AR Racking S.A.U.

Miniload is a warehouse automation system based on metal shelving elements for picking designed so that the load is automatically handled by stacker cranes. They are therefore created to optimise inventory management and facilitate the efficient retrieval of stored products or materials. The use of stacker cranes also minimises waiting times and improves goods handling precision.
Stacker cranes collect cartons from their location and present them at the order picking location or deliver them directly to the order preparation conveyor.
This type of automatic stacker crane also transports the cartons to the corresponding worker, and when he/she finishes his work, he/she returns them to the shelves, placing the cartons on angular gantries screwed to the side of the upright, allowing the stacker crane platform to be placed under the load for removal.

Mini-load Automated System

How does it work?

<ul class="caracteristicas">
<li>Product-man system in which the operator does not move.</li>
<li>Optimisation of warehouse space, both in height and width.</li>
<li>Increased productivity and efficiency. Reducing the margin of error by eliminating human errors, automating the inflow and outflow of goods, maintaining constant inventory control and having the ability to operate uninterrupted, results in increased productivity.</li>
<li>Cost savings. Reducing the time required to carry out logistics processes, together with improvements in productivity and extending the useful life of the structure, will also result in lower costs.</li>
<li>Time saving. By eliminating the need for operator displacement, the time spent in the order preparation process is significantly reduced, thus improving the customer experience.</li>
<li>Space saving. Miniload systems can significantly increase available warehouse space. This space is therefore better used, since a height of up to 30 metres can be reached.</li>
<li>Flexibility to combine and adjust to other storage systems, with the possibility of adding picking levels or adapting to different temperatures.</li>
<li>Minimises load handling errors.</li>
<li>Allows a daily and perpetual inventory of stored products, providing information in real time. It has computer software that records all stored items and <a href="https://www.ar-racking.com/gb/blog/know-your-stock-in-real-time-with-perpetual-inventory-your-stock-will-no-longer-hold-secrets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">manages inventory in real time.</a></li>
<li>Security. Workers do not have to move through the warehouse aisles, thus avoiding possible accidents resulting from falling goods or being run over.</li>
<li>It guarantees the ideal preservation of the product thanks to the installation of <a href="https://www.ar-racking.com/gb/blog/pallet-racking-systems-for-cold-stores-and-freezing-chambers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cold stores or freezing chambers</a> ensuring a controlled temperature inside the warehouse.</li>

Miniload systems are characterised by their compact and high-density design, which means they can make the most of the space and height available in the warehouse due to the reduction of work aisles. This is especially useful when trying to optimise storage in facilities with limited space.
Miniload systems are therefore ideal for storing a large number of products. They use racking and storage trays designed to maximize height space, enabling a large volume of products to be stored in a small area. It is therefore possible to manage a wide <a href="https://www.ar-racking.com/gb/blog/sku-in-logistics-what-it-is-applications-and-importance-in-the-warehouse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">variety of SKU</a> and adapt to different shapes and sizes of loads, aiding inventory management and product handling.
They also guarantee the assurance and preservation of products that need to be stored in cold and frozen environments, controlling the warehouse temperature.
