SHEET METAL STORAGE

Automated Sheet Metal Storage for Efficient Laser Cutting Operations

Manufacturers depend on fast and reliable material availability to keep laser cutting operations productive. The MS Tower combines high-density vertical sheet metal storage with fast material retrieval, helping to maximise floor space, improve inventory visibility and support a continuous flow of materials between storage and production. Designed for modern fabrication environments, the system creates a structured and efficient connection between warehouse operations and laser cutting processes.

Vertical Storage

Space-efficient storage of sheet metal.

Fast Retrieval

Materials available when needed.

Laser Ready

Supports efficient production workflows.

WMS Ready

Improved inventory visibility.

APPLICATIONS

Where The MS Tower Creates Value

From laser cutting operations to central sheet metal warehouses, the MS Tower helps manufacturers improve material flow, increase storage density and create a more efficient connection between storage and production.

Replace floor-based sheet storage with high-density vertical storage and free up space for production, assembly and material flow.

Create organised storage locations, faster material retrieval and better visibility of sheet metal inventory throughout the production process.

The integrated transfer table creates a dedicated handover point between storage and production for fast and controlled sheet handling.

Controlled access points, dedicated transfer areas and reduced material movements support safer day-to-day operations.

Creating A Seamless Flow Between Warehouse And Laser Cutting

Store sheet metal vertically, free up valuable floor space and provide operators with fast access to the materials they need. The result is a more organised, safer and more productive manufacturing environment.

More Storage Capacity
Faster Material Access
Improved Stock Visibility
Reduced Handling Effort

HOW IT WORKS

See The Metal Sheet Tower In Action

Discover how vertical sheet metal storage improves material availability, reduces handling effort and supports efficient laser cutting operations.

The MS Tower stores sheet metal in vertically arranged containers and delivers the required load directly to the operator area. This goods-to-person approach helps reduce internal transport, free up valuable floor space and create a more efficient connection between storage and production. Designed for manufacturing environments, the system supports fast material access, improved inventory visibility and a structured material flow for laser cutting and fabrication operations.

CASE STUDY

Long Goods Project Spotlight

How automated sheet metal storage improved material flow, traceability and space utilisation at ZLKL.

MS Multi Tower installation at ZLKL manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic

Automated Sheet Storage

Efficient Material Supply for Four Punching Workstations

To support the growing demands of sheet metal processing, ZLKL invested in an MS Multi Tower automated storage system serving four punching workstations.

The solution delivers rapid material access, full traceability and streamlined internal logistics by bringing sheet material directly to the operator.

By combining high density storage, intelligent software integration and ergonomic material handling, the system improves productivity while reducing the space required for raw material storage. The successful implementation later led to a second identical installation, doubling overall storage capacity and production support.

Cantilever racks eliminated · New production line enabled

Aerospace Components Manufacturer - Czech Republic

A manufacturer of high-precision components for the civil aviation sector needed floor space for a new production machine. Existing static cantilever racks occupied the adjacent storage hall.

An LS Double Tower replaced the cantilever racking and achieved 172 m² of organised storage capacity within a 50 m² floor footprint - freeing the full adjacent space for the new production machine without a building extension.

Mixed container heights (200 mm, 300 mm, 400 mm) and dual load capacities (1,500 kg and 3,000 kg) were specified to match the customer's exact material range. WMS with remote diagnostics was included as standard.

The overall system footprint, tower dimensions and container sizes are defined on a project-by-project basis to match the customer's available space, material characteristics and storage requirements.
