The Night Train FMS automatic storage solution from Prima Power provides fabricators and manufacturers the utmost in automated operations. With a low-profile crane and rack structure housed within a small footprint, users experience excellent storage capacity even when available floor space is limited. It can serve as material storage as well as a buffer warehouse for machined parts.
With flexibility and productivity at its backbone, the automated storage system features intelligent and dynamic management of the drawer position to guarantee optimal service time for the connected machines and cells. Designed with ease of use in mind, the system’s software receives material and part orders from the fabricating cells connected to it, automatically selecting the needed cassette and delivering it to the cell.
