Swecon Excavators in constant motion thanks to optimized parts supplies in Hänel storage systems If a replacement part needed for a Volvo construction machine is not available from one of the many Swecon sites or dealerships in northern and central Germany, it is ordered directly from one of Swecon’s central warehouses in Bochum or Gera. Thanks to the Hänel vertical Lean-Lift® modules and Rotomat® storage carousels, the requested spare parts can be delivered straight to the construction site overnight. All the transactions completed at the central warehouses are logged and controlled via the IT system on the MS Dynamics Navision server at the German headquarters of Swecon Baumaschinen GmbH in Ratingen. In addition to trading in industrial machinery made by Volvo Construction Equipment, along with the associated spare parts, Swecon carries out maintenance and repair work with its own Customer Service. Swecon also has a wide-ranging fleet of high-grade construction machinery which it offers for leasing. In conjunction with its authorized dealers, its numerous sites in northern and central Germany guarantee comprehensive customer support for virtually any Volvo construction vehicle. Ideal mix of Rotomat® and Lean-Lift® systems Swecon’s central warehouse in Bochum is constantly stocked with about 38,000 replacement parts. Every day some 250 spare parts consignments are shipped overnight to construction sites, gravel pits or quarries – wherever the construction machinery needing repair is deployed. Around 18,000 small components are kept in five space-saving Rotomat® carousels and three Hänel Lean-Lifts® where they are stored neatly in bins, protected from dust and light, and ready for immediate access. The head of spare parts management at Swecon, Martin Schmid, explains, “Many items such as rubber gaskets or sealing washers are similar in shape and size, so these are best stored in the uniform storage bins of the Rotomat® carousels. At the central warehouse in Gera we have been able to house all the small parts in just two Rotomat® storage carousels.” Bulky parts, on the other hand, are placed on containers in the vertical Lean-Lifts® where storage is optimized according to height. The vertical lift modules and storage carousels have a very small footprint, so most of the previous rack storage system, which took up 400 m2, has been decommissioned and the valuable space freed up for other purposes, such as the dispatch department. It was even possible to re-use the bins from the old rack storage system in the containers and carriers of the Hänel storage systems. High-speed, user-friendly order picking in the storage cluster Thanks to the high-speed “goods to user” retrievals, order picking times have been reduced by around 20 percent – a significant improvement. When a parts shipment is initiated or the receipt of incoming goods logged at a PC in the central warehouse in Bochum or Gera, the corresponding order data is transferred from the storage management system of the Microsoft Dynamics Navision ERP system directly to the Hänel storage systems via the IT network. These systems are seamlessly interconnected and linked to the network via the Sweco server at headquarters in Ratingen. When incoming goods are received, barcode labels are printed out and stuck on the articles. To keep the overall numbers of items in the warehouse constant, one warehouseman does the order picking while another puts incoming goods into storage in an automated process by scanning the labels. At order picking, the barcodes on the labels prepared for the packages are scanned so that the right Lean-Lift® container or Rotomat® carrier is automatically conveyed to the retrieval point. The number of items to be withdrawn is displayed in the electronic pick list on the wireless tablet PCs installed on the picking trolleys. Immediately after processing, the pick lists are automatically deleted. Retrieval errors are avoided with the help of order picking indicator strips. After withdrawing the required items, the user presses the green button, the next item is brought to the access point, and the warehouseman proceeds in this way until the order picking or replenishment process is completed. Article pool management and inventory control Thanks to the article pool management and inventory control functions, all the article data are already stored in the individual microprocessor controllers without the storage position. This means there is no need to re-enter the item stock level, minimum inventory or special data fields again when goods are being picked or replenished. Package height helps determine storage position The storage management system memorizes the dimensions and weights of the item packages. So when it searches through all the storage lifts for a suitable slot, the height of the item is also taken into account. This allows packages with individual or fixed heights to be stored together on containers. Schmid adds: “Many packages have the same size. With this feature the Rotomat® storage carousels with their standard bin sizes are optimally integrated into the cluster.” Storage positions allocated flexibly and reliably When an item reaches the zero inventory level, the storage position is immediately released for other items by the central storage management system. “In this way our warehouse maintains maximum flexibility. For security reasons, storage positions cannot be created locally at the Rotomat® or Lean-Lift®. This is easy to implement with the simple FTP interface to the Hänel microprocessor controllers by blocking storage position allocation. All storage and retrieval booking procedures are logged in a transaction journal so that they can be reported back to the storage management system transparently. In this process order numbers, cost center numbers, storage position and user data fields can be entered in supplementary data fields,” Schmid explains, and adds, “This affords us maximum transparency and optimization of all warehouses, storage units and storage positions. The end result is an error ratio well below one percent.” Around 18,000 small components are kept in five space-saving Rotomat® carousels and three Hänel Lean-Lifts® where they are stored neatly in bins, protected from dust and light and kept ready for immediate access. When an item reaches the zero inventory level, the storage position is immediately released for other items by the central storage management system on the Swecon server in Ratingen. Thanks to the article pool management and inventory control functions, all the article data are already stored in the individual microprocessor controllers without the storage position.

