GEBHARDT Upstream
One system that covers everything
The dynamics of supply chains and sales markets have increased significantly in recent years and flexibly scalable solutions are therefore in demand. The GEBHARDT Upstream is characterised by its compact modular design. The flexibly scalable system can be adapted to a wide range of customer requirements in the best possible way and is easily expandable. Established GEBHARDT storage technology, without lifters and conventional conveyor technology, is used here. The GEBHARDT OLS X shuttle storage system with horizontal roaming and a grid stored above form the basis of the system. GEBHARDT Upstream combines three components in one system: The shuttle GEBHARDT StoreBiter® OLS X, the bot GEBHARDT StoreDiver and the workstation GEBHARDT SimplePick Flexible.
Benefits
- Modular design - expandable at any time
- Short commissioning time of only 6 months
- Flexible scaling of the number of shuttles and robots
- Direct access to individual totes without relocations
- Sequence-accurate delivery to the workstations
- Container weights of up to 50 kg
- Storage height of up to 18 m
- Greatest possible ease of maintenance for maintenance personnel
- No container waiting time at the workstation
- No complex continuous conveying technology and no need for lifters
- Higher throughputs are possible by adding additional shuttles, robots or workstations
GEBHARDT Upstream Components
GEBHARDT StoreBiter® OLS X shuttles take care of storage and retrieval within the warehouse and transfer the containers to the GEBHARDT StoreDiver robots via transfer stations between the rack rows. A wide variety of length, width and height ratios can be implemented to adapt to the customer's space conditions. Euro-standard containers of different heights can be stored in each storage level. The simple and reliable design increases the system availability compared to systems with vertical transport of the shuttles. Due to its standardised design, the compact system requires no complex pre-zone conveyor technology.
The individuality of customer orders is becoming increasingly important, especially in customer marketing. This also depends on the arrangement of goods in the packages. Through AI-optimized route planning and delivery of the source containers by the robots, the GEBHARDT StoreDiver enables sequencing and can particularly address the requirements of very small order quantities. The GEBHARDT StoreDiver moves freely on the grid level and takes over the containers from the transfer stations within the rack of the automated miniload warehouse. The transfer system creates highly efficient access zones and provides in-sequence delivery to workstations through direct access to containers. Workstations and I/O conveyor systems are possible on three sides of the warehouse. The grid on top of the warehouse allows containers to be loaded and unloaded on each side of the warehouse.
The GEBHARDT SimplePick Flexible workstation allows processing of multiple target containers and simultaneous orders. The workstation design of the GEBHARDT SimplePick Flexible is developed according to ergonomic principles. Short container change times enable dynamic processing of orders. With the logistics software GEBHARDT StoreWare you can optimally manage your warehouse. Each GEBHARDT StoreWare module is available individually and can be combined with the GEBHARDT Galileo IoT® and Galileo Insight platforms. The UI design of GEBHARDT StoreWare also ensures pleasant working. In addition, the use of the GEBHARDT SimplePick Flexible enables delivery of the target containers or cartons using conveyor technology. Automated guided vehicles (AGV) can achieve a highly flexible container supply. GEBHARDT StoreWare has interfaces to ERP and WMS systems. Using Deep Reinforcement Learning, optimal route finding and throughput increase can be achieved.
Revolutionising Warehousing
Focus on efficient optimisation solutions
The cost of logistics real estate is rising. Especially near cities, systems are needed that enable optimised space consumption with ideal height use. Optimal utilization of existing building volumes can be achieved by eliminating many travel paths of shuttles or robots. GEBHARDT Upstream can measure up to 100 m in length and 18 m in height. Thus, storage areas can be used efficiently.
