  • Automated high-bay warehouse (HRL)

  • Efficient use of space with large load carriers

    Do you need large storage capacities? High-bay warehouses enable optimum use of space and offer maximum storage capacity with a height of 12 to 45 meters, as the available floor space can be used optimally and effectively.

    Automated pallet warehouses ensure efficient goods storage and distribution - even for heavy and large-volume goods. With the help of complex racking systems, more than one hundred thousand pallet spaces can be realized.

      • Skypod system from Exotec

      • Innovative automated intralogistics system with autonomous warehouse robots

        The Skypod system from Exotec is a pioneering storage and picking solution for small parts. Several mobile Skypod storage robots move freely around the area and climb up to 14 meters up the shelves. From there, they pick up containers or trays and transport them autonomously to picking stations. The Skypod robots move in an enclosed area and can therefore travel at speeds of up to 4 m/s. They are the only active components in the entire storage area, the rest is steel and plastic. The flexibly designed goods-to-person system offers a wide range of possible applications and can be easily integrated into an overall logistics system from Unitechnik.

        Advantages of a Skypod system from Exotec:
        • High throughput
        • Flexibly scalable
        • Highest availability
        • up to 30kg load

          • Skypod storage robot

          • Autonomous mobile storage robots that transport containers or trays between the shelf compartment and the picking station. They travel at speeds of up to 4 m/s, climb up to 14 m on the shelves and have a payload of 30 kg. A loading time of 5 minutes per hour is sufficient.

          • Shelves

          • The modular shelving system from Exotec is up to 14 m high and adapts perfectly to the available space. Single or double-deep storage is possible. The purely passive systems can be extended during operation. Regulations for automatic sprinkler systems are met.

          • Containers / trays

          • Containers and trays have a base area of 650 x 450 mm. The bins are available in heights of 220, 320 and 420 mm. The containers can be divided into 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 compartments using removable plastic dividers. The payload is up to 30 kg.

          • Picking stations

          • Goods-to-person picking: The Skypod storage robots move onto a height-adjustable ramp for an ergonomic working height. Exotec offers a whole range of solutions: from manual provision to a complete put-to-light system to a fully automated Skypicker.

          • Conveyer Technology

          • The "Exchanger" is used to transfer containers into and out of the Skypod system. It enables the connection of other logistics systems, such as conveyor lines, replenishment from other storage areas, packing stations or AGV systems for production supply.

          • Deepsky software

          • Deepsky is Exotec's warehouse control system. It assigns orders to the Skypod warehouse robots and coordinates all warehouse movements. Thanks to an interface to the Unitechnik UniWare warehouse management system, the Skypod system can be easily integrated into an overall logistics concept from Unitechnik.

        • Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)

        • Flexible conveyor technology

          Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are increasingly replacing forklift trucks and offer an alternative to continuous conveyor technology. Unitechnik analyzes the requirements, selects suitable systems and integrates them with our UniWare warehouse management system via defined interfaces. We carefully plan transfer points to ensure seamless integration of the automated vehicles into our logistics systems.

          Advantages of driverless transport systems / AMR:
          • Flexible routes
          • Scalable performance
          • Requires little space
          • no forklift drivers

            • AGV

            • What is an automated guided vehicle system (AGV)?
              • Equipment: AGVs consist of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) with sensors, cameras or laser navigation systems
              • Central control system: Coordinates communication, order placement, route planning and monitoring of the AGVs
              • Navigation: AGVs navigate on predefined physical or virtual paths such as magnetic tapes, induction loops or reflector triangulation
              • Reaction to obstacles: AGVs stop and wait until obstacles are removed if safety sensors detect them
              • Path adherence: vehicles cannot leave the specified path and follow it strictly

              What is an autonomous mobile robot (AMR)?
              • Similarity to AGVs: AMRs look similar to AGVs on the outside, but differ in terms of navigation
              • Natural navigation: AMRs can redefine routes and avoid obstacles without the need for fixed paths
              • Self-navigation: The robot maps its environment and navigates without fixed hardware by using laser scanners, cameras or lidar systems
              • Communication: AMRs communicate either via a central control system or directly with each other
              • Swarm intelligence: Several AMRs work together to achieve a common goal through collective intelligence

            • Areas of application for AMR

            • Areas of application for AGVs and AMRs

              AMRs are suitable for applications with multiple and variable destinations, e.g:

              • Supply of workstations with material
              • Autonomous mobile picking robots
              • In hospitals, for example disinfection robots
              • Warehouse applications, especially in e-commerce and parcel services
              • Autonomous floor cleaners

              Areas of application for AGVs

              AGVs have their strengths where defined transport routes need to be operated at high frequency and as predictably as possible.

              In summary, it can be said that AGVs are often used in intralogistics environments to perform specific transportation tasks on predefined routes. AMRs, on the other hand, are more versatile and flexible and can navigate and operate autonomously in different industries and environments.
