Material Handling System Developments
Installed Japan's First AS/RS "Rackbuil"
In 1966, Daifuku delivered Japan's first AS/RS rack-supported building to Panasonic. The acceptance of automated storage lead to the integration of automation within production lines, thus changing concept of a warehouse entirely. Today, with a range of models and throughput options, many industries incorporate AS/RS.
Developed the Maximum Throughput AS/RS – The DUOSYS
Daifuku's DUOSYS is a super-fast mini load AS/RS equipped with tuning control technology that ensures two stacker cranes functioning in the same aisle move past each other without interference to perform storage and retrieval operations. This equipment was introduced during LOGIS-TECH TOKYO 2008. The DUOSYS is laid out in two levels so that four stacker cranes operate simultaneously on the same rack to produce a maximum storage and retrieval throughput of up to 2,200 cases per hour.
