MIDI
Modular sheet metal storage system for large quantities of flat goods

Sheet Metal Storage

The MIDI modular sheet metal storage system is the ideal solution for storing large quantities of sheet metal and other flat goods. The fast-moving AS/RS and the sophisticated goods stations ensure an efficient material flow to the connected laser cutting systems or picking areas.

Overview Technical Data Variants Integration

Features & Advantages

The MIDI sheet metal storage system is highly customizable. This allows a high degree of freedom in the selection of connected systems.

Perfect integration into local conditions

The modular design of the MIDI sheet metal storage system allows for a high degree of customization. Based on the situation of each individual application, the racks and transfer stations are arranged to suit each customer.

Optimal goods management

You are always aware of your current inventory. With the integrated WMS, all inventory is centrally managed on site at the terminals and via the ERP interface.

Effective use of space

Sheet metal and other heavy and bulky materials can be stored up to 25 m high in a space-saving manner with short access times. Variable storage density allows for maximum space and area utilization.

Significantly reduced labor costs

All material handling processes are automated from goods receipt. This significantly reduces labor costs compared to non-automated warehouse systems.

Safe and fast material handling

The automatic storage and retrieval machine ensures a continuous flow of material between goods stations and storage locations with fast access times. The safety equipment ensures safe operation at all times and protects against material damage.

Integration options

MIDI sheet metal storage systems can be easily connected to sheet metal machines or ERP systems from various manufacturers. It is also possible to change the integrated machines and systems to other manufacturers at a later date.

Versions & Variants

Single row MIDI storage system for sheet metal — MIDI sheet metal storage systems can be designed with one or two rows. The second row can also be planned as a subsequent extension stage.

Single-row / Double-row

MIDI sheet metal storage systems can be designed as single or double row systems. The second row of shelves can be added at a later date. It is also possible to extend the rows of racks in the future. This allows the sheet storage system to grow with your needs.

MIDI Combi

The MIDI-Combi variant combines storage towers for 3015 and 4020 sheet sizes in one row of racks. The AS/RS can move system pallets in the two different formats. For laser cutting centers processing both 4020 and 3015 formats, this means a space saving of more than 30%.

Row of shelves arranged crosswise to the SRM — The MIDI SRM moves between the sheet metal rack and the LaserFLEX Automation

Lengthwise or crosswise arrangement

By arranging the shelves lengthwise or crosswise to the AS/RS, the sheet storage system can be arranged in an oblong or square shape. This makes it easier to integrate into a given space or to optimize the space required for connected machines and delivery stations.

MIDI storage system with variable storage location heights — At the goods transfer station, a height check measures the size of the goods. The control system searches for a suitable storage location. In this way, goods of different sizes can be stored in a space-saving and fully automated manner.

Variable storage heights

With the option of variable bin heights, this storage system is well suited for large-volume goods. Because entire storage levels are moved, both palletized and non-palletized goods can be stored easily. For example, sheet metal packages and palletized metal parts can be organized in one storage system.

Remmert High Bay warehouse — MIDI storage systems can be designed up to a height of 25 meters. This creates maximum storage capacity on the smallest possible footprint.

Highy-bay storage

MIDI storage systems from 4 to 14 meters are offered as standard. However, customized concepts with storage heights up to 25 meters are also possible. Goods stations can also be implemented on different levels.

Two AS/RS in one aisle

For long rows of racks, it may be useful to have two AS/RSs in an aisle to ensure fast shuttle times. In this case, transfer areas are defined where materials are transferred from one AS/RS to the other. In addition, a second AS/RS is an ideal backup solution to ensure uninterrupted material flow.

SILO construction

The MIDI storage system can be designed as a separate building. In this case, the rack structure is statically designed to support the roof and walls. This greatly reduces construction costs.

Integrations

HOST Interface

This module adds a HOST interface to the WMS. The local WMS is integrated into an existing network and exchanges data with the higher-level ERP or MES system via this network. This allows inventory and material master data to be managed centrally. It is also possible to connect to MES for production orders with automated material flows.

Laser Cutting Machines

In combination with LaserFLEX Automation, a modular and manufacturer-independent solution for full automation of laser cutting systems is provided. The high degree of flexibility and adaptability gives the operator great freedom in the selection of suitable laser cutting machines.

Remmert AGV for transporting sheet metal

Automated Guided Vehicles

The Remmert AGV can be a useful addition to a constant and unmanned material flow for transporting sheet metal or cut sheet metal. The AGV can pick up system pallets directly underneath the warehouse and transport them to defined stations outside the warehouse.
