Valve storage at a water pumping station When a water pipe bursts every minute counts To allow quick repairs to be carried out on the pipeline network operated by Lake Constance Water Supply, the manual warehousing system used at the pumping station at Süßenmühle near Sipplingen and at the Stuttgart site has been thoroughly modernized. State-of-the-art Hänel Lean-Lift systems create far more space with their height-optimized vertical storage of spare parts. Integrated storage management makes the warehouse easier to organize, and controlled access to the stored parts increases security when items are retrieved. The Lake Constance Water Supply facilities are managed by seven regional offices. With a water pipe network around 1,700 km in length, more than 3,000 inspection shafts, a number of pumping stations and 14 energy recovery systems, they are the largest non-profit water supplier in Germany. Optimum warehousing with the latest storage technology If the complex water supply systems are to be efficiently maintained and repaired, quick provision of spare parts is essential. Otto Staib, Head of Distribution at the Lake Constance Water Supply Competence Center, emphasizes: “When a shut-off component in a shaft needs to be repaired, work must be carried out swiftly as our water supply systems are not allowed to run dry. If a spare part lined up for the repair job is missing, the consequences could be fatal.” So the new warehouse building at the Süßenmühle pumping station was equipped with state-of-the-art storage technology. Because of the problematic subsurface directly by the lake, however, the floor area had to be limited to 700 m2. Pipes are stored in a compact mobile racking system, long goods in cantilever racking and heavy pallets in the high-bay racks. Christian Grüner, Head of Machine Technology says, “With the manual mobile retrieval device we can reach every point in the warehouse and achieve smooth interaction between all the storage elements.” Two Lean-Lift vertical storage units from Hänel were purchased for smaller components such as shut-off valves, water pumps, fittings and cables. The height-optimized storage concept allows the lifts to make full use of the storage volume and create more space. Rapid retrieval is ensured by grouping parts together in assembly units on the containers. The electrical spares are stored in the Hänel Lean-Lift in front of the electrical systems workshop, and mechanical components in another vertical lift in front of the mechanical systems workshop. An additional access point at the rear of each storage unit enables parts to be retrieved quickly by both workshops. Pallets holding bulky pumps are placed on a container on the dockable transport cart by means of the retrieval device. The practical sliding mechanism enables items to be placed in the lift effortlessly and ergonomically. Moreover, the high-speed doors on the storage units protect the electronic components, fittings, seals, shut-down valves and tools from light, dust and contamination. Controlled access improves security Users log in at the Lean-Lift control unit with their company ID cards which are RFID-tagged. “Access is software-controlled: different access rights are allocated, especially for containers holding valuable tools and special machinery for piped water pumps. This specific requirement for our pumping station was implemented by Hänel without any problem,” says a satisfied Christian Grüner. The dockable transport cart can be used to place pallets with heavy-duty pumps on the containers and put them in the Lean-Lift effortlessly with the practical sliding mechanism. With two access points positioned one above the other in the basement and on the first floor, the Hänel Lean-Lift can also function as an elevator for heavy pallets. Some 1,700 kilometers of mostly wide-diameter pipes supply drinking water from Lake Constance to the northernmost part of Baden-Württemberg state. The Lake Constance Water Supply Association is the largest non-profit water supplier in Germany The two Lean-Lifts from Hänel provide much more storage capacity than the previous manual rack system of the same height, thanks to their height-optimized storage feature. Around 60 percent of precious warehouse space can be saved this way. Frame attachments bolted onto the containers keep the seals, long materials and cables secure during transport. Well-equipped for future demands The central administrative building in Stuttgart also houses the regional offices for the greater Stuttgart area. “With the steady increase in the number of components over the years, our Stuttgart equipment depot was bursting at the seams. And our manual warehousing system with the Perspex storage boxes was becoming increasingly difficult to manage. Building an extension in the residential area, however, would have been far too expensive. With four space-saving H nel Lean-Lifts we were able to do away with the chaotic storage areas in the basement and first floor and consolidate our stock. First of all, however, we had to improve the structural characteristics with a solid foundation in the basement and then break through the basement ceiling,” explains Otto Staib. Replicating the concept used at the Süßenmühle pumping station, seals, bolts, pipe couplings, pumps, shut-off valves, frequency converters, terminals and electrical tools are grouped together in assembly units for quick and easy retrieval. Frame attachments 205 mm and 280 mm high are bolted to the containers to prevent the items from shifting during transport. The Lean-Lift on the outer wall has an additional access point both on the first floor and in the basement with fold-away support rails at both sides. This enables heavy-duty pumps to be put into storage at the Stuttgart site on pallets using a crane or stacker, or simply to be transported from the first floor to the basement. Smart storage management locates articles quickly Item master data are kept updated in the SAP system and any changes are transmitted to the storage management software. That way, Hänel’s integrated storage management guarantees order in the warehouse and transparency in the Lean-Lift cluster. With the article pool management feature, item data can be entered on the touchscreen of the lift controller without specifying a storage position. Data that has already been transferred does not have to be entered again. Conversely, the easy input of order or article numbers, storage positions or article names in the supplementary data fields means that components can be searched for in all four Lean-Lifts simultaneously and quickly found. Password protection increases security at the retrieval point, as only authorized users can access containers that have been allocated a password.

