 Where
massive storage of components, parts, tools, or spares is needed,
the SILO is the solution.
A compact, high density storage solution, the SILO
is based upon two parallel racking structures that can be up to 10 metres high.
The racks of the SILO are loaded with trays
or drawers, adapted to fit the desired contents (with general purpose or bespoke
dividers, slots, bins boxes…). The SILO
offers a capacity that is quite substantial, to be measured often in hundreds of
cubic metres. By making full use of available height, this solution makes much more
efficient use of floor areas than traditional shelving systems.
 The
SILO is a robotic filing solution : a carriage
on board a crane runs down the central corridor and retrieves the requested drawer
and brings it to a workstation (there may be several). Picking thus is made much
more efficient, and the number of operators required to do a given number of picks
(or loads) a day is substantially lessened.
The SILO is a computerised solution:
hence errors, missing items, and other incidents are sharply curtailed, and traceability
of transactions can be made integral. This improves quality and productivity of
warehousing or order preparation services.
 The
SILO is a securitised, environment-controlled
solution: as imposed by a specification to be agreed upon with the user, it
is possible to include humidity and temperature control, and obviously also a system
to make storage fireproof.
