Vertical Raw Material Storage Automated ASRS

Engineered through the technical alliance of Ronia and Excitech, the Vertical Raw Material Storage System represents an advanced automated storage and retrieval solution (ASRS) designed to seamlessly integrate raw board logistics with downstream machining cells in modern furniture and panel manufacturing plants. By exploiting vertical building heights, this high-density storage infrastructure eliminates traditional warehouse clutter while preserving critical shop-floor space for value-added production operations.

Operating in direct synchronization with ERP and nesting optimization software, the system dynamically manages raw panel stacks and palletized boards based on live manufacturing orders. The automated vertical crane and high-speed telescopic extraction mechanism locate, retrieve, and feed requested panels onto machine infeed conveyors within seconds. Featuring intuitive visual management software, warehouse supervisors gain real-time transparency over inventory levels, board decors, batch statuses, and stock turnover metrics. To accommodate varying industrial layouts and capacity demands, the system is engineered in flexible length configurations of 12, 18, 24, and 30 meters.

The core strength of the system lies in its ability to execute rapid, on-the-fly stock switching between disparate panel batches, flawlessly matching strict production pacing requirements. By eliminating manual forklift handling, the installation protects sensitive board surfaces from impact damage, edge chipping, and moisture absorption while completely eradicating material picking errors. The Ronia & Excitech vertical storage solution empowers furniture manufacturers to transition smoothly into intelligent, lights-out smart factories with maximized operational uptime and lean inventory control.