Small parts bin storage Hänel Rotomat Vertical Carousel Fierthbauer GmbH is part of a business organization that delivers systems to special vehicle manufacturers and engineering companies throughout Europe. Fierthbauer operates a Hänel Rotomat® storage system in its shipping department to boost picking processes for small parts. By fully exploiting the warehouse height – from floor to ceiling – overall storage density was increased to provide maximum storage capacity within a minimum footprint. The Hänel Rotomat® is based on the Ferris wheel principle and brings various kinds of stored items to the access point for fast, safe and ergonomic retrieval. Large numbers of diverse small parts are stored in bins which are neatly organized on the multifunction carriers of the Hänel system. One single Hänel Rotomat® industrial storage system can hold more than eight tons of material. Storage positions are allocated by the Hänel MP 12 N controller Thanks to the extreme flexibility of Hänel controllers, the lift system was seamlessly integrated in the customer’s existing network. The controllers are very easy to use and have a wide range of functions. All job and item information is sent via CIFS from the customer’s Navision ERP solution directly to the MP 12 N controller. During putaway processes, the MP 12 N supports the search for unoccupied storage positions. Transaction data is sent to Navision by the minute Employees start the picking process by scanning the job barcodes directly at the lift access point. Based on optimized routing, the multifunction carriers holding the requested items are sequentially brought to the access point for retrieval. Users can then pick the items from the storage system at an ergonomic height. Quantities and item numbers are displayed on the Hänel MP 12 N microprocessor controller. When the user confirms retrieval on the control unit, the storage system automatically brings the next requisite item to the access point – this process continues until all of the items on the pick list have been retrieved. Transaction data is sent to Navision every minute via the transaction journal. Inventory status is constantly monitored and updated by the Hänel inventory module. The goods-to-man principle improves ergonomics – and users do not have to walk around looking for requested items. The Hänel compartment and sub-level indicators, which are integrated in the work counter, help users identify storage positions. This speeds up the picking process and considerably reduces picking errors. The seven-fold increase in storage density, and the doubling of overall picks, are among the many benefits delivered by the Hänel Rotomat® in the shipping department at Fierthbauer in Esslingen-Zell. Error-free order picking with the barcode scanner After confirmation at the lift controller, the Hänel Rotomat® brings the requisite carrier immediately to the access point Quick and error-free access with the Hänel compartment and sub-level indicators Hänel Rotomat® systems neatly store huge amounts of small items and provide them to users quickly and ergonomically The Hänel MP 12 N control unit displays all job and item information in a clear and concise format Thanks to the integrated roller made of V2A stainless steel, even heavy bins can be removed from the system easily and ergonomically "The Hänel Rotomat® has enabled us to expand our warehouse floor space by a factor of seven. The number of picks has more than doubled, and errors have been reduced dramatically. The linkup to Navision was fast and posed no problems." Torsten Brandstetter , Head of Production and Logistics

TQ-Systems GmbH Carousel storage optimizes production logistics TQ-Systems, a German electronics provider in Seefeld near Munich, relies on 45 Hänel Rotomat® storage systems to optimize production logistics. LACOM/TS communications software and the LACOM/IDOC server are used for intelligent and flexible coordination of the put and pick operations for SMD and THT components in the storage carousels. The Hänel systems replaced decentralized storage areas where employees manually retrieved items for various assembly lines. This process is now centralized, automated and extremely efficient. At TQ-Systems' Seefeld headquarters in the Bavarian region of Germany, some 70,000 storage positions in the Hänel Rotomat® solution are included in the customer's SAP WM module. Most positions are allocated for electronic SMD and THT components. The Rotomat® storage carousels have effectively optimized warehouse logistics so that more productivity can be achieved without the need for additional employees. Various types of supply systems provide the items needed for production – trolleys transport the components from the central warehouse in the basement to the assembly area on the ground floor. Careful planning and constant expansion of the new Hänel Rotomat® storage solution optimized the storage density in the carousels – from the floor to the ceiling. Based on precise requirement planning by TQ-Systems, Hänel fitted the storage carousels with special profiles to accommodate intermediate, split-level shelves. The addition of variable dividers ensures an optimal storage density of nearly 100 percent. Hänel LACOM/TS communications software and the LACOM/IDOC server provide the fast and direct channel that connects the storage carousels with the SAP warehouse management system. All storage data is managed centrally in SAP, including storage and retrieval operations that are communicated as transport orders to the LACOM/TS application via the IDOC interface. Thus multiple job orders can be filled simultaneously on several storage carousel systems. During put and pick operations, item packaging is scanned for data that activates inventory control in SAP – inventory levels are automatically compared and adjusted in real time without interrupting the IT chain. The intelligent Hänel communications software LACOM/TS also regulates user management and access rights. This means, for example, that two lockable Rotomat® systems in the cluster can be operated manually and separately as consignment storage systems. To prevent potential damage from ESD, the internal components of each storage carousel are coated with an antistatic finish. What's more, the buildup of static electricity on the carriers is prevented by brass bushings mounted in the carrying levers. Each system is also equipped with an electromechanical safety switch and a photoelectric safety light curtain at the access point.

