Smart Flow Rack Warehouse

It is a semi-automated storage warehouse. The storage system operates on a gravity-based principle, using rollers to automatically move pallets or bins from the infeed side to the picking position following the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle.

Detailed information

The system operates in a semi-automated mode, in which the material flow cycle within each rack lane is automated. Goods flow in a single direction, with the two rack faces serving separate functions: one side for inbound storage and the other for outbound picking. This model is particularly suitable for warehouses handling a wide variety of SKUs at low variety but high quantity per SKU, helping optimize space utilization and improve inventory management efficiency.

Features

  • Gravity-based operation: No electricity required, ensuring smooth and continuous product flow.
  • FIFO principle (First In – First Out): Guarantees that goods stored first are retrieved first, ideal for products with expiration dates.
  • Wide pallet compatibility: Supports Euro pallets, plastic pallets, metal pallets, CHEP pallets, and more.
  • Easy system integration: Can be combined with hand pallet trucks, reach trucks, stacker cranes, AS/RS systems, etc.
  • Modular design: Includes infeed, outfeed, and intermediate modules for easy installation and scalable expansion.
  • “Time Plus” pallet separator mechanism: Automatically holds the next pallet for 20 seconds after the first pallet is removed, enhancing forklift operation safety.
  • Flexible load capacity: Supports pallets from 60 kg up to 1,250 kg, even within the same storage lane.
  • Cold storage compatibility: Reliable operation in low-temperature environments down to −30°C.
  • High safety – low maintenance: Load separation devices prevent accidents caused by pallet sliding, with no pressure transmitted to foot pedals.

Advantages

  • Space optimization: Remove forklift travel aisles.
  • Faster picking and dispatch: Operates under FIFO or FILO principles (10–15 pallets/hour).
  • Wide environmental suitability: Operating temperature range from −30°C to +45°C.
  • High safety level: Integrated braking systems compliant with occupational safety standards.

System Structure

Rack Frame

The rack structure is load-bearing, primarily made of steel, designed for pallet storage and support. Both ends of the rack are installed with an inclination of approximately 4°, combined with rollers that allow pallets to move horizontally by gravity.

The pallet rack structure is designed to ensure:

  • High safety and stability (safe speed < 0.3 m/s)
  • No electrical power required
  • High reliability
  • Long service life with minimal maintenance

Integrated mechanical protection devices ensure stable and reliable operation.

Standard Rollers

A purely mechanical, non-powered structure made mainly of steel and aluminum, allowing pallets to roll smoothly and move easily along the lane by gravity.

Designed to ensure:

  • High-quality bearings
  • Load-resistant polymer design
  • Dust resistance
  • Cold-storage compatibility
  • Low wear rate
  • Easy replacement

 

Speed Control Rollers

Similar to standard rollers, speed control rollers are non-powered mechanical components installed alternately along the lane to reduce pallet speed without stopping movement, ensuring safe and stable operation.

  • Meets safety standards
  • Maintains travel speed below 0.3 m/s
  • Easy to replace

Brake System

A mechanical braking device that decelerates and stops pallet movement based on actual speed and load, ensuring operational safety. The system complies with ISO 45001 occupational safety standards and requires minimal maintenance.
