More space, more speed, more power.
Premiere for the PowerCube at Schönenberger in Switzerland
Jungheinrich is building the first PowerCube for electrical and lighting expert Schönenberger on just 400 m2: 11 metres high, with 18,000 storage locations, 8 shuttles and an output of up to 150 picks per hour. If required, this performance can easily be boosted by adding further shuttles.
Challenges
- Planning and realisation of the first Jungheinrich PowerCube in a very limited space
- Lack of capacity in the existing warehouse and the operation of additional warehouses is too cost-intensive
- Airtight construction of the PowerCube to comply with the strict fire protection requirements
- Simplification of logistics processes due to the liquidation of the external warehouse
Solutions
- PowerCube with 18,000 storage locations and 8 shuttles for increased performance and throughput
- Energy-efficient shuttles for transporting two containers each with a payload up to 50 kg per container
- Fulfilment of complex fire protection requirements thanks to built-in sensors for smoke detection
- Fully automatic buffer section with conveyor technology for container transport to the PowerCube
- WMS for controlling the movement of goods, as well as service and support from Jungheinrich
Successes
- Optimum utilisation of space thanks to the PowerCube's design with a height of 11 metres
- High productivity with up to 150 picks per hour, which can be further enhanced with additional shuttles
- PowerCube enables customised in-house logistics without the need for external warehouses
- Successful collaboration and rapid realisation in a construction period of just 4 months
- Building the first PowerCube as a valuable learning experience for everyone involved in the project
