Warehouse and Production Line Automation

For high-volume operations involving relatively small stock items, a fully automated storage and retrieval system could well be the most cost-effective solution.

Warehouse and Production Automation Systems

Warehouse and Production Line Automation

Absolute Storage has teamed with PHS Innovate to offer a wide selection of package handling systems through to fully automated warehouses. With our expertise in storage solutions and PHS Innovate’s expertise in package handling systems, we can offer a solution that will maximise your storage and assist you in gaining efficiencies with end of production line automation.

With the continual increasing costs for labour and land, warehouse and production line automation should be a serious consideration for any company looking to gain efficiencies whilst lowering their costs for the handling and distribution of their products.

Starting with a broad understanding of your operation, we will develop a concept and design a tailored solution. With the aim of streamlining your throughput in the warehouse or end of production line, we will specify various solutions such as depalletisers, conveyors, case picking, pallet handling, labelling and pallet wrapping.

PHS Innovate have their own manufacturing facility in Auckland NZ where they can build and test the solution prior to installation. With nearly 70 years of experience across a wide range of industries in both Australia and New Zealand, they have a strong and respected reputation for delivering advanced technologies.

With a dedicated team of engineers that design the mechanical, electrical and software components for all their systems, we can offer a service that starts with the concept and finishes with the installation and ongoing service and maintenance support.

Automated Pallet Storage Solutions

PHS RushMover - Automatic Modular Ciruit Pallet Mover

Automated storage solutions such as Satellite/Shuttle pallet racking, offers clients high density storage solutions whilst improving throughput efficiency. Whether pallets come into to your operation from containers or a production line, we can automate the retrieval of pallets, the put-a-away and dispatch.

Through our partnership with PHS Innovate we can provide the Italian designed and manufactured brand of AutoMHA products.

Semi-Automated (AutoSAT)

PHS AutoSat - Semi-Automated Pallet Shuttle

A semi-automated solution utilising a racking system that is very similar to Drive In.

Pallets are moved in and out of the rack using a pallet shuttle / satellite. The shuttle runs up and down each channel on dedicated rails and will place the pallet in the next available position when putting away or bring the pallet to the front when dispatching.

These functions can be performed in a manual process where one pallet is handled at a time or in an automatic mode where you select and confirm the number of pallets to be handled.

The shuttles are moved via a forklift / reach truck and placed in the chosen channel. Each shuttle is controlled via handheld remote that the operator controls from within the forklift. Remotes can be sync’d with your Warehouse Management System (WMS) or operate independently.

The shuttles are powered with Lithium batteries offering a full shift worth of power and are easily swapped over or charged via a 240v power source.

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)

– a perfect match for operations with a high throughput of pallets, an AS/RS system is fully automated from end to end. Whether pallets come into the system via production lines or containers, pallets are moved initially via a powered conveyor and go through a scanner to ensure they are square with no loose pallet wrap or objects.

We can offer 2 different solutions:

SRM (Stacker Crane)

PHS SRM Stacker Crane

Storage Retrieval Machine operates on a fixed rail with high density racking on either side. The storage can vary in depth depending on the product profile, so this is a great solution for maximising the storage capabilities of the facility. Being fully automated, each crane is independently controlled and operated and is powered by a busbar with is positioned at ground level.
The SRM can operate in temperatures ranging from -30 degC through to +55 degC and can handle multiple different product types such as pallets, containers, trays or rolls.

AutoSAT Mover

PHS AutoSatMover

Is a mother shuttle and can move AutoSAT shuttles between channels. Using pallet elevators to lift the pallets between levels, the pallet is moved onto the AutoSAT shuttle which is located on the AutoSAT mover. The AutoSAT mover then proceeds up and down each aisle that has high density, deep storage channels on either side. Once in front of the desired channel, the pallet is moved into position via the AutoSAT shuttle. The system is fully automated and powered by a busbar located on each level.

The SuperCAP shuttle has a supercapacitor instead of a battery and receives its charge from the Mover each mission, so no need for battery removal and charging.
