Firma Mark Metallwarenfabrik GmbH was started almost 100 years ago as a producer of metal parts for the shoe industry.
Today the family-run company works together with the automotive industry, medical and electrical engineering, the construction industry and many other sectors. Its core area of expertise is the deep drawing of high-precision metal parts – many of which are for security functions.
Annual production amounts to 2.3 billion precision parts.

Mark, a company steeped in tradition, has grown rapidly over the last years. The expansion of production has, however, also resulted in a cramped warehouse. Pallets with parts or finished goods often had to be relocated five or six times. Apart from an increased effort for storage, this also caused difficulties when recording and managing stocks....

Projektbeschreibung The requirement:
Excellent performance in a limited space
Due to the tight conditions, pallets constantly had to be relocated from production and for shipping. That not only wasted the time of the company’s staff, but also made it difficult to track and maintain an overview of stocks.
A new warehouse system needed to take all of this into account and operate with small space requirements.


The solution:
Relief through automation
The intralogistics specialists at Jungheinrich proposed extending the warehouse with an automated pallet high bay warehouse. As a superordinate control system for all warehouse processes, the Jungheinrich Warehouse Management System (WMS) was to be implemented. After only a brief project-planning phase, the realisation process began.

High bays and intelligent software
Jungheinrich met this requirement by creating a two-aisle, double-depth pallet high bay warehouse, with 4 pallet lines in each aisle linking to production and the existing manual warehouse. Two stacker cranes automate the storage and retrieval of stock, achieving high throughput speeds in the 78 m long aisles of the 19 m high automated warehouse. Pallets in the automated area are handed over and picked up using two rail-guided roller transfer cars. They act as powerful shuttles in the conveyor system also supplied by Jungheinrich. The Jungheinrich Warehouse Management System (WMS) manages the more than 5,000 pallet storage locations in the manual and automated warehouse area. As the superordinate software, it intelligently controls the entire material flow, optimises all of the warehouse processes, and ensures maximum efficiency and transparency. The modular structure and multidimensional configuration model offered by the Jungheinrich WMS ensure that it can be easily adapted to any future changes.

Most important results:
• Efficient intralogistics processes
• Saves space
• Faster throughput
• More accurate stock management... [more]
