Lavans BV, Vossenbeemd 104 a, 5705 CL Helmond, Netherlands The Hänel Multi-Space® – the efficient all-around solution with maximum storage capacity Two high-speed Hänel 3-axis lift systems serve as the central mat warehouse in the laundry facility Lavans is a family business in the Netherlands specializing in the rental and care of work clothes and floor mops, as well as various types of door mats and runners. At its laundry facility in Helmond, Lavans operates two Hänel Multi-Space® systems for storing cleaned door mats and runners. Both lift units are 19.7 ft /6 m wide and 23.0 ft /7 m high, offering enormous on-site storage capacity in the laundry. The cleaned mats are placed on carts for transport to the access points of the 3-axis lift systems, where the mats are stored prior to delivery to customers. The central location of the storage system ensures short routing within the laundry and thus saves time in the handling process. The Hänel MP 14 N-StandAlone controller, an integrated standard feature, is used for warehouse management. Transparent article management with automatic storage position allocation directly from the MP 14 N controller All mats have item numbers imprinted on them, and this data is recorded in the system. When mats are put into storage, employees enter the item numbers on the touchscreen of the controller. The integrated warehouse management automatically allocates vacant storage positions for the mats and ensures that the appropriate container is brought to the access point. When the mats have been loaded into the lift, the put operation is booked in the system. Items are put into the Hänel Multi-Space® with maximum speed because the extractor moves horizontally and vertically at the same time. The system efficiently stores hundreds of mats within a minimum footprint and protects them from dust and dirt. Thanks to parallel picking at two access points, even huge orders can be processed quickly. The intuitive Hänel MP 14 N-StandAlone controller is known for its outstanding ease of use The vertical lift systems provide enormous storage volume – from floor to ceiling – within a minimum footprint at the laundry Two employees can put or pick in parallel at both access points All rental mats have a unique item number and can thus be allocated to the respective customer batch in the storage system A specific mat can be requested by entering the item number on the controller Simple integration of the Hänel Multi-Space® in the ERP system via FTP Hänel controllers can be integrated in nearly all ERP environments without hassles. To keep operations running smoothly in the future, Lavans plans to have the storage systems linked up to its own ERP system. This will enable pick orders to be sent directly from the ERP system to both Hänel storage systems via FTP server. This kind of integration can be achieved quickly and without replacing any hardware thanks to the flexible interface capabilities of the Hänel MP 14 N controller. Enormous time savings and high storage density, along with outstanding ergonomics and user friendliness, are among the many compelling benefits delivered by the Hänel storage solution at Lavans. The entire inventory in the Multi-Space® is transparently managed using the touchscreen of the Hänel MP 14 N-StandAlone controller The mats are neatly stored and transported to the access points of both systems for retrieval at an ergonomic height "In addition to high levels of satisfaction with existing Hänel storage solutions, it was the innovation of the Multi-Space® and the space savings it delivers that influenced our decision to choose Hänel logistic solutions once again. We are very happy with our 3-axis Hänel storage system." Willy Vlemmings , Production Manager

SMW-AUTOBLOK Spannsysteme GmbH, Wiesentalstraße 28, 88074 Meckenbeuren, Germany 23 Hänel Lean-Lifts® and six Rotomat® storage systems supply the production, machinery, development, and service departments The Hänel intralogistics systems at SMW-AUTOBLOK increase warehouse efficiency throughout the company thanks to the state-of-the-art software integration SMW-AUTOBLOK is a world leader in rotating and stationary clamping technology for workpieces in machining processes. Drawing on its extensive experience and exceptional production technology expertise, the company manufactures innovative clamping systems utilized worldwide in a wide range of industrial sectors. The company has successfully relied on intralogistics solutions from Hänel since 2001. SMW-AUTOBLOK employs a broad range of Hänel lifts throughout the company to ensure optimized processes. Whether in production, service or dispatch, employees everywhere benefit from the systematic storage using Hänel’s Lean-Lift® and Hänel Rotomat® systems. The 29 Hänel systems help SMW-AUTOBLOK to achieve outstanding warehouse organization and space utilization. WMS-controlled lifts for efficient and intelligent warehouse management The viadat warehouse management software plays a central role in optimizing SMW-AUTOBLOK’s warehouse organization as it enables advanced automation combined with precision control of the warehouse processes. Hänel’s high-performance controllers are connected to this central warehouse management system via HostWeb. This enables storage locations, item stocks and order statuses to be called up and controlled at any time via viadat. The connection vastly enhances the warehouse management efficiency as the Hänel systems provide the WMS system with real-time data, enabling accurate inventory management and seamless order