Luoyang Wanji Aluminium Processing Company Limited of China has placed an order with SMS Logistiksysteme of Germany for the supply of a fully automated 250 meter long high bay store and of a transport system based on freely navigable vehicles. The equipment items are intended for a newly erected aluminum rolling mill in the eastern Chinese province of Henan.
The high bay store consists of three rows of shelves with a total storage capacity of 1,400 coils on 6 levels. In the 2 aisles, 2 storage and retrieval machines travel at a speed of up to 200 meter per min. The large store length of around 250 meters arises from the layout and space requirements of the neighboring cold rolling mills and of the finishing shop.
In the finishing shop, the coils are distributed by two driverless Automatic Coil Transporters. These transporters are supplied with transport orders by the warehouse management system which is likewise part of the supply.
Commissioning of the high bay store is expected to be concluded by mid 2012.
