Precision and versatility in the new special automated storage system for renewable energy
Ferretto Group, in collaboration with Bottero Glass Technology, an important manufacturer of glass processing machinery, has developed an automated storage system for a leading Chinese producer of solar panels.

Objectives:

Manage the storage of the various types of solar panels, sorted by category
Implement panel quality control, picking the unit loads and where necessary repositioning them in the correct category inside the system
Create a buffer between two different product processing stages
Improve product traceability

Solution:

An automated storage system connecting two production areas, equipped with three single-mast stacker cranes that slide on the same track and fitted with suction cups to handle 3 mm thick panes of glass
Single-depth industrial racking system with 60 load levels
Interface and management with WMS developed by Ferretto Group for the storage system incoming and outgoing lines

Technical details:

Simultaneous management of the three stacker cranes on a single track
Sharing of storage areas on the racking between the three stacker cranes, in automatic cycle
Possibility to exclude one or more stacker cranes from the automated handling cycle

Added value:

Improved product traceability and storage
Optimised company production processes
Optimised quality control processes
