LeanStore™
This system is ideal for mid-sized, mid-weight and heavy weight components varying in shape, size and weight.
The system offers higher flexibility to accommodate a variety of items to be stored. The pitch between two trays can be variable, allowing storage of items with variable dimensions. In this system, trays are stationary while the retrieving mechanism is moving. This also increases load capacity per shelf (up to 1MT per tray). The PLC-controlled platform known as retriever is similar to a lift, moves up and down to locate a particular tray while storing/retrieving the material. The desired tray is brought to the operating window located at the ergonomic level for easy loading or unloading of material. The system is very easy to operate and maintain and allows full utilization of the available height.
LeanStore™ Constructional Features
- The system is completely enclosed using sheet metal cladding and has one operating window at ergonomic level
- The operating window is lockable using electro-mechanical mechanism. Additional sensors provide higher safety to the operator as well as operating system
The system is constructed using precision fabricated pipes, channels and sheet metal and can be customised to suit the customer’s requirements
Retrieving mechanism or platform is fitted to vertical chain loops at four corners of the platform, which give upward and downward motion to the platform
- Ideal for mid-sized, mid-weight and heavy weight components varying in shape, size and weight

Controller
Advanced PLC controller with HMI for numeric display
Quick material retrieval using the shelf number or even the part number
The system rotates in clockwise or anticlockwise direction to select the shortest possible path
- Can be interfaced with computer and provision of RS232C serial port
Advantages
Quick Retrieval of Material
The system is faster as compared to the vertical carousel. In this system, only the retriever is moving and not all the trays, ensuring faster retrieval.
Space Saving
Utilizes complete height and saves horizontal space up to 80%.
Smooth Operation
The system ensures jerk-free movement even at the start-stop operations due to VFD (Variable Frequency Drive), avoiding damage to the stored material. Special technology for smooth engagement/ disengagement of moving parts ensures noise level well below 70 db.
Optimum Storage Capacity
This system allows larger tray dimensions compared to vertical carousel and also varying pitch is possible, allowing storage of material of different shapes and sizes in the same system.
Higher Load Capacity
Shelves are stationary and can be designed for 1MT load capacity (per shelf).
Safety of Material
Totally enclosed system, avoids damage to material from external influences and protects material from theft.
Manpower Saving
High degree of automation reduces manpower requirement.
Effective Inventory Control
Material can be accessed only after entering the part number and quantity, in turn ensuring timely update of record. This allows precise inventory control.
User Friendly System
Very easy to operate and maintain after a brief training.
Smooth Operation
Only the retriever is moving up and down with the help of a chain and sprocket mechanism, thus ensuring very low noise and jerk-free material handling.
Operator Safety
The bundled software ensures all parts, documents can be retrieved at the click of a mouse from anywhere. Easy interfacing functionality of our software with existing systems makes the systems really integrated.
