Automatisches Plattenlagersystem – Intelligente Plattenhandhabung

Das automatische Plattenlagersystem von Caelus ist nicht nur ein Lagersystem, sondern auch eine intelligente Plattform zur Logistikplanung für Platten. Es übernimmt automatisch das Sortieren, Lagern, Identifizieren, die Wegoptimierung und den Transport der Platten und gewährleistet so einen kontinuierlichen und effizienten Betrieb der Produktionslinie.

Der Hauptnutzen des automatisierten Lager- und Entnahmesystems (AS/RS) von Caelus:

* Deutliche Senkung der Kosten für die manuelle Materialhandhabung.

* Gewährleistet eine kontinuierliche Materialversorgung der Druckbalkensäge und der nachgelagerten Produktionslinien und steigert die Kapazität um 10–30 %.

* Identifiziert, entnimmt und sortiert Materialien automatisch und reduziert so menschliche Fehler (Verwechslungen, Fehlkommissionierung, Plattenbeschädigungen).

* Verbessert die Materialauslastung und optimiert den Produktionsrhythmus.

* Lässt sich in die gesamte Druckbalkensäge- und Kantenanleimmaschinen-Serie integrieren und ermöglicht so ein geschlossenes, intelligentes Fabrikmanagement. Dieses System eignet sich besonders für Fertigungsunternehmen, die ihre Produktionseffizienz verbessern, die Abhängigkeit von manueller Arbeit verringern und eine digitale Lagerverwaltung aufbauen möchten.

Automated Panel Storage and Retrieval for Furniture Production

Searching for sheets, moving stacks and waiting for materials can interrupt an otherwise efficient cutting process. Caelus connects panel storage with production scheduling, helping factories prepare the required boards and deliver them to cutting equipment in the planned sequence.For cabinet, wardrobe and custom furniture manufacturers, this creates a more consistent material flow as orders and panel requirements change.

Why Choose Caelus Panel Handling Automation?

Prepare Materials Before Cutting

Production-plan-based preparation and dynamic buffering help reduce panel saw waiting time. An optional rainbow stack unit supports advance preparation of mixed panel stacks.

Reduce Manual Handling and Selection Errors

Automatic storage, retrieval and transfer reduce repetitive lifting and manual searching. Coordinated panel identification and selection help prevent material mix-ups.

Support Controlled Panel Pickup

StoreTek 5 combines load monitoring, adhesion detection, overload prevention and a panel separation module. Its Schmalz suction system uses individually controlled cups that automatically adapt to board dimensions.

Configure Storage Around Your Production Line

Storage dimensions, travel paths and infeed and outfeed units can be configured for the project. Equipment combinations include front-loading and rear-loading panel saws, flexible cutting cells and CNC machines.

Applications in Panel Furniture Manufacturing

• Cabinet and wardrobe production: Organize panel supply for repeatable cutting workflows.
• Custom furniture manufacturing: Prepare materials for orders involving different finishes and specifications.
• Storage and cutting automation: Coordinate panel retrieval with saws or CNC processing equipment.

FAQ

Q1. What is an automatic panel storage system?

A: An automatic panel storage system stores, organizes, retrieves and transfers sheet materials for production. It combines handling equipment with control software to deliver the required panels to connected processing machines, reducing manual searching and transportation.

Q2. How is automated panel storage different from conventional storage racks?

A: Conventional racks provide storage space, while operators handle material selection and movement. An automated system also manages retrieval and delivery, allowing material preparation to follow the production plan and reducing repetitive handling.

Q3. Can Caelus panel storage connect to panel saws and CNC machines?

A: StoreTek 5 supports configurations with front-loading and rear-loading panel saws, flexible cutting cells and CNC machines. For an existing production line, the machine interface, loading arrangement and control requirements should be checked during project planning.

Q4. Can the system handle MDF, particleboard and plywood?

A: These are common materials in panel furniture production. Compatibility should be assessed for the selected configuration using panel dimensions, weight, surface condition, porosity and rigidity. Provide your material specifications or samples when discussing the handling solution.

Q5. How does the system help reduce panel saw waiting time?

A: The system prepares materials according to the production plan and uses buffering to coordinate delivery. This helps reduce delays caused by searching for panels, moving stacks and arranging the next batch manually.
