Space-saving integration of an SMD warehouse at Phoenix Contact Electronics
Phoenix Contact Electronics is an internal supplier of electronic components for the Phoenix Group. The company manufactures components, systems, and solutions in the area of electrical engineering, electronics, and automation.
As part of restructuring measures in the warehouse due to a lack of space in the production area, a more efficient storage solution was sought. The SMD reels, printed circuit boards, and assembly groups were previously stored on static shelves, which took up a lot of space. Besides significantly increasing storage capacity, the company also wanted to retrieve parts needed for production more quickly.
The idea was to separate storage, retrieval, and order picking tasks in future in order to organize the overall process more productively. Planning and installation was made more difficult by the fact that space for the new system was severely limited by the presence of supporting beams in the ceiling.
