Storage Machines and WMS

Lift Systems (TORNADO)

Automatic Storage Machines are computer-controlled storage and transfer systems that can significantly improve the efficiency of product storage and picking.

These machines are easy to integrate with a Company’s existing Warehouse Management System (WMS), but they can also be used as a standalone system. The site and operating environment determines the system's size and composition.

An automatic storage system can save up to 70% on floor space, reduce picking errors by 70% and decrease picking time by more than 60%. The most efficient way of using storage machines is to have article management included with the machine. TC2000 article management software is especially developed for Tornado, Paternoster and HOCA and it can be included as standard to all our machines.

Lift Machines - TORNADO

Thanks to its ingenious lifting device, the servo-operated Tornado automated storage system is rapid, energy-efficient and silent. It is easy to tailor to each customer’s needs. Tornados are the perfect solution for storing and handling the small items in your warehouse or shop.

Tornado offers safe and secure storage for your small part handling. The system's intelligent engine attempts to place active trays close to the retrieval point. This makes the Tornado system especially useful for seasonal products. Tornado has password-protected access levels for added security.

The Tornado's speed both horizontally and vertically offers rapid storage and retrieval. The clear and straightforward structure makes the system extremely reliable and therefore cheap to maintain.

Picking from a Tornado could not be easier. The operator enters a product code, either manually, using a bar-code reader or from a higher-level system. The Tornado then retrieves the required tray and brings it to the operator at the optimum height so the item can be picked.
