WE’RE GOING OFF THE RAILS

THE NEW VARIOCART

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.
