The "CybiStar" is a pallet storage system that utilizes a shuttle (transport cart) to travel along lanes within racks, enabling efficient storage and retrieval of a wide variety of palletized goods in large quantities. Since aisles between racks are not required, high-density storage is possible. This allows for space reduction while maintaining storage capacity or increasing storage volume within the current space. Additionally, because the shuttle transports goods within the racks, it reduces interference between forklifts and travel distances, enhancing work efficiency and safety. 【Features】 ■ Achieves high-density storage of palletized goods ■ Reduces forklift operations ■ Supports quality maintenance and expiration management ■ Can be operated with a minimal number of shuttles ■ Two types available: automated warehouse type and forklift type *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the logistics system implemented at Sumitomo Heavy Industries Ion Technology Co., Ltd. The conventional production system relied on manual labor, and automation was difficult in some processes. To improve production efficiency, we focused on the parts supply process. We introduced the "Rotary Rack H" with the aim of enhancing the efficiency of inbound and outbound operations for approximately 15,000 types of parts. After implementation, the storage area for parts was reduced to half compared to the conventional flat shelf storage. With the operation of GTP (Goods To Person) supplying parts to the workers, the picking time was shortened from 3 minutes per item to 1 minute. [Case Overview] ■ Challenge: The conventional production system relied on manual labor, and automation was difficult in some processes. ■ Effects: - The storage area for parts was reduced to half compared to the conventional flat shelf storage. - Picking time was shortened from 3 minutes per item to 1 minute. - The number of picking errors decreased, and by managing inventory with free location, the burden of manual location management was also alleviated. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

• Automated Warehouse System

We would like to introduce a case where the company Seidensha Co., Ltd., which is engaged in proposals, design, and manufacturing related to electric control, has implemented an automated warehouse "Bucket Stacker." Previously, the procurement and storage of approximately 30,000 parts were managed using paper slips and flat storage, requiring a tremendous amount of time and personnel for sorting and inventory checks. Additionally, specialized knowledge of the parts was necessary, leading to issues such as not knowing where and how many of the parts that were supposed to have arrived were located, which only veteran staff could understand. By automating the complicated storage and sorting operations of parts with the introduction of an automated warehouse, significant efficiency improvements were achieved. The system operates by storing parts in high-rise racks and automatically handling inbound and outbound logistics, resulting in a dramatic enhancement in storage efficiency and search functionality. [Challenges] - The procured parts were stored in cardboard boxes, and only the responsible personnel knew where everything was stored. - There were issues with inventory accuracy due to analog management. - There were three types of parts that looked almost identical, which made the sorting process time-consuming. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

The combination of the pallet storage system "CybiStar" and the unmanned forklift (AGF) automates high-density storage of pallet items. The movement of the CybiStar, as well as the inbound and outbound operations of pallet items, is also automated. It is ideal for nighttime operations and 24-hour operations where securing workers is difficult. ■ High Density and Large Storage Compared to flat storage and conventional pallet racks, it achieves approximately double the storage capacity in the same space, significantly improving storage efficiency. ■ Automation and Labor Reduction Since the AGF automatically changes the opening of the shuttle within the rack, it can greatly reduce manual labor. Depending on the workload and required capacity, fully automated inbound operations can be handled by the AGF, while outbound operations can use conventional forklifts, allowing for flexible operations. ■ Flexible Layout Because it combines racks with laser-guided forklifts, automation can be achieved with a free layout without obstructing aisle pathways with conveyors, etc. It can also be implemented in layouts that span multiple sections or in warehouses with complex shapes. ■ Easy Installation, Modification, and Expansion Installation is simple and does not require extensive facility construction, making it ideal for leased warehouses that require restoration to their original condition. The laser-guided forklift does not require path tape on the floor, allowing for easy changes to the travel route via a screen.

The "Rapid Roll Conveyor" is a roller conveyor driven by the friction of a flat belt. The tension of the drive belt employs an air cylinder type automatic tensioning system, eliminating the need for manual tension adjustment. We offer two types: the "Accumulation Type," which allows for drive control by zone, and the "Basic Type," which operates with a single drive, suitable for various applications. 【Features】 ■ Capable of high-speed transport up to 120m/min ■ High-density rope pressure ■ Easy and low-cost ■ No manual tension adjustment required ■ Standard equipped with belt covers to prevent pinching and entrapment *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
