Features & Benefits of Magic Rack
High density
- Deep Storage provides outstanding storage capacity
- Deep Storage carries multiple pallets to a single lane
and stores them along with minimal space in between.
It optimizes the use of limited space by achieving a high level
of storage efficiency that was not possible
with traditional storage methods.
-
POINT 01
-
Double the amount of pallet storage
Magic Rack does not require forklift aisles.
It significantly increases the storage efficiency of your available space!
-
Traditional
- Traditional pallet rack
- Storage capacity: 780 pallets
(Installation space: about 1,200m2)
-
with Magic Rack
- Keep the same storage capacity in half the space
- Storage capacity: 780 pallets
(Installation space: 600m2)
-
with Magic Rack
- Double the storage capacity!
- Storage capacity: 1,560 pallets
(Installation space: 1,200m2)
-
POINT 02
-
Halve the building height when constructing a new warehouse
With Magic Rack, when constructing a new warehouse, you can cut the building height in half compared to traditional stacker crane-type automated warehouses! Helps to reduce construction costs and materials.
-
Traditional
- Traditional automated warehouse
- * When pallet height is 1.5m
-
with Magic Rack
- Building height is halved!
- * In comparison with same number of pallets and floor space
Automation
- Increase on-site efficiency
by saving labor on forklifts - Magic Rack is a system that automatically stores pallets
with unmanned carriers, the "Magic Dolly" and "Magic Shuttle,"
working in pairs. It delivers long-term cost reductions for logistics sites
by reducing forklift work in storage areas and carrying
out automatic warehousing/shipping and assorting 24 hours a day, every day.
-
POINT 01
-
Minimized forklift work
Magic Rack automatically stores and retreives pallets with unmanned carriers, greatly reducing the forklift work area.
No more precious time wasted moving around warehouse for storing, retreiving and moving inventory.
-
Traditional
- Traditional automated warehouse
-
with Magic Rack
- Forklift work is done only near the access rack
-
POINT 02
-
Smooth shipping with automatic sorting
Magic Rack can take advantage of the late-night hours when it is not in use to sort pallets in advance for the shipping of the following day.
The next day work can begin from the point where sorting is complete, reducing the truck wait time and forklift work.
-
with Magic Rack
- Automatically sorted overnight
-
with Magic Rack
- Next morning, just load!
Flexibility
- Build optimum system for space
and operations at logistics sites - You can flexibly fit Magic Rack in buildings
and spaces that come in various shapes.
You can also coordinate Magic Rack
with various logistics systems in accordance
with your existing operations to create a optimized system.
-
POINT 01
-
Fits various building shapes
Magic Rack's layout is flexible, so you can make the most of buildings and spaces that come in various shapes.
-
- L-shaped layout
-
- Triangular ceiling
-
- Buildings with varying heights
-
POINT 02
-
Coordinate with various logistics systems
Magic Rack can be coordinated with various logistics systems such as automatic guided vehicle systems (AGV/AGF), picking systems, and automatic sorting, depending on your operations, to provide an optimal solution.
-
- Magic Rack can be coordinated with various systems
Magic Rack installation/usage examples
Magic Rack with its high flexibility is suitable for the operation of various distribution centers,
depending on the equipment configuration and combination.
- Model for large-scale centers
- Lifter will automatize access to each tier. Prevents operational error and heavy forklift labor.
- Model for small- to medium-size centers
- Responds flexibly to storage and retrieval of high-mix low-volume products, while achieving high-density storage and labor savings
- Model for High-Bay storage
- Combination of stacker crane and Magic Rack will enable high-bay and high-density storage for limited space.
Magic Shuttle, with the world's slimmest design, will enable three-level storage for 1.5m height pallets in a warehouse with a 5.5m ceiling height.
* Required space varies depending on the specification.