There is no need to walk back and forth during retrieval, and that saves time and reduces machine retooling time. The Hänel Rotomat® is based on the vertical carousel principle. By utilizing the height of the production hall large quantities of components can be stored inside the Hänel system, while saving an enormous amount of floor space – all operations are efficient and ergonomic. Safe and secure tool storage Access protection for parts and tools is an important requirement. The Hänel Lockomat® is the ideal solution for safeguarding valuable tools and measuring devices from unauthorized access. In order to retrieve an item, the employee must first enter the item number of the tool or device by using the keypad on the Hänel MP 12 N microprocessor controller. Then the employee uses an ID card to complete the authorization process on the RFID terminal right next to the Hänel controller. The compartment doors open automatically, giving the user access only to those items specified on the pick list. All storage and retrieval transactions are logged in a transaction journal which is constantly updated to ensure precise tracking. The display on the Hänel controller can show the current inventory in the storage system at all times. This supports constant inventory control by comparing the Hänel data with the information in the host SAP ERP system! The Hänel Lockomat® as a central storage system for valuable tools and measuring devices Various kinds of machine parts are stored compactly in the Hänel Rotomat® and easily retrieved as needed The intuitive Hänel MP 12 N controller gives employees access to parts at any time Small parts are stored in trays mounted on telescopic rails 'The Hänel solutions have enabled us to set up a compact and efficient depot for tools and parts on the production floor, not to mention the efficient and ergonomic processes that benefit our employees.'

Storage for event rentals and supplies Modern storage for event equipment Founded in 1992, the Party Rent Group is one of Europe's largest event service providers. Today the Party Rent Group has 400 employees, plus 214 commercial vehicles and 29,000 m² of storage area for its event logistics operations. In addition to tents, heating and air conditioning systems, Party Rent also loans equipment such as dinnerware, flatware, glassware, tables, chairs, bars and buffet systems for events of all types, both large and small. When table linen and furniture covers were added to the products offered, Party Rent needed to reorganize its storage space. Six Hänel Rotomat® storage carousels now compactly hold tablecloths, chair covers and other textiles, keeping them free of dust and dirt. During the order picking process, all articles are transported quickly and reliably to the retrieval points. The 30 carriers in each of the six Rotomat® storage carousels are three meters long, with a depth of 50 centimeters. The carriers are slightly slanted toward the inside of the system. This prevents linens from falling out of the system when the carriers are in motion. The bottom and rear wall of each carrier feature slotted perforations spaced 20 mm apart for variable space configuration. Movable dividers can also be added for more flexibility. The multifunction carriers are also easily adjustable so that Rotomat® storage carousels can accommodate items of various height, making for customized and versatile storage. This also ensures maximum storage space density as well. What's more, all Rotomat® storage carousels are equipped with smooth-operating, lockable sliding doors. This protects stored items from dust and dirt, as well as from unauthorized access. Each retrieval point features a wear-resistant V2A work counter, ergonomically positioned at a height of one meter to ensure optimal convenience during order picking. In addition, these Rotomat® systems also have innovative Hänel EcoLoad® technology to save energy. EcoLoad® constantly monitors the load status. As the Rotomat® works on the principle of rotation, a lot of energy can be saved through even load distribution. If the load recommendations issued by the Hänel microprocessor controller are precisely followed, the stored items will always be positioned to ensure perfect balance, and that reduces the energy needed to set the system in motion. And Hänel EcoLoad® does more than warn against unbalanced loads. This EcoConcept also uses the display to show which shelves should be used for optimal load balancing. These Rotomat® storage carousels have a storage capacity of up to five tons. The mechanical parts and carrier sets of the Hänel systems are designed and configured according to the size and weight of the storage goods. It's this flexibility that makes the Hänel Rotomat® so cost-effective. In addition to the Rotomat® that stores textiles, the Party Rent Group also operates a Hänel Lean-Lift® with a height of nine meters for storing flatware and dinnerware. Thanks to a maximum payload capacity of up to 60 tons, the Hänel Lean-Lift® is the perfect choice for this task. The vertical, height-optimized Hänel Lean-Lift® was ordered as a high-speed model, equipped with access code management. Only authorized employees have access to the valuable silver flatware kept in the system.

