GEBHARDT Versastore®

Innovation for the Smart Factory

The GEBHARDT Versastore^® is an innovative solution that transforms traditional storage methods of unit loads, semi-finished products, and other workpieces. Unlike conventional systems with fixed storage heights, the Versastore^® adjusts dynamically to match the height of each specific load.

This flexible adjustment maximises available space and allows for particularly compact and space-efficient storage. The shelves are organised in a high-density, block-storage-like structure, enabling direct access to workstations located within the warehouse or production area.

The Versastore^® bots can easily operate trays from above, providing greater flexibility. This adaptability opens up a wide range of potential applications and enhances efficiency in both the warehouse and connected production and conveyor systems.

GEBHARDT Versastore® Features

Direct processing of workpieces - more efficiency in the production process

What distinguishes the GEBHARDT Versastore^®from conventional solutions is its unique ability to process workpieces directly on the tray. This feature saves valuable time and ensures that the workpieces remain securely positioned on the tray. This especially benefits automated production processes, where precision and continuous workflow are essential. In contrast to traditional systems, which often require repositioning, the Versastore^®eliminates this step. This not only simplifies handling but also reduces production times.

Versatile Applications in Storage and Production

The GEBHARDT Versastore^® system offers a diverse range of applications that extend beyond traditional storage methods. It is especially beneficial in production lines, where seamless integration between storage and processing is essential. Workpieces can be placed directly on the trays and undergo automated processing without the need for additional repositioning. This direct link to production systems enhances efficiency and minimises unnecessary steps in the workflow.

Another significant advantage of the Versastore^® system is its high degree of flexibility in storing and processing workpieces. The trays can be adapted to suit various loads, allowing workpieces to be positioned accurately and securely. This precision is crucial for industries that depend on meticulous manufacturing processes. Furthermore, the efficient use of available space greatly reduces the overall space requirements.

Technical Excellence for Maximum Efficiency

The GEBHARDT Versastore^® stands out for its flexibility, versatility, and impressive technical performance. With speeds of up to 3.1 m/s and a high throughput rate, this system is perfectly designed for fast-moving automated processes. Its modular design allows for customisation to meet a company's specific needs. The system's integration with automated guided vehicle systems (AGVs) and its direct connection to production systems significantly enhance the overall workflow.

Speed of up to 3.1 m/s
Payload of up to 50 kg
Workpiece size up to 550 x 350 x 400 mm
Space utilisation up to 10m height

Smart Control for Warehouse and Material Flow

The GEBHARDT Versastore^® is managed by advanced Warehouse Execution Software (WES), which effectively oversees all logistics units. It features standardised interfaces that allow easy integration with warehouse management systems (WMS) and manufacturing execution systems (MES), ensuring compatibility with existing IT infrastructures. Artificial intelligence optimises transport routes to minimise travel distances and enhance material flow. Additionally, the software fine-tunes the height grid to maximise storage density and efficiently use available space.

Optimal Solutions for Demanding Industries

The GEBHARDT Versastore® is specifically designed for companies in challenging industries. These industries often face the dual challenge of automating production processes while efficiently managing the storage and transport of workpieces. The GEBHARDT Versastore® offers a solution that integrates these needs, optimising the entire process chain from the warehouse to production. As a result, Versastore® supports flexible and scalable production concepts suitable for batch sizes of one.
