Efficient picking has become an issue as the variety of part types to be used for production increases. Recently, there is a growing need for automatic part warehouses that can quickly and accurately check out the parts required for production.
sTower ll can manage parts in various supply packaging and even parts in groups. Linking multiple towers is also possible depending on your intended purpose and installation space. This unit has the versatility to become your ideal automatic part storage system.
Reduces part picking work and eliminates work mistakes
1/3 or less time taken for picking work - Unlike conventional shelf management, physically searching for parts is no longer required, leading to a significant reduction in part picking work.
Eliminate picking mistakes - Only the specified reel parts are checked out, thus picking mistakes do not occur.
No need to read barcodes - Part IDs are automatically read when parts are placed into the terminal, eliminating manual work for reading barcodes.

Smart management
By linking to the integrated production system, Nexim, it is possible to automatically check out parts based on production schedules and parts out warnings. Checking out parts in a timely manner can reduce the amount of downtime due to waiting for parts. PDA terminals can be also used for checking out.
The remaining quantity of parts to be collected and checked back in is acquired from the production line and is managed by the system. Linking to the reel counter enables accurate management of remaining part quantities.
Older parts are given priority when checked out, which prevents prolonged storage of parts. It is also possible to give priority to checking out reels with the smallest quantity of remaining parts.
The dry component function is equipped and parts sensitive to humidity can be managed appropriately. Increases in the humidity during checking in/out are kept to a minimum by the double-door configuration. When sTower II is linked to the integrated production system, Nexim, the floor life of parts can be managed.
Multiple towers can be linked to be used as one unit, allowing for easy system inventory management without needing to worry about which tower the parts are stored in.
