Optimizing AS/RS Systems with Demag Motors & Wheels

Warehouse efficiency is vital. Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS Systems) can deliver the warehouse automation efficiency demanded  by businesses. Important components of this type of system to optimize efficiency are the drive components used during the retrieval and transport processes. When it comes to gear motors and wheel systems, Demag stands out as a solution tailored to meet the multifaceted challenges of AS/RS design and operation.

Throughput and Order Picking Optimization

Achieving optimal throughput while optimizing order picking strategies
is crucial for AS/RS systems. Demag offers a wide range of gear motors to provide
precise torque control, ensuring efficient acceleration, deceleration,
starting, and stopping without compromising safety. Since the gear motor can
provide efficient motion, it enables seamless integration of batch picking,
wave picking, or zone picking strategies to minimize travel time and maximize
productivity.

Integration with Existing Systems

Seamless integration with existing Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and automation systems is essential for smooth operations. Demag motors can be easily integrated with any inverter, simplifying the incorporation of AS/RS into existing infrastructures without costly modifications.

Reliability and Maintenance

Reliability and ease of maintenance minimize downtime, increasing your uptime and operational efficiency. Demag wheel block systems are easy to replace on the transfer cars, reducing maintenance time and reducing downtime. When using Demag wheels and gear motors together, our components are designed for compatibility, providing assurance that motor, gearbox, and wheel combinations will function seamlessly together.

Scalability and Adaptability

AS/RS systems must be scalable and adaptable to accommodate changing business needs and operational requirements. Demag offers a wide range of gear motors and wheels to ensure scalability, allowing you to meet evolving business demands. This adaptability minimizes disruption caused by finding another supplier and optimizes the efficiency of workflow changes.

Compatibility with Different Product Types

AS/RS systems must handle all product types and sizes in the warehouse efficiently. Wheel block systems designed by Demag meet the demands of various product sizes, shapes, weights, and fragilities. The wide range of model options can meet even the strictest requirements. From heavy capacities to fragile loads, Demag gear motors deliver the precision and torque required for safe and efficient transport.

Environmental Factors

Consideration of harsh environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and dust control is essential. Harsh or specialized environments require components that are tailored to meet the demands of the environment. Demag offers wheel and motor options designed to withstand even the most demanding conditions, ensuring reliable performance in any environment.

Cost Management

Balancing upfront costs with long-term operational savings is critical for effective cost management. Demag offers reliable, matched products with guaranteed compatibility to provide a cost-effective solution. Our wheels and gear motors have minimal maintenance costs and optimized operational efficiency.