Siemens Turbomachinery GmbH The Hänel Lean-Lift® as a central tool storage system Siemens Turbomachinery GmbH produces steam turbines and blower systems for industrial and waste water applications at its site in Frankenthal, in the State of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Seven Hänel Lean-Lifts® are operated as a central tool depot for the company's production lines. The vertical lift systems provide systematic and height-optimized storage of complete tool sets. The Hänel systems support fast provisioning of a large number of tools. Complete tool sets and individual tool components are effectively safeguarded against damage and dirt. The flexible Hänel multifunction containers can be configured to accommodate diverse tools having various sizes and shapes. Large and small tools are neatly organized in a cluster of lift systems for maximum space utilization. Ergonomic transport of heavy loads with the Hänel transport cart It goes without saying that Hänel has solutions for the storage, ergonomic retrieval and transport of extremely heavy loads. When completely pulled out of the lift system, the entire multifunction container rests on a transport cart which can be delivered to the machinists on the production floor. This reduces the time needed for retooling, not to mention intralogistics routing. Optimized space utilization Siemens Turbomachinery operates another cluster comprised of nine Hänel Lean-Lift® systems as a central storage solution for parts and components needed for assembly processes. These vertical lift systems are organized in groups of three. Parts that are frequently needed are kept in the first six Hänel Lean-Lifts®, which have 100,000 storage positions. The remaining three lift systems in the cluster also use the vertical capacity of five meters available at basement level – these Hänel systems thus have a height of 14.5 meters. Prepositioning boosts picking performance and speed SAP is deployed as the ERP system and is linked to the Hänel MP12 N HostWeb controller via LACOM-TS. When the pick list generated in SAP is scanned, the lift systems automatically go into action. One employee picking items from three Lean-Lift® systems in parallel, and supported by the prepositioning feature, speeds up the process of delivering components to the production area. The storage locations on the multifunction containers are displayed graphically on the compact MP 12 N-HostWeb controller. When the employee confirms retrieval at the control unit, the pick is confirmed and booked in the ERP system automatically. Siemens Turbomachinery has increased process performance to 80 picks per person / per hour thanks to the efficiency of the nine Hänel Lean-Lifts®. The deployment of Hänel vertical lift solutions for the storage and management of tools and parts boosts the reliability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of intralogistics processes.

