11 1 1 Saarstahl AG manufactures wire rod in various material qualities, including as-rolled, thermo-mechanically rolled, annealed and tempered 2 The required materials are provided for shipment from the high-bay warehouse on request 3 Delivery takes place directly from the automatic stacker crane to the forklifts at a common transfer position for loading trucks SAARSTAHL AG, GERMANY Vollert installed a new fully automatic high-bay warehouse for up to 665 steel wire coils at Saarstahl AG's plant in Neunkirchen. This re- placed a former open-air storage area. It is 58 m long, 28 m high and can accommodate wire coils with a total weight of about 3,000 t on 12 levels. Depending on the dimensions, the coils can vary in diameter up to a maximum of 1.5 m. In addition to the high cycle time of only 190 s per double cycle, Vollert's engineers also pro- vided the solution for delivery of the coils, which weigh up to 4.5 t, directly from the stacker crane to the forklifts for truck loading. This inter- face between automatic and manual transport is demanding as inaccuracies during manual handling must be taken into account. This safety problem was solved by a combination of me- chanical barriers with optical sensors and signal transmitters.
