Gravity Flow

Westfalia’s ability to link 100% of reserve storage to the individual selection face reduces double handling often found in classic Single-deep and Double-deep systems. This directly reduces your labor costs, which gives you the ability to pass the savings on to your customers.

Profile Check

If the load does not fulfill the envelope specifications of the AS/RS (height and/or width) the load will be rejected. The operator can accommodate the load and retry the load infeed again. A well designed system should minimize the percentage of rejections, however a profile check should always be included to cover all the scenarios and protect the material handling equipment.
