New central store and distribution
centre for automotive spares
SBS, one of Europe’s leading providers of brake components for
cars and motorcycles, opened their newly-built central store and
distribution centre in Stoevring, Denmark, on 1st February 2007.
The 4,000 m˛ DC handles supplies for the Scandinavian market.
The central store will distribute some 22,000 products, of which
over 8,000 are fast moving items. As 50% of the daily picking rate
came from the fast moving items, SBS wanted a system that would be
future-proof through automation, and so opted for a miniload store
from Univeyor. |

The miniload store consists of a miniload crane, a
store with 8,000 storage cases and two newly developed pick
stations. The storage cases can be divided into 4 compartments and
can therefore hold up to 4 different products, dependent on the
size and nature of the product. The number of the storage
locations is between 8,000 and 32,000 - and can easily be expanded
in the future. |

Plant Manager Tage Soeborg of SBS says: ”As a
supplier to the automotive industry,
SBS is accustomed to high demand on our products – not only the
goods themselves, but also the quality of the handling and delivery
service as a whole.
Quite simply, there is no room for error or goods not being
delivered on time. It was of utmost importance to us to optimize our
storage- and picking systems and processes. We believe that
Univeyor’s miniload store and picking system solve this in the best
way possible.” |
