Automatic Sheet Metal Storage & Retrieval System (AS/RS) – Automated Loading Unloading Racks
The core of this system is its automated storage and retrieval functionality, powered by high-precision robotic arms and an AGV transfer system. This combination enables fully autonomous operation, with no manual handling required. The robotic arms can accurately pick and place sheet metal materials, while the AGV transfer system moves materials between the warehouse and the production line. With a single material retrieval time of ≤ 10 seconds, the system ensures that production is not delayed by slow material handling. This automation also reduces the risk of human error, which can lead to damaged materials, inventory discrepancies, and production delays.
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, streamlining production workflows is essential for staying competitive. The Automatic Sheet Metal Storage & Retrieval System (AS/RS) with Automated Loading Unloading Racks is designed to do just that—by integrating fully automated storage, retrieval, loading, and unloading into a single, seamless system. This advanced AS/RS solution eliminates bottlenecks in the sheet metal management process, improves efficiency, and ensures that materials are always available when and where they are needed.

The Automated Loading Unloading Racks are designed for maximum efficiency and durability. The racks feature a linear guide rail + chain movement system and chain drive transmission, which provide smooth and reliable operation. The vertical lifting speed is 9m/min, and the inlet and outlet speed is 12m/min, ensuring fast and efficient loading and unloading. The racks can accommodate sheet metal sizes from 3015mm to 6025mm, with 8-13 standard layers (customizable) and a load-bearing capacity of 3T/5T per layer (up to 6T per shelf with customization). This versatility makes the system suitable for a wide range of sheet metal materials, from thin sheets to heavy plates.
Space utilization is a major advantage of this AS/RS system. Its three-dimensional storage design increases material storage capacity by 200% under the same factory area, allowing businesses to store more materials without expanding their facility. This is particularly beneficial for factories with limited floor space, as it helps to maximize the use of available space. The system’s compact design also makes it easy to integrate into existing factory layouts, minimizing disruption to ongoing operations.
Precise inventory management is another key feature of the Automatic Sheet Metal Storage & Retrieval System. Equipped with an intelligent WMS warehouse management system, it supports real-time inventory queries, batch traceability, and expiration warnings. The scan-in + automatic positioning feature ensures 100% accuracy, eliminating errors and omissions. The system can be connected to ERP systems, integrating production, warehousing, and logistics data. This integration enables managers to make informed decisions about inventory levels, production scheduling, and logistics, improving overall operational efficiency.
The one-item, one-code management system, powered by RFID tags, provides full traceability of each sheet metal material. Every step from storage to retrieval to production is recorded, making it easy to track the movement of materials and ensure quality control. Real-time monitoring of material quantities through IoT sensors triggers automatic replenishment or clearance warnings, ensuring that stock levels are always optimal. This proactive inventory management leads to a 60% increase in inventory turnover rate, reducing the amount of capital tied up in excess stock.
Seamless integration with laser cutting machines is a critical feature for manufacturing facilities. The system’s automated loading and unloading racks connect directly to laser cutting machines, eliminating the need for manual transfer of materials. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of damage to materials during handling. The optional plate support feature allows for further customization, ensuring that the system can accommodate the specific needs of different laser cutting processes.
Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction sets us apart. The Automatic Sheet Metal Storage & Retrieval System undergoes rigorous quality control, with each component inspected by our dedicated quality inspection team. We use finite element stress analysis to ensure the structural integrity of the racks, and keep detailed testing records for each batch. We also offer free design drawings, on-site installation, and exclusive one-on-one after-sales service to ensure that the system meets your specific needs and operates smoothly.
In summary, the Automatic Sheet Metal Storage & Retrieval System (AS/RS) with Automated Loading Unloading Racks is a comprehensive solution for streamlining sheet metal management processes. Its advanced automation, high efficiency, space-saving design, and precise inventory management make it an essential tool for modern manufacturing facilities looking to improve productivity, reduce costs, and stay ahead of the competition.