Swecon Excavators in constant motion thanks to optimized parts supplies in Hänel storage systems If a replacement part needed for a Volvo construction machine is not available from one of the many Swecon sites or dealerships in northern and central Germany, it is ordered directly from one of Swecon’s central warehouses in Bochum or Gera. Thanks to the Hänel vertical Lean-Lift® modules and Rotomat® storage carousels, the requested spare parts can be delivered straight to the construction site overnight. All the transactions completed at the central warehouses are logged and controlled via the IT system on the MS Dynamics Navision server at the German headquarters of Swecon Baumaschinen GmbH in Ratingen. In addition to trading in industrial machinery made by Volvo Construction Equipment, along with the associated spare parts, Swecon carries out maintenance and repair work with its own Customer Service. Swecon also has a wide-ranging fleet of high-grade construction machinery which it offers for leasing. In conjunction with its authorized dealers, its numerous sites in northern and central Germany guarantee comprehensive customer support for virtually any Volvo construction vehicle. Ideal mix of Rotomat® and Lean-Lift® systems Swecon’s central warehouse in Bochum is constantly stocked with about 38,000 replacement parts. Every day some 250 spare parts consignments are shipped overnight to construction sites, gravel pits or quarries – wherever the construction machinery needing repair is deployed. Around 18,000 small components are kept in five space-saving Rotomat® carousels and three Hänel Lean-Lifts® where they are stored neatly in bins, protected from dust and light, and ready for immediate access. The head of spare parts management at Swecon, Martin Schmid, explains, “Many items such as rubber gaskets or sealing washers are similar in shape and size, so these are best stored in the uniform storage bins of the Rotomat® carousels. At the central warehouse in Gera we have been able to house all the small parts in just two Rotomat® storage carousels.” Bulky parts, on the other hand, are placed on containers in the vertical Lean-Lifts® where storage is optimized according to height. The vertical lift modules and storage carousels have a very small footprint, so most of the previous rack storage system, which took up 400 m2, has been decommissioned and the valuable space freed up for other purposes, such as the dispatch department. It was even possible to re-use the bins from the old rack storage system in the containers and carriers of the Hänel storage systems. High-speed, user-friendly order picking in the storage cluster Thanks to the high-speed “goods to user” retrievals, order picking times have been reduced by around 20 percent – a significant improvement. When a parts shipment is initiated or the receipt of incoming goods logged at a PC in the central warehouse in Bochum or Gera, the corresponding order data is transferred from the storage management system of the Microsoft Dynamics Navision ERP system directly to the Hänel storage systems via the IT network. These systems are seamlessly interconnected and linked to the network via the Sweco server at headquarters in Ratingen. When incoming goods are received, barcode labels are printed out and stuck on the articles. To keep the overall numbers of items in the warehouse constant, one warehouseman does the order picking while another puts incoming goods into storage in an automated process by scanning the labels. At order picking, the barcodes on the labels prepared for the packages are scanned so that the right Lean-Lift® container or Rotomat® carrier is automatically conveyed to the retrieval point. The number of items to be withdrawn is displayed in the electronic pick list on the wireless tablet PCs installed on the picking trolleys. Immediately after processing, the pick lists are automatically deleted. Retrieval errors are avoided with the help of order picking indicator strips. After withdrawing the required items, the user presses the green button, the next item is brought to the access point, and the warehouseman proceeds in this way until the order picking or replenishment process is completed. Article pool management and inventory control Thanks to the article pool management and inventory control functions, all the article data are already stored in the individual microprocessor controllers without the storage position. This means there is no need to re-enter the item stock level, minimum inventory or special data fields again when goods are being picked or replenished. Package height helps determine storage position The storage management system memorizes the dimensions and weights of the item packages. So when it searches through all the storage lifts for a suitable slot, the height of the item is also taken into account. This allows packages with individual or fixed heights to be stored together on containers. Schmid adds: “Many packages have the same size. With this feature the Rotomat® storage carousels with their standard bin sizes are optimally integrated into the cluster.” Storage positions allocated flexibly and reliably When an item reaches the zero inventory level, the storage position is immediately released for other items by the central storage management system. “In this way our warehouse maintains maximum flexibility. For security reasons, storage positions cannot be created locally at the Rotomat® or Lean-Lift®. This is easy to implement with the simple FTP interface to the Hänel microprocessor controllers by blocking storage position allocation. All storage and retrieval booking procedures are logged in a transaction journal so that they can be reported back to the storage management system transparently. In this process order numbers, cost center numbers, storage position and user data fields can be entered in supplementary data fields,” Schmid explains, and adds, “This affords us maximum transparency and optimization of all warehouses, storage units and storage positions. The end result is an error ratio well below one percent.” Around 18,000 small components are kept in five space-saving Rotomat® carousels and three Hänel Lean-Lifts® where they are stored neatly in bins, protected from dust and light and kept ready for immediate access. When an item reaches the zero inventory level, the storage position is immediately released for other items by the central storage management system on the Swecon server in Ratingen. Thanks to the article pool management and inventory control functions, all the article data are already stored in the individual microprocessor controllers without the storage position.

