Platform independent approach
At CeMAT 2016 Viastore will present its wide range of solution offerings in the field of intralogistics IT.
With the standard-product WMS and WCS viadat and SAP logistics solutions (EWM and WM), the company offers a technology-neutral, and platform-independent portfolio including consulting and a wide range of services.
With its WMS Viadat, viastore offers an efficient, well-proven and future-proof software for controlling entire intralogistics systems. Viadat reliably and efficiently manages material flow and order picking systems, conventional and automated warehouses, distribution centres and logistics centres. The WMS is suitable for small systems with low order volume and for huge distribution centres with several hundred thousand order lines a day. It can be applied for highly automated systems just as for conventional manual or forklift-operated systems. Viastore supports its customers in each stage of the project, from planning via implementation and commissioning to updates, maintenance and servicing. The Viadat user interface has recently been optimised for increased usability and intuitiveness, and provides even more extensive ways of data evaluation and data analysis thanks to its additional KPI tools.
Shuttle
Component manufacturer Weisser implemented a new shipping warehouse from Viastore Systems for the company which provides a high degree of flexibility, energy efficiency and availability thanks to the use of modern shuttle technology. The firm installed turnkey intralogistics systems and software provides automatic storage systems based on automated storage/retrieval machines (AS/RS) and the viaflex shuttle system.
In shuttle technology, the goods are transported to the storage location or the transfer location for order picking via individually driven, self-powered vehicles. The shuttles run on rails that are attached to each row of racks and are elevated to the appropriate rack levels by means of lifts. With the viastore solution, the viaflex³ shuttles are able to independently move from one aisle to another – without requiring aisle transfer cars or similar equipment. Wheels that are rotatable by up to 90 degrees allow the shuttle cars to drive into the next aisle, for example via switches and passages in the racks.
