HIGH-BAY WAREHOUSE – MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE IN MINIMUM SPACE

Automated high-bay warehouses increase storage capacity, reduce unit costs, and ensure predictable throughput – from normal temperatures to deep-freeze conditions.

SLG plans and implements solutions in glad rack construction or in existing buildings, single, double, or multiple deep, precisely tailored to material flow, property, budget, and IT environment.

Building with high-bay warehouse from System Logistics

WHY A HIGH-BAY WAREHOUSE?

  • GAIN PRODUCTION SPACE:

    Expanding production often costs logistics space – the high-bay warehouse creates capacity with a minimal footprint


  • COPE WITH LABOUR SHORTAGE:

    A higher degree of automation reduces personnel requirements


  • ENABLING GROWTH:

    Consistent (high) performance with scalable operation

Building with high-bay warehouse from System Logistics

YOUR ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE

Minimal footprint with maximum storage density

High throughput with minimal use of resources

Protected & gentle product handling

Consistent and sustained high performance

CONSTRUCTION
  • Glad rack construction: Roof and wall are mounted directly on the rack
  • In-house: Rack is located inside the building
STORAGE DEPTH
  • Single depth: fast access, high throughput
  • Double depth: combination of storage density and throughput
  • Multiple depth: maximum storage density for large batches
TEMPERATURE RANGES Deep-freeze to approx. -28 °C, frozen, cold, ambient temperature
STORAGE CONCEPT
  • Stacker crane with single or double LHD
  • Stacker crane with shuttle/channel vehicle
  • Lifting transfer car with shuttle
  • 2D/3D Shuttle
CONSTRUCTION HEIGHT Depending on the project, up to ~45 m
CAPACITY Approx. 1,000–50,000 pallet locations (project-specific)
STORAGE DEPTH Single, double and multiple deep
LOAD CARRIERS Pallets, mesh boxes, special load carriers, etc.
TEMPERATURE −28 °C to +40 °C (depending on design)
THROUGHPUT Depending on aisles, RBG performance, conveyor technology, shift model
TECHNOLOGY TRADE Sprinklers, inertization, PV, roof and facade greening
SUSTAINABILITY

Energy saving & recovery

SOFTWARE

Line management, yard management, building automation & visualisation

WAREHOUSE AREAS

Manual pallet warehouse, order picking, packaging, display construction, quality inspection

BROWNFIELD

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Depending on complexity, 6-18 months – from planning & approval to assembly & commissioning.

Design, environment, fire protection concept, pallet type and weight, max. throughput, requirements such as PV, facade, etc.

Yes – performance improvements, modernisation of the control system/IT and expansions can often be implemented during ongoing operations.

Essentially the same principle (automatic pallet warehouse with Stacker cranes): Hochregallager (DE),
high-bay warehouse (EN), AS/RS / unit-load AS/RS (system category).

  • Expansion of production requires additional logistics space
  • Skilled labour shortage necessitates automation
  • Growth necessitates automation

They coordinate mechanics, electrics, IT and operations to create a complete solution – from requirements analysis and design to commissioning and handover to stable operation.

The basis is the specification phase, in order to understand our customers’ requirements in detail as well as possible. The solutions developed on this basis are tested virtually in-house against a “digital twin”. Both within the department and across departments, before the processes are approved together with the customer in the factory acceptance test.

In our experience, early involvement of and cooperation with local authorities & fire protection institutes and external planners is an important factor in ensuring that approvals and acceptances run as smoothly as possible.
