[Logis-Tech Tokyo 2022] High Density Storage System "MAGIC RACK®" - Sumitomo Heavy Industries Transport Systems, Ltd.

Hello.
In this exhibition, we will be discussing the Magic Rack, which is revolutionizing space.
The theme of the exhibition is “Linked to any future.”

In recent years, there have been issues such as worker shortages and white logistics, but in terms of the on-site environment and the definite elements of the logistics industry, we have to be careful not to make the same mistakes that we made in the past.

I think there are some customers who have difficulty in making investments.
In such a case, we have the Magic Rack, a high-density automated storage warehouse, and the

Combined with automated transfer robots such as AMR and AGF, such problems can be solved.

Let’s begin with an introduction to the Magic Rack and what it is all about.
This cart that moves back and forth is called a magic dolly.

This one moves back and forth, and to the left and right is a cart called a magic car.

These two cars work in pairs here, traveling inside the shelves and sending the goods to the back of the shelves.

Based on this method, the magic rack is moving.

Such a storage scheme allows for approximately twice the storage capacity of a conventional pallet rack.

Three-tiered cargo can also be stored in a typical building height of 5.5 meters.

Furthermore, the same amount of storage and space can be stored at approximately 1/2 the building height of a conventional automated warehouse.

Thus, the Magic Rack is an automated warehouse capable of high-density storage.

The installation of this Magic Rack is an effective way to utilize the space available.

AMR or AGF can be installed.

For example, by linking a magic rack or an AGF, you can automatically transport goods in the same environment as a forklift truck.

Also, by linking the Magic Rack with the AMR, it is possible to minimize space and perform automatic storage, automatic transport, and fixed-point picks.

Other methods include linking with conveyors.

Can also be linked with logistics variation.

Combined with AGF for transfer robots and AMR, it can be seamlessly expanded without stopping the site.

It also allows for unmanned or shared switching operations depending on the time of day or the time of year.

Thus, by linking high-density automated storage warehouses and magic racks with automated transfer robots, we can offer proposals more suited to a variety of on-site operations.
