The automatic choice

AVNET Logistics, global distributor of semiconductor, interconnect, passive, electromechanical and electronic systems components, has decided to implement an AutoStore system by Swisslog. Construction will start on the automatic spare parts and storage container system in the new AVNET Logistics Facility in Poing near Munich at the end of September.

The automated tote container system covering an area of 1100m2 will comprise 45,000 containers, which are stacked in a self-supporting modular aluminium grid. This grid can store approximately 35,000 articles. 37 robots collect components from their respective slots and bring 680 totes per hour directly to the 16 workstations. The planned daily packaging volume is 5000 order items.
