WE’RE GOING OFF THE RAILS
THE NEW VARIOCART
Sheet metal storage automation without rails. From STOPA.
THE NEW ERA OF SHEET METAL STORAGE LOGISTICS: MORE FLEXIBILITY, MORE FREEDOM, MORE EFFICIENCY
OFF THE RAILS – AND INTO A NEW ERA OF STORAGE AUTOMATION
BOOST THE EFFICIENCY OF YOUR PRODUCTION AND ENJOY
NEW FREEDOMS AND FLEXIBILITY WITH THE NEW, INTELLIGENT
VARIOCART TRANSPORT SYSTEM.
We have been supporting our customers in the customisation of their sheet metal
storage design for many years, enabling highly efficient storage logistics with our
premium automated storage systems.
Now we are taking it one step further! After all, why should the various stations
always be connected by rail? With a wealth of experience gathered from 1900 installed
systems and the unique automation expertise of our engineers, we are entering a
new era of sheet metal storage logistics. Limitations with regard to the positioning of
machines or in the material flow are now a thing of the past. Rails? No longer needed.
The new VARIOCART transport system moves freely and without rails, bypasses
ob stacles and connects all conceivable stations in a fully automatic sheet metal store.
The result: more flexible hall utilisation, simplified transport paths and increased efficiency
for your production.
AUTONOMOUS AND FREE-MOVING TRANSPORT SYSTEM
The VARIOCART moves completely freely – without rails. Scan-
ners survey the environment, thus allowing the system to learn
the geometry of the storage. The VARIOCART then avoids new
obstacles or seeks alternative routes.
FLEXIBLE CONNECTION OF DIFFERENT STATIONS
From now on, there are no limitations to the connection of stations.
Regardless of whether different production machines are to be
linked with the storage or goods receipt is to be incorporated in
the storage logistics – the VARIOCART integrates a wide variety of
stations flexibly and intelligently.
A SINGLE SOLUTION
FOR OPTIMISING YOUR TRANSPORT LOGISTICS
Where in the past several transport systems were needed to fulfil all
logistics requirements, the task can now often be performed by a
single solution: the VARIOCART. This optimises the utilisation of the
transport system while preserving the logistics budget.
NEW HALL UTILISATION POSSIBILITIES
The flexibility of the VARIOCART grants new freedoms and
enables the existing hall area to be utilised optimally. Stations no
longer have to be aligned with a rigid storage grid. For example,
machines can be positioned in the second row, closer together,
or turned around. Even connection to a neighbouring bay is no
problem.
DIRECT TRAVEL PATHS – SHORTER TRANSPORT TIMES
The VARIOCART is intelligently linked with the storage and machine
control system. Jobs sent to the transport system are forwarded
via interfaces and carried out promptly. At the same time, direct travel
paths between the provisioning stations save time and costs.
STEPLESS CONTROL – GENTLE BRAKING
The speed of the VARIOCART can be controlled individually be-
tween 0 and 33 m/min. At bottlenecks the automatic mechanism
adapts and slows down gently and carefully.