Surgical mask storage Supplier of equipment for making medical masks relies on the Hänel Rotomat® Due to limited floor space, the company stores printed circuit boards, connectors for ultrasonic welding machines as well as small parts for converters in the automated Hänel system swiss-sonic Ultraschall AG is located in Arbon, in the eastern part of Switzerland, and has been successfully producing ultrasonic components used in the automobile, food and medical technology industries for nearly 20 years. The company also produces plastic welding machines used to manufacture premium-grade FFP2 masks. Demand for this equipment has skyrocketed during the coronavirus pandemic. The Hänel Rotomat® industrial storage system is some 9.8 ft/3 m in height and utilizes the vertical space available in the production building to provide neat, transparent and space-saving storage. The items stored in the enclosed system are also reliably protected against dust, dirt and unauthorized access. The Hänel MP 12 N offers maximum ease of use and functionality The Hänel MP 12 N microprocessor controller provides employees at swiss-sonic with maximum ease of use and functionality. The basic version of this Hänel controller features integrated and comprehensive warehouse management functions. The controller display gives users all the information they need – for example, item numbers, storage positions, inventory quantities and other key data. The Hänel Rotomat® is based on the vertical carousel principle and functions according to the “goods to man” principle. This saves time and ensures short routing. All kinds of diverse small parts are neatly stored in more than 200 bins in the Rotomat® Diverse procurement parts are neatly stored on the flexibly configurable Hänel multifunction carriers Production employees use the controller touch screen to select the items they need. Once the pick is confirmed, the lift system uses the shortest route possible to bring the carrier with the requested item to the access point. The display on the Hänel MP 12 N controller shows the user precisely where the item is located on the carrier to ensure error-free retrieval. Employees have fast, safe, secure and ergonomic access to all small parts on inventory. Hänel multifunction carriers with flexible compartment dividers The Hänel multifunction carriers have adjustable dividers to separate items in storage – this allows swiss-sonic to neatly store procurement parts in bins of various sizes. Constant load monitoring with Hänel EcoLoad® The Hänel Rotomat® also features the clever energy-saving concept known as Hänel EcoLoad®. It constantly monitors the load status of the Hänel Rotomat® and actively provides users with loading recommendations via the controller so that all loads are balanced. This in turn minimizes the energy needed to keep the system carriers in motion. Integrated energy-saving LED lighting rounds off the user-friendly Hänel storage concept. The Hänel Rotomat® enables swiss-sonic to neatly and transparently store more than 200 bins of small parts within a minimum footprint! Thanks to the vertical carousel principle, employees have ergonomic access to the items they need The Hänel Rotomat® is a compact system with a small footprint offering maximum storage capacity for small parts Integrated warehouse management is a standard feature of the Hänel MP 12 N controller „In addition to reliability and ergonomics, faster picking along with efficient space utilization were also among the decisive factors for choosing the Hänel intralogistics solution.“ Casey Bernet , Managing Director

TQ-Systems GmbH Carousel storage optimizes production logistics TQ-Systems, a German electronics provider in Seefeld near Munich, relies on 45 Hänel Rotomat® storage systems to optimize production logistics. LACOM/TS communications software and the LACOM/IDOC server are used for intelligent and flexible coordination of the put and pick operations for SMD and THT components in the storage carousels. The Hänel systems replaced decentralized storage areas where employees manually retrieved items for various assembly lines. This process is now centralized, automated and extremely efficient. At TQ-Systems' Seefeld headquarters in the Bavarian region of Germany, some 70,000 storage positions in the Hänel Rotomat® solution are included in the customer's SAP WM module. Most positions are allocated for electronic SMD and THT components. The Rotomat® storage carousels have effectively optimized warehouse logistics so that more productivity can be achieved without the need for additional employees. Various types of supply systems provide the items needed for production – trolleys transport the components from the central warehouse in the basement to the assembly area on the ground floor. Careful planning and constant expansion of the new Hänel Rotomat® storage solution optimized the storage density in the carousels – from the floor to the ceiling. Based on