A fully automated film warehouse – we are currently working on this exciting project. In film logistics, the routes between the storage location of the rolls and the rewinder (and back) represent a significant time factor – pick-up and delivery times that do not directly add value. Furthermore, manual roll handling is exhausting and prone to errors. In order to automate the pick-up and delivery process, NEPATA has developed an automatic storage system for roll media. How it works:

The rolls are stored extremely compactly in a block storage warehouse – vertically and sorted by diameter.

A robotic arm grabs the required rolls individually from above and brings them to a transfer point.

All rolls belonging to an order are combined on a commissioning trolley.

Accordingly, the subsequent storage of partially used rolls follows – despite chaotic storage space selection. High-speed vehicles are placed in such a way that travel paths are reduced.