fulfillment. Optimized small parts storage Four Hänel l Rotomat® storage systems and six Hänel Lean-Lifts® handle the small parts storage in the central warehouse. The vertical storage in Hänel’s automatic storage systems makes optimum use of the entire height of the hall, saving valuable production space while also providing rapid access to thousands of different small parts. Even large orders can be completed quickly by multiple employees who simultaneously use the ten pick-up points. Optimized paths and parallel work for efficient workflows Employees benefit from the intuitive workflow created by the barcode-supported system with mobile terminals, which also vastly simplifies the otherwise complex warehouse processes. The Hänel storage systems are organized in four groups. The corresponding order is initiated by scanning the barcode on the lift. Once the order has been confirmed on the Hänel MP 12 N control unit, the requested item is automatically moved to the removal point. The scanner display shows information about the storage location and the quantity of the item being removed. Employees can view the removal and confirm it directly on the hand-held scanner. The Hänel storage system optimizes the picking paths. This solution enables numerous orders to be processed efficiently and also saves time. Orders from the viadat WMS system can be processed using either the mobile terminal or the controller Centrally integrating the six Hänel Lean-Lifts® has optimized work paths, reduced access times, and has also considerably increased the storage volume A compartment display on the Hänel Rotomat® storage system indicates the storage locations, allowing rapid and accurate access A combination of Hänel vertical lifts and Hänel carousels ensures efficient order processing with optimum space usage in the warehouse The employees pick small parts from the more than seven-meter-high Hänel Rotomat® storage systems Optimized tool storage for service operations SWM-AUTOBLOK’s service technicians utilize a wide range of tools for repair and maintenance work. When particular equipment is required for specific machines, the employees can immediately retrieve a wide range of special tools and aids from four Hänel Lean-Lifts®. The extensive range of tools is stored in Hänel’s customizable multifunctional containers, ensuring both clear organization together with quick and effortless access. These four Hänel vertical lifts also temporarily store customers’ clamping devices awaiting inspection or repair. Employees use a swing crane when storing the sometimes very heavy and large clamping devices. To ensure optimum handling, Hänel’s multifunctional container is pulled directly out of the removal point and onto the Hänel transport trolley, where the stored goods can then be safely loaded by crane. Storing the delicate customer products in the Hänel Lean-Lift® not only provides optimum protection against damage but also ensures controlled access to this delicate equipment. Expanded storage volume for specialized applications Another production section is located in the immediate vicinity of the main warehouse. A seven-meter-high Hänel Lean-Lift® serves as the central tool storage here. This single lift solution achieves a minimized footprint of less than 53.82 square feet / five square meters as storage for customer- specific tools for finally adjusting the clamping devices in the surrounding machines. In addition, production employees can also request material directly via the Hänel MP 12 N controller, even without a prior order. Reliable spare parts supply for the entire machine park Over the years, SMW-AUTOBLOK has worked with Hänel’s specialists to implement storage concepts addressing a wide variety of requirements. One key focus has been on safeguarding the reliable supply of spare parts for the entire machine park. Two Hänel Rotomat® storage lifts and two Hänel Lean-Lifts® were installed in the special production department for precisely this purpose. This storage solution also follows the established Hänel principle of short distances and easy access to large quantities of systematically and securely organized goods. By integrating Hänel’s versatile lift solutions, SMW-AUTOBLOK has extensively optimized its warehousing processes throughout the company. The intralogistics solutions installed in close cooperation with Hänel’s experts not only fulfill today’s needs but are also optimally prepared to handle the challenges that the future holds. The assembly department can also request material directly via the Hänel MP 12 N controller without an order A Hänel Lean-Lift® supplies the workstations and surrounding machines in the assembly department with tools and accessories from a central location Two further Hänel Rotomat® storage systems and two Hänel Lean-Lifts® are used for equipment storage Even the heaviest tools for the adjacent machinery can be removed ergonomically and effortlessly The approximately 22.97 feet high / seven-meter-high Hänel Lean-Lift® takes up less than five square meters and contains a vast range of customized tools for finely adjusting the clamping devices The Hänel multifunctional containers can be pulled out of the Lean-Lift® and loaded onto the transport trolley using a swing crane, ensuring safe and ergonomic access to the heavy equipment "Our many years of experience with Hänel clearly show the advantages: The optimum integration into our existing automated storage system combined with considerably improved storage economy and outstanding system reliability makes Hänel the perfect partner."
