AUTOMATED STEEL PROFILE STORAGE SYSTEM

Revolutionizing Long Material Storage with Intelligent Automation

The Automated Profile Storage System is a state-of-the-art storage solution purpose-built for managing long metal profiles—such as aluminum, steel, and copper extrusions—more safely, efficiently, and compactly than traditional storage methods. This system seamlessly integrates gantry crane automation, motorized mobile racking, and intelligent dispatch controls to optimize every square meter of your warehouse.

Applications

Space Efficiency: Reduces storage space by 50%

Enhanced Work Ergonomics: Quick material state inspection

Automated Loading/Unloading: Shortens material handling time

Operator Safety: Multiple safeguards in place

Configurable Storage: Adjustable shelf spacing

Smart System: Memorizes pallet contents for better organization

Flexible Control: Mechanical or manual system for material planning

Why It Matters

Traditional profile storage systems suffer from several chronic inefficiencies:

Wasted space due to wide forklift aisles.

Low vertical space usage, especially above 5 meters.

Slow material retrieval times due to manual searching.

High labor and safety costs, especially from high-level picking or heavy equipment accidents.

The Automated Profile Storage System solves these problems with an integrated, smart, and space-saving design that enables zero-aisle, high-density, and high-speed operations.

Core Features & Advantages

1. Gantry Crane + Mobile Rack Integration

The heart of the system is a precision-controlled gantry crane working in tandem with electric mobile racking, enabling completely automated material storage and retrieval without forklift intervention.

Zero aisle design: Space is only opened when access is needed.

High-speed gantry: Multi-axis motion with sub-second response for rapid throughput

Full automation: From inbound to retrieval, all movements are coordinated digitally.

2. Space Optimization

The system transforms underutilized warehouses into high-density storage hubs.

+68% storage density compared to conventional racking.

Aisle width reduction by 85%, freeing up floor space.

Vertical utilization >85%, making the most of warehouse height.

3. Speed and Efficiency

What used to take 20–30 minutes now takes just 3–5.

Find and retrieve in seconds: Materials are located and accessed via digital path planning.

Smart zoning: Inventory is organized for minimal crane travel and maximum speed.

Up to 400% increase in daily pick operations per person.

4. Intelligent Control System

A centralized control platform powers the entire operation:

Real-time inventory tracking with positioning accuracy of 99.9%.

Condition monitoring to detect and resolve issues before they cause downtime.

AI-optimized routing for every pick, load, and unload cycle.

Optional ERP/WMS integration and RFID/barcode scanning.

5. Safety Built-In

Manual errors and high-level operations are minimized or eliminated.

No need for workers to climb or manually search.

Accident risk from dropped materials or forklift collisions is virtually eliminated.

Gantry system includes multi-level redundant safety protections.

Proven ROI & Customer Value

Lower Operating Costs

Labor reduction by 60–70%

Reduces energy and maintenance costs vs. AGVs or shuttle systems

Cuts storage footprint by 30–50%, reducing rent or freeing up production space

Fast Payback

In a standard 300 m² facility, most customers:

Recover investment within 16–18 months

Boost usable storage capacity from 210 tons to over 400 tons

See annual cost savings between ¥450,000–¥600,000

Customer Results

A leading aluminum profile company cut picking times from 25 minutes to 4 minutes, eliminated forklift accidents, and achieved a 22% increase in storage capacity—all in a smaller footprint.

Another automotive components firm reduced profile damage by 95% and lifted order fulfillment accuracy to 99.8%.

Optional Enhancements

Remote diagnostics & support

Integrated weighing systems for load validation

Profile-specific clamps for non-standard materials

Dust-proof or weather-protective enclosures
