Retrofit of a high-bay warehouse using a model example (Hengstenberg, Bad Friedrichshall)

Hengstenberg GmbH & Co. KG develops and produces sour, wine vinegar and delicatessen products and stores its products in a high-bay warehouse at its site in Bad Friedrichshall. Three storage and retrieval machines supply two storage areas, which can accommodate single or double pallets. The companies Artschwager & Kohl Software GmbH and HEITEC AG were commissioned to modernise the three storage and retrieval machines, the conveyor technology and the safety equipment in the final packaging, storage and canning areas as well as the warehouse management system.

Realisation

HEITEC created new software for the storage and retrieval machines and carried out a safety assessment of the entire system, including the implementation of the resulting measures. The HEITEC specialists also installed the PROFINET components, designed and converted the conveyor technology control cabinets, retrofitted all drives controlled by frequency converters and replaced all operator terminals.

 

Customer benefits

  • Ensuring system availability and spare parts supply
  • Increased operational reliability
  • Precise positioning of pallets
  • Reduction of mechanical stress
