Growing production volumes and increasing material requirements made traditional sheet storage inefficient and difficult to manage. Sheet metal bundles were stored on the floor and in static rack systems, resulting in long retrieval times, unnecessary material movements and limited available production space.
To improve efficiency, the customer implemented a Dexion Metal Sheet Storage Tower with integrated warehouse management software. The automated system provides fast access to stored material, full inventory visibility and reliable material traceability. By relocating storage vertically and outside the production area, the customer reduced forklift traffic, improved workflow and created additional usable space for manufacturing activities.
