Luoyang Wangi orders a 250-m-long high-bay store from SMS Logistiksysteme
Luoyang Wanji Aluminium Processing Co., Ltd., China, has placed an order with SMS Logistiksysteme, Germany, for the supply of a fully automated 250-m-long high-bay store and of a transport system based on freely navigable vehicles (A.C.T.) The equipment items are intended for a newly erected aluminum rolling mill in the eastern Chinese province of Henan.
The high-bay store consists of three rows of shelves with a total storage capacity of 1,400 coils on six levels. In the two aisles. Two storage and retrieval machines travel at a speed of up to 200 m/min. The large store length of around 250 m arises from the layout and space requirements of the neighboring cold rolling mills and of the finishing shop.
In the finishing shop, the coils are distributed by two driverless Automatic Coil Transporters (A.C.T.). These transporters are supplied with transport orders by the warehouse management system, which is likewise part of the supply.
Commissioning of the high-bay store is expected to be concluded by mid-2012.
This new order from China enables SMS Logistiksteme to extend its run of records in the construction of high-bay stores. At the beginning of the 1990s, the highest store, allowing up to 15 coils to be stacked vertically and with a storage capacity of more than 4,000 coils, was supplied to the then firm of BREGAL; in 2007, the Ping’ An group placed an order for the world’s highest-altitude high-bay store for coils on the Tibetan plateau; and now, at 250 m, the longest coil high-bay store is being implemented at Luoyang Wanji Aluminium Co., Ltd..
