Automated miniload asr

TGW Logistics Group is to install automated mini-load storage and retrieval (ASR) systems at logistics service provider Simon Hegele's new distribution centre near Frankfurt, Germany.

When completed, the 50,000m2 centre will be the primary location for Simon Hegele's spare parts logistics service.

The automated mini-load operation incorporates five aisles of warehousing (which can be increased to nine aisles if required) and a pickup and delivery area with ten goods receiving stations, eight picking stations and four multifunctional workstations that can be used to perform value added services.

TGW's system includes the company's Mustang Evolution mini- load ASR machines and Twister load handling devices.
