Simulation of the traffic situation with trajectories for trucks. Safeguarding of routes, turning areas and delivery points.

Specifications and supplier management

Drafting of specifications with clear descriptions of services and interfaces. Requesting and evaluating offers for the structured selection of suitable suppliers.

Advantages of our solution

• Planning reliability: Simulated capacities and reliable layouts reduce risks in design and operation.
• Efficient material flows: Updated and expanded flow concepts shorten routes and stabilize throughput.
• Transparency: Variants and simulations create clear comparability and well-founded decisions.
• Traffic safety: Tractrix curve and traffic simulations ensure delivery and maneuvering areas.
• Supplier clarity: Precise specifications and structured evaluation strengthen quality and cost control.