precise requirement planning by TQ-Systems, Hänel fitted the storage carousels with special profiles to accommodate intermediate, split-level shelves. The addition of variable dividers ensures an optimal storage density of nearly 100 percent. Hänel LACOM/TS communications software and the LACOM/IDOC server provide the fast and direct channel that connects the storage carousels with the SAP warehouse management system. All storage data is managed centrally in SAP, including storage and retrieval operations that are communicated as transport orders to the LACOM/TS application via the IDOC interface. Thus multiple job orders can be filled simultaneously on several storage carousel systems. During put and pick operations, item packaging is scanned for data that activates inventory control in SAP – inventory levels are automatically compared and adjusted in real time without interrupting the IT chain. The intelligent Hänel communications software LACOM/TS also regulates user management and access rights. This means, for example, that two lockable Rotomat® systems in the cluster can be operated manually and separately as consignment storage systems. To prevent potential damage from ESD, the internal components of each storage carousel are coated with an antistatic finish. What's more, the buildup of static electricity on the carriers is prevented by brass bushings mounted in the carrying levers. Each system is also equipped with an electromechanical safety switch and a photoelectric safety light curtain at the access point.

Schultz W. E. – Elektromagnete | Oberrindal, CH Safe and secure storage of tools and parts Reliable and secure parts supply for manufacturing with the Hänel Rotomat® and Lockomat® The family-owned business W.E. Schultz Electromagnets and Precision Engineering in Oberrindal, Switzerland, relies on Hänel Rotomat® and Lockomat® systems to safely store production components, tools, spare parts and metrological devices. The maker of electromagnets and electromagnetic sensors has invested in Hänel solutions in order to save space and boost the efficiency of manufacturing processes. The Hänel systems are installed centrally in the production area. Employees are able to retrieve machine parts on demand – precisely when and where they are needed. There is no need to walk back and forth during retrieval, and that saves time and reduces machine retooling time. The Hänel Rotomat® is based on the vertical carousel principle. By utilizing the height of the production hall large quantities of components can be stored inside the Hänel system, while saving an enormous amount of floor space – all operations are efficient and ergonomic. Safe and secure tool storage Access protection for parts and tools is an important requirement. The Hänel Lockomat® is the ideal solution for safeguarding valuable tools and measuring devices from unauthorized access. In order to retrieve an item, the employee must first enter the item number of the tool or device by using the keypad on the Hänel MP 12 N microprocessor controller. Then the employee uses an ID card to complete the authorization process on the RFID terminal right next to the Hänel controller. The compartment doors open automatically, giving the user access only to those items specified on the pick list. All storage and retrieval transactions are logged in a transaction journal which is constantly updated to ensure precise tracking. The display on the Hänel controller can show the current inventory in the storage system at all times. This supports constant inventory control by comparing the Hänel data with the information in the host SAP ERP system! The Hänel Lockomat® as a central storage system for valuable tools and measuring devices Various kinds of machine parts are stored compactly in the Hänel Rotomat® and easily retrieved as needed The intuitive Hänel MP 12 N controller gives employees access to parts at any time Small parts are stored in trays mounted on telescopic rails „The Hänel solutions have enabled us to set up a compact and efficient depot for tools and parts on the production floor, not to mention the efficient and ergonomic processes that benefit our employees.“ Alexander Hildt Production Manager

SIBO Fluidra, Veghel, NL The Hänel storage systems are a perfect match for the guiding principles followed by SIBO Fluidra: Be reliable, innovative and performance-oriented! SIBO Fluidra BV, founded in 1993, is a specialized wholesaler of plastic pipe systems and watering systems, not to mention equipment for aquaculture and swimming pools. The company supplies products to installation professionals and retailers in over 50 countries. When moving to its new headquarters on Doornhoek in Veghel, SIBO Fluidra also integrated ten Hänel Lean-Lifts® in its order distribution center. Some 6,000 different items are stored at this site. By using HänelSoft® to connect the Hänel Lean-Lifts® to its SAP ERP system , SIBO Fluidra is able to process customer orders much faster and with more flexibility. For example, orders received before noon are filled and shipped on the same day. The principle of “goods to the operator” and the Hänel Pick-o-Light® system deliver decisive advantages from this solution: • 25% increase in order picking speed • Virtually error-free order picking • Space savings of 3,552 sq ft Efficient order picking and storage management with the Hänel interface to SAP Maximum capacity density with height-optimized storage By exploiting the maximum vertical space available, Hänel Lean-Lifts® with a height of some 12 meters can save 3,552 sq ft of floor space. Hänel Pick-o-Light® for fast and accurate retrieval