The Hänel Multi-Space® Order picking on 7 floors Thanks to its modular design, the Hänel Multi-Space® can be adapted to fit any situation. vogel-hemer is a leading electrical engineering company near Dortmund, Germany, specializing in the maintenance and modernization of industrial systems. The company offers customers a wide range of services, from repair work to complete system overhaul. It also supplies well-known business enterprises with new electronic components, such as pumps, drive units and electric motors. To meet growing business and storage demands, especially for spare parts and components, Vogel expanded its floor space up to some 6,000 m2. The Multi-Space® from Hänel plays a decisive role in the efficiency of the new warehouse infrastructure. A tower-like shaft with a height of more than 25 meters is located at the center of the newly constructed building. This shaft rises from the foundation and extends upward to a special expanded section of the roof. The Hänel Multi-Space® is completely integrated in the shaft through all 7 floors in the building. With a height of some 25 meters and being nearly 6 meters wide, the Hänel Multi-Space® provides a remarkable storage area of some 550 m2 with a footprint that is just 24 m2. The Hänel Multi-Space® can hold up to 120 tons of stored goods while delivering maximum efficiency and saving space at the same time. The storage system, with a total of 6 retrieval points, is located in the center of the building and serves 5 different floors, so that employees in the receiving area, as well as those in the supervisory and administrative offices, have direct access to the total volume of stored items. The modular design, plus the options for flexible positioning of several retrieval areas in the infrastructure, make the Hänel Multi-Space® the perfect storage system for this unique logistics concept. The unique three-axis design of the extractor moves the requested multifunction containers from the storage position to the specified retrieval point with remarkable speed. Thanks to the high-speed features of this system, a total of 270 warehouse containers can be retrieved at very high rates. What’s more, an industrial storage system with these dimensions is also energy efficient and contributes to sustainability thanks to Hänel EcoDrive® technology. A frequency converter ensures that as much as 40 % of the energy required for each upward run of the extractor can be fed back into the power supply network each time the extractor descends. The Hänel Multi-Space® also makes for smooth and efficient shipping and receiving by supporting balanced order picking and inventory replenishment. Dual retrieval points mean that employees can fill several orders at the same time. And the Hänel high-speed door makes sure that individual access points are always safe and secure. Thus, at one access point items can be put into storage, while at another the operator can retrieve an additional container. Manfred Vogel and Jürgen Vogel Managing Directors Company: vogel-hemer Location: 58675 Hemer, Germany Employees: approx. 150 Industry: Electrical engineering, mechatronics, control technology Storage systems: 1 Hänel Multi-Space® Items stored: Electric motors, hoists, pumps, frequency converters and electronic components The Hänel Multi-Space® is integrated in a 25-meter vertical shaft extending through seven floors Several retrieval points distributed across 5 floors ensure fast and direct access to stored items. Using the Hänel support rails and two slew cranes, even extremely heavy parts can be retrieved conveniently and ergonomically. Enormous capacity density with height-optimized storage in the Hänel Multi-Space®. High throughput is achieved with two retrieval points that allow for simultaneous order picking. The containers can be pulled right out of the access point so that they rest on the support rails. This is an important feature – even the heaviest electric motors can be moved ergonomically with a crane and placed on the containers, with no obstacles to get in the way. One of the retrieval points is located near the supervisory office on the first floor. Due to its proximity to the workshops and the short walking distances, parts and components are quickly available when needed. In addition to assembly components and service parts, vogel-hemer also keeps all of its office materials, cleaning products and tools in the Hänel Multi-Space® . This saves space in the offices and workshops, and consumables are always available right where they are needed. The flexible Hänel Multi-Space® provides spacesaving and height-optimized storage for all kinds of items. Up to 100,000 articles can be stored intelligently thanks to Hänel lift control technology. The desired containers are requested using the control terminals ergonomically mounted at the side of all 6 storage systems. Access to specific containers is guided by the Hänel access code management system. This protects individual storage areas from unauthorized access – the operator must first enter a PIN to gain access to stored items. Since the Hänel Multi-Space® is completely integrated in the building and hardly accessible from the outside, enhanced fire protection is an important aspect. That is why Hänel engineers developed an effective fire extinguishing system especially for vogel-hemer. In the event of a fire, a network of pipes fills the entire Hänel Multi-Space® system with nitrogen gas. This fire extinguishing method is preferable to using water because nitrogen will not damage any of the articles in storage. Due to its flexible storage capacity and compact footprint, the Hänel Multi-Space® is easily integrated in existing building infrastructures. Direct access to stored items takes place on-site, where the articles are actually needed. Thus the Hänel Multi-Space® combines all of the advantages of Hänel industrial lift technology in one system. Hänel Multi-Space® – the new definition of vertical lift technology from Hänel! Compact, neat and central – all kinds of office materials are stored in one of the 270 containers in the Hänel Multi-Space®. Safe and secure access for the administrative office. Documents and office supplies are stored in the same Hänel Multi-Space® system, but they are safeguarded by a PIN code that is only available to authorized employees. In the event of a fire, a network of pipes fills the entire Hänel Multi-Space® system with nitrogen gas to protect stored items. Direct access at the retrieval point on the first floor. All service and assembly parts are always available in the supervisory office above the workshop.
