Dematic Mini-Load Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems

are designed to handle trays, totes and cartons. A Mini-Load AS/

RS delivers product to and from task workers or transportation

systems quickly and easily. Standard models are mated to

extraction/insertion components and tailored to your individual

product size and type. Pick-up and delivery stations and

interfacing transportation systems are also designed specifically

for your operation. All Dematic Mini-Load AS/RS offer fast pick-up

and delivery, dense storage and quiet operation. State-of-the-art

computer architectures coordinate input and output activity.

Mini-Load AS/RS control systems can interface with your

Warehouse Management System creating complete supply

chain accountability.

Retrieval Made Easy

We have a wide range of proven load handling attachments

to handle loads of almost every conceivable shape and size.

One example is our pneumatic gripper which securely holds

and extracts cartons that may not be in the best condition. The

design features of the load handling attachments facilitate space-

saving storage. Single or multiple load handling attachments can

handle several boxes or bins simultaneously, increasing system

performance. We also offer various other extraction devices.

Proven Experience

Dematic’s extensive AS/RS application

experience in different industrial and distribution

markets provides a knowledge basis for new

customer applications. We specialize in staging

systems for food and beverage, frozen food,

general merchandise, hardware, newspapers,

chemicals, and manufacturing, as well as niche

applications for mini-load systems, such as

library or small parts management systems.

Dematic provides stand-alone or fully integrated

systems that employ AS/RS for storage,

staging, work-in-process/assembly, module

replenishment, and order fulfillment. Our

modular, flexible technology can be customized

to meet any customer requirement.

“Goods to the person” order fulfillment.

Unit-Load Systems Dematic Unit-Load systems are designed

to handle a variety of standard and custom

loads, including pallets, rolls, and containers.

Unit-Load pallet handling machines utilize

lifting carriages equipped with telescopic forks,

satellites, or other load extracting devices.

Single deep, double deep or deep lane storage

configuration loads can be accommodated.

Alternative, pre-engineered extraction/insertion

devices are available to suit your product type

and size. Large products are handled gently

and consistently. Storage Retrieval Machines

can be mated to transfer cars that allow them

to work multiple aisles within the rack. Many

types of interfacing transportation systems

are available. The latest controls technology

for automatic or manual Unit-Load machines

makes them efficient and accurate. Machine

controls can interface with your Warehouse

Management System to improve product flow

and tracking. Reliability and ease of maintenance

are engineered into each machine.

Hardware staging and order picking.

Load handling devices must manipulate product gently, efficiently, and

precisely — and must be compact in order to minimize aisle and storage

cell size. Precise placement in and out of storage cells allows maximum

storage space utilization. Dematic load handling devices require minimum

operating space, creating optimum storage density. Load handling devices

are performance matched to throughput rates, assuring product will arrive

on time, every time. Dematic’s vast experience in fitting products to

the application gives us the ability to provide you with the best solution.

Interfacing transportation systems route product to and from

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems. Transportation

systems can include conveyor, automatic guided vehicles and

automated electrified monorail. The system choice must match

the throughput capabilities of the AS/RS, and it must coordinate

the AS/RS input and output process. From frozen food storage,

to pallet handling systems, to work-in-process operations,

Dematic can provide a complete, integrated AS/RS interfacing

transportation system. Product size and type, as well as routing,

and throughput needs are some of the factors that determine

the type of interfacing equipment to be used. Routing demands

and throughput rates are also key considerations. Complex

automated systems are computer driven and can interface with

Warehouse Management Systems.

Dematic IT StagingDirector® is a modular software program

designed to enhance the functional operation of Automated

Storage Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) and the associated,

integrated conveyor delivery and take-away system. By acting

as middleware between the Host Computer/WMS system and

the machine level controls, StagingDirector provides a window of

functions that allow users to maximize the efficiency of their AS/

RS investment.

StagingDirector offers comprehensive inventory control and

reporting. Real-time decision making control and AS/RS

component status are provided utilizing the Windows® operating

system. The software is pre-engineered and modular for flexibility,

and is optimized for access through the Dematic IT Portal, so

users have a single point of access to all Dematic IT Warehouse

Control Software (WCS).

With StagingDirector, the functional features of simple or complex

systems are easily configurable. The system can be configured

with automatic carrier routing, static or dynamic storage location

assignments, round robin aisle selection, specific customer

business rules, product attributes and automatic or manual

order activation. Dematic supplies complete, easy to understand

documentation for StagingDirector online, as well as direct system

upgrades and support via the Internet.