Storage for event rentals and supplies Modern storage for event equipment Founded in 1992, the Party Rent Group is one of Europe's largest event service providers. Today the Party Rent Group has 400 employees, plus 214 commercial vehicles and 29,000 m² of storage area for its event logistics operations. In addition to tents, heating and air conditioning systems, Party Rent also loans equipment such as dinnerware, flatware, glassware, tables, chairs, bars and buffet systems for events of all types, both large and small. When table linen and furniture covers were added to the products offered, Party Rent needed to reorganize its storage space. Six Hänel Rotomat® storage carousels now compactly hold tablecloths, chair covers and other textiles, keeping them free of dust and dirt. During the order picking process, all articles are transported quickly and reliably to the retrieval points. The 30 carriers in each of the six Rotomat® storage carousels are three meters long, with a depth of 50 centimeters. The carriers are slightly slanted toward the inside of the system. This prevents linens from falling out of the system when the carriers are in motion. The bottom and rear wall of each carrier feature slotted perforations spaced 20 mm apart for variable space configuration. Movable dividers can also be added for more flexibility. The multifunction carriers are also easily adjustable so that Rotomat® storage carousels can accommodate items of various height, making for customized and versatile storage. This also ensures maximum storage space density as well. What's more, all Rotomat® storage carousels are equipped with smooth-operating, lockable sliding doors. This protects stored items from dust and dirt, as well as from unauthorized access. Each retrieval point features a wear-resistant V2A work counter, ergonomically positioned at a height of one meter to ensure optimal convenience during order picking. In addition, these Rotomat® systems also have innovative Hänel EcoLoad® technology to save energy. EcoLoad® constantly monitors the load status. As the Rotomat® works on the principle of rotation, a lot of energy can be saved through even load distribution. If the load recommendations issued by the Hänel microprocessor controller are precisely followed, the stored items will always be positioned to ensure perfect balance, and that reduces the energy needed to set the system in motion. And Hänel EcoLoad® does more than warn against unbalanced loads. This EcoConcept also uses the display to show which shelves should be used for optimal load balancing. These Rotomat® storage carousels have a storage capacity of up to five tons. The mechanical parts and carrier sets of the Hänel systems are designed and configured according to the size and weight of the storage goods. It's this flexibility that makes the Hänel Rotomat® so cost-effective. In addition to the Rotomat® that stores textiles, the Party Rent Group also operates a Hänel Lean-Lift® with a height of nine meters for storing flatware and dinnerware. Thanks to a maximum payload capacity of up to 60 tons, the Hänel Lean-Lift® is the perfect choice for this task. The vertical, height-optimized Hänel Lean-Lift® was ordered as a high-speed model, equipped with access code management. Only authorized employees have access to the valuable silver flatware kept in the system.

Local police headquarters in Meschede File management with the Hänel Rotomat® office carousel The local police headquarters in Meschede relies on the Hänel Rotomat® 600 for its administration work – the carousel for vertical hanging folde Thanks to their efficient use of space, two Hänel Rotomat® office carousels are able to house all the criminal records from the entire district of Hochsauerland. Because the two Rotomat® carousels are installed next to the desks, distances are short and work processes in the administrative offices are made easier. Inquiries can be answered quickly and reliably. Hänel won this contract in a competitive tendering procedure. The project saw the replacement of existing storage systems with Hänel Rotomat® office carousels, which created considerably more storage volume on a smaller footprint.

Heavy parts can be retrieved and transported to their destinations using crane runways.

