New automated warehouse for WEBER Schraubautomaten

09/04/2025 News

SMB International has integrated a highly automated warehouse with 260 pallet spaces into an existing, space-limited storage environment for WEBER Schraubautomaten GmbH.

Thanks to precise planning and technology optimally tailored to the conditions, a system has been created that delivers maximum performance in a limited space. The automatic pallet warehouse impresses with a sophisticated combination of a compact two-mast stacker crane with intelligent PLC control, powerful warehouse management software, and wireless 48V pallet shuttles.

The result: maximum efficiency in a minimum of space, high process reliability, and a future-proof material flow – without any compromises.

Automation as an efficiency driver

WEBER is securing significant competitive advantages with its new intralogistics solution. The automated system shortens throughput times, sustainably reduces operating costs and integrates seamlessly into existing system landscapes. The smooth transition to ongoing operations strengthens logistics processes - efficiently, reliably and future-proof.

Wireless networking: shuttle technology in use

The central component of the solution is the CapTriever Shuttle, which ensures a continuous and efficient material flow in the warehouse. Equipped with WLAN control and a synchronous servomotor from SEW-EURODRIVE, the shuttle does not require a physical cable connection to the higher-level "truck".

In close cooperation with our long-standing partner SEW, we have further developed the SMB pallet shuttle system to be wireless and battery-free, and have successfully implemented it at WEBER.

New key component for the automated picking warehouse

In combination with the CAPtriever shuttle, the double-mast SRM offers the optimum solution for smaller automated warehouses with lower capacity, with only the most necessary conveyors and safety technology.

In accordance with the Model Industrial Building Directive (MIndBauRL), no automatic fire extinguishing system is required for storage heights of up to 7.5 meters, provided there is sufficient open space. 150 to approx. 2,000 storage spaces are realistic.

Servo technology improves material flow and plant efficiency

The installed synchronous servomotors from SEW-EURODRIVE make a decisive contribution to the performance of the new system. Their precise servodynamics enable fast response times, exact positioning and reliable continuous operation - even under demanding conditions.

Thanks to their modularity and scalability, the components can be optimally adapted to individual requirements.

With the fully automated intralogistics solution from SMB International, we are sustainably increasing the efficiency of our production and storage processes. This gives us a clear competitive advantage!
