Storage solutions are a key element in the wood plates processing industry. Below is a description of an optimised production process of our customers. The description illustrates and highlights the importance and benefits of modern storage solutions in the wood processing industry.

Modern technology allows a fully automated and controlled operation of entire production processes.
Material delivery,
loading of storage cassettes
At the beginning of the production process stands the delivery of wood plates of varying formats. The raw material is then loaded into the cassettes at the input stations of the storage solution.
Input

FMG wood storage solutions - Input & output stations
After loading the storage cassette, the entire cassette is weighed. The operation system of the storage solution calculates the amount of sheet-metal plates in the cassette and sends the result to the warehouse management system. The loading process is concluded by storing the storage cassettes at the appropriate positions in the storage solution.
Output &
Production / Processing

FMG wood storage solutions - Fully automated charging device
After a customer orders products, the required quantity of wood plates is calculated and it is assured that an appropriate stock of plates is available to execute the order. Production tasks are then assigned to the operating personnel and the material is transported to the required output stations.

The wood plates are then either accessed by a vacuum-operated handling device which charges processing machines, or the content of the storage cassettes is accessed manually.

The changed stock of plates is automatically detected by the warehouse management system and transmitted to IT-systems for production planning and control as well as enterprise resource planning software. Finally the storage cassettes are moved back to their positions.
Production and storage of finished goods and residual material The processing machines carry out the processing of the wood plates.

The possibility of reinserting finished goods in the storage solutions creates a closed and fully automated production process. This allows running the entire production infrastructure at the evening and during the night. The better use of the machinery and lower average production costs lead to efficiency of production and competitiveness at the market.

The production process can be programmed to assign a number to every produced piece of work. The finished goods are stored in the storage solution and registered in the warehouse management system.

Residual material is also moved back to the storage solution and registered in the warehouse management system. A few storage cassettes can be filled with residual material, contributing to an efficient overall use of the storage solution and material.
Delivery of finished goods Produced goods can finally be taken from the output stations and delivered to the customer.
