Stacker Cranes
Automated stacker cranes bring speed and efficiency Travelling automatically along aisles, Körber’s stacker cranes are designed to efficiently handle the storage and retrieval of palletized goods in high-bay warehouses. They are highly efficient when it comes to stacking pallets in high-density storage racking solutions. Our automated stacker cranes offer much greater capacity, load and height capabilities than manually operated forklifts, for example, and are significantly more accurate, ensuring error-free, smooth, fast and safe storage and retrieval operations. Controlled by a warehouse management system, Körber stacker cranes can easily be adapted to the specific needs of your warehouse. Our modular stacker cranes can be configured in terms of size, load capacity, building height and cycle times, and can be made suitable for a wide range of applications.
RGV - Rail Guided Vehicles
Our RGVs provide a cost-effective and high-speed option for complex sorting applications that include pallets, containers, totes, cartons and frames. This is a much more efficient alternative to long conveyor lines when it comes to transporting products over greater distances across your warehouse. Our system is formed by the RGVs, which have a floor-fixed track rail (options include running rails, rail switching devices, lifts and maintenance areas, among others). In addition, we can provide specific elements, such as fences, access controls and light barriers, to ensure a completely safe working environment for warehouse workers.
Automated Storage Systems
Körber provides smart solutions to address the challenges facing all organizations that need to store large quantities of goods, including FMCG retailers and manufacturers. We look at your current processes and consult on how you can make the best use of your storage area. We then work with you to develop the best solution for your throughput and storage requirements. Automated storage and retrieval solutions eliminate the need for forklift trucks. You can store more because you can go higher and you only need to use very narrow aisles. Our automated stacker cranes can intelligently store and retrieve goods, giving you the most economical use of space. With our pallet shuttle systems, you can achieve even higher storage density, whilst maintaining a high stock turnover.
System Expansion and Retrofitting
Expansion and retrofitting challenges Organizations looking to grow or modernize their existing supply chain logistics systems without fully replacing them face challenges: If the original system supplier has retired the system, essential replacement parts are unlikely to be readily available. Without acquiring these spare parts, how can you modernize and future-proof your existing system? There may not be anyone at your original supplier who still has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of your current system Körber has access to all the necessary equipment and expertise required for a retrofit or expansion of your existing systems.
Conveying Systems
Conveyors for optimized transport of products Our conveyor systems cover the movement of all products in your entire logistics chain, from full or empty pallets and containers to totes and cartons. Körber’s conveyors are designed to efficiently move items to and from various process areas within your warehouse, or from one level to another. With a wide range of solutions, our portfolio for pallet handling includes powered or gravity roller conveyors, chain conveyors, slat conveyors and more. These can be completed with special devices such as lifts, stackers, destackers and quality check stations. For smaller goods, we offer roller-conveyor and belt-conveyor solutions, as well as all the additional components required for a complete system.
Warehouse Control
WCS integrates control of your warehouse automation Körber’s warehouse control system is vendor-agnostic and supports all material handling technologies. This creates a single point of data and communication amongst MHE, WCS, SCADA and WMS, and provides centralized control and management. It also ensures continued material flow if individual devices fail.
