Overview
Renowned for its high-density pallet storage, rapid operation, and adaptability, Daifuku’s Unit Load Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) is a versatile automated pallet storage and retrieval solution customizable to specific installation environments and operational requirements, supporting system heights up to 40 meters.

Features

• Fast and Dependable - Variety of AS/RS stacker crane types to match load profiles, weight, building dimensions, and operating environments; high-quality drives for fast, smooth, and reliable performance.
• Advanced Control System - Local intelligent network control provides integrated front-end controls to full-scale inventory management; software monitors stacker cranes and peripheral load-handling systems in real time to aid troubleshooting and manage auxiliary equipment.
• Improved Operational Efficiency - High-speed stacker cranes automatically store and retrieve loads to reduce cycle times and minimize forklift traffic; energy-efficient operations include power regeneration and low electricity consumption.

Load Handling
From industrial pallets to odd-shaped loads, the Daifuku stacker crane can handle a wide array of items.

• Closed pallets - Pallets with a closed bottom surface (examples: JIS T11, UK pallet sizes).
• Euro pallets - Standard European/Asian pallet sizes (e.g., 800 x 1,200 and 1,000 x 1,200).
• Box pallets - Four-legged box pallets commonly used for storing machine parts (handling dependent on shape of box feet).
• Roll-shaped loads - Paper rolls, film sheets, textile rolls, carpets, etc.
• Long objects - High-density storage of long pipes, bars, and plates up to 6.2 m long.
• In-progress car bodies - Buffer storage and handling for painted car bodies at automotive plants.

Special Environments
Daifuku offers models tailored to diverse installation environments and item characteristics; systems are proven in various specialized environments.

• Fresh and frozen environments - Cold-resistant stacker cranes designed for conditions from -5°C to -30°C.
• Cleanroom environments - Cleanroom-capable systems meeting ISO Class 6–7 requirements for food, pharmaceutical, and precision equipment manufacturers.
• Oily and dusty environments (FMS) - Specially designed, highly accurate stacker cranes for 24-hour automatic supply and collection of jigs in machining centers, ensuring precise and stable operation in oily/dusty conditions.
• High-temperature environments - Specifications available for elevated temperatures (approx. 40–55°C) for processes such as chemical product aging.
• Oil-resistant specifications - For installations around machine tools and similar environments.

Configuration
Multiple AS/RS aisle and crane configurations are available to match throughput and density needs.

• Single-deep AS/RS - Standard configuration: one stacker crane accesses two rack rows (one on each side).
• Double-deep AS/RS - One stacker crane accesses four rack rows (two on each side) for higher density with lower to medium throughput.
• Dual crane AS/RS - Two stacker cranes operate simultaneously in the same aisle to maximize throughput capacity and provide resiliency.
• Earthquake countermeasures - Additional stoppers, special racking, and other countermeasures to minimize earthquake damage.

Add-ons
Optional peripheral equipment and enhancements to integrate and automate material flow.

• Shuttle Cart - Electrically powered cart transports pallets to/from the stacker crane loading/unloading point.
• End-of-aisle conveyors - Conveyors transport pallets automatically to/from load and unload stations and can interface with STVs.
• Rack-side conveyor - Input/output conveyor placed beside AS/RS for streamlined supply to processing machines.
• Sorting Transfer Vehicle (STV) - Rail-guided vehicle system that transports and sorts pallets, connecting AS/RS aisles to conveyors.
• Case picking robot - Automation for palletizing and depalletizing case goods before/after the AS/RS to support end-to-end processes.
• Rack-side pick-to-light - Using rack sides as picking windows with sliding shutters to ensure operator safety while preventing stacker crane access when open.
