The dispensing process is secure and reliable – ideal for operations without permanent staff. The SMART-FLEXDEPOT Market is available in Classic and Fresh versions.
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION – INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMIZATION
The SMART-FLEXDEPOT impresses with its flexible, modular design, which allows it to be precisely adapted to almost any structural environment – down to the millimeter, thanks to configurable dimensions in 1 mm increments.
- Minimum dimensions: Width = 1.3 m | Length = 2.5 m | Height = 2.15 m
- Maximum dimensions: Width = 6.0 m | Length = 6.0 m | Height = 4.0 m
Whether confined spaces, low ceilings, chimney flues, landings, wall openings or disruptive exhaust air pipes – the SMART-FLEXDEPOT can be perfectly integrated into existing building structures. The modular system architecture not only enables optimum use of space, but also creates real structural freedom. This means that the system can be easily integrated into both new and existing buildings – without costly conversion work or restrictions in terms of function and accessibility.
The result: a sophisticated, space-saving and future-proof solution that fits seamlessly into your infrastructure and can be expanded or adapted at any time.
Everything under control: the AMI gripper system in the Smart-FlexDEPOT
The AMI gripper system is a highly developed automation solution that has been specially designed for use in order picking machines. It is based on a double-rotating 360° system that enables fast, precise and gentle handling of goods. Regardless of the type of product – be it cartons, bottles or other containers – the gripper system ensures safe and damage-free storage and removal. The high rotation speed and precision significantly reduce the cycle time per item and optimize the overall efficiency of the process. As a central component in the picking process, the gripper system ensures error-free and rapid processing, which significantly increases the overall performance of the system.
Gripping with precision – versatility in action
The AMI gripper system in the SMART-FLEXDEPOT impresses with its reliable handling of a wide variety of packaging shapes. Bottles, cans, tubes, cartons and many other dimensionally stable items are moved quickly, safely and gently. The precise gripper technology ensures smooth workflows and high efficiency in every picking process.
Intelligent load carrier technology for perfect order picking
The SMART-FLEXDEPOT maximizes storage capacity by filling the entire load carrier as a usable storage area. All stored goods have individually assigned storage locations and can be stored or retrieved quickly and efficiently thanks to direct access. Orders can be completely picked and staged on the load carriers if required.
The load carriers are made of lightweight, rigid materials used in aviation technology and guarantee high stability and durability. The height categories of the load carriers can be automatically adapted to changes in the product range without the need for user intervention. This enables the system to adapt flexibly and quickly to changing requirements and ensures a high level of efficiency throughout the entire storage process.