Small parts bin storage Hänel Rotomat Vertical Carousel Fierthbauer GmbH is part of a business organization that delivers systems to special vehicle manufacturers and engineering companies throughout Europe. Fierthbauer operates a Hänel Rotomat® storage system in its shipping department to boost picking processes for small parts. By fully exploiting the warehouse height – from floor to ceiling – overall storage density was increased to provide maximum storage capacity within a minimum footprint. The Hänel Rotomat® is based on the Ferris wheel principle and brings various kinds of stored items to the access point for fast, safe and ergonomic retrieval. Large numbers of diverse small parts are stored in bins which are neatly organized on the multifunction carriers of the Hänel system. One single Hänel Rotomat® industrial storage system can hold more than eight tons of material. Storage positions are allocated by the Hänel MP 12 N controller Thanks to the extreme flexibility of Hänel controllers, the lift system was seamlessly integrated in the customer’s existing network. The controllers are very easy to use and have a wide range of functions. All job and item information is sent via CIFS from the customer’s Navision ERP solution directly to the MP 12 N controller. During putaway processes, the MP 12 N supports the search for unoccupied storage positions. Transaction data is sent to Navision by the minute Employees start the picking process by scanning the job barcodes directly at the lift access point. Based on optimized routing, the multifunction carriers holding the requested items are sequentially brought to the access point for retrieval. Users can then pick the items from the storage system at an ergonomic height. Quantities and item numbers are displayed on the Hänel MP 12 N microprocessor controller. When the user confirms retrieval on the control unit, the storage system automatically brings the next requisite item to the access point – this process continues until all of the items on the pick list have been retrieved. Transaction data is sent to Navision every minute via the transaction journal. Inventory status is constantly monitored and updated by the Hänel inventory module. The goods-to-man principle improves ergonomics – and users do not have to walk around looking for requested items. The Hänel compartment and sub-level indicators, which are integrated in the work counter, help users identify storage positions. This speeds up the picking process and considerably reduces picking errors. The seven-fold increase in storage density, and the doubling of overall picks, are among the many benefits delivered by the Hänel Rotomat® in the shipping department at Fierthbauer in Esslingen-Zell. Error-free order picking with the barcode scanner After confirmation at the lift controller, the Hänel Rotomat® brings the requisite carrier immediately to the access point Quick and error-free access with the Hänel compartment and sub-level indicators Hänel Rotomat® systems neatly store huge amounts of small items and provide them to users quickly and ergonomically The Hänel MP 12 N control unit displays all job and item information in a clear and concise format Thanks to the integrated roller made of V2A stainless steel, even heavy bins can be removed from the system easily and ergonomically "The Hänel Rotomat® has enabled us to expand our warehouse floor space by a factor of seven. The number of picks has more than doubled, and errors have been reduced dramatically. The linkup to Navision was fast and posed no problems." Torsten Brandstetter , Head of Production and Logistics

Rotomat® storage systems optimize the storage of ingredients in the mixing laboratory Unilever | Heilbronn, Germany Unilever is known for its future-oriented business approach and the constant optimization of processes. For example, Unilever focused on ergonomic working conditions, fast access times, space savings and flexibility when designing its new ingredients storage area for the mixing laboratory in the company’s development center in Heilbronn, Germany. This was important for its Knorr brand of products: Today three Hänel Rotomat® systems store the ingredients needed for developing soup and sauce recipes, all within an extremely small footprint, and with fast and convenient access. Space-saving and ergonomic storage with the Hänel Rotomat® In collaboration with the works physician, the company recently evaluated the work environment in the manual storage area for the mixing laboratory at the Unilever site in Heilbronn. The R & D site-support manager, Thomas Bösch, also manages the mixing laboratory and explains the importance of the evaluation: “The analytic study was focused on all work processes in the laboratory. The entire raw materials warehouse needed to be reorganized for more ergonomics so that employees would not have to constantly bend over or lift items above their heads.” In collaboration with Hänel experts, some 1,300 ingredients such as croutons and spices were analyzed and stored in two variants of special storage bins designed for three Hänel Rotomat® systems. The multifunction carriers in the Rotomat® systems each have 24 single or 12 double-sized bins. All of the bins have barcodes for automatic scanning. Seamless integration in the host system The Hänel central controller keeps a record of the bin locations. The modern microprocessor controllers fully integrate the Hänel storage systems in the Unilever host system. Pick and put operations are conducted automatically with barcode scanners. For example, when a bin is returned to inventory, the barcode is scanned and the Rotomat® automatically brings the correct carrier to the access point. Integrated LED indicators at the access point light up to show employees the exact position of each storage bin, thus making the process much faster. Project manager Thomas Bösch is very pleased with the results: “Thanks to the ergonomic access points,constant bending, stretching and reaching for ingredients are things of the past. Our developers and laboratory technicians now use touch-screen terminals and consoles attached to the storage systems to retrieve ingredients for recipes much faster – and simultaneously. The ‘goods to man’ picking process keeps storage routing at minimum levels. What’s more, these optimized access processes increase overall efficiency and productivity.” ‘The greatest compliment, however, is reflected in the employee satisfaction that comes from working with Hänel systems!’ The ergonomics in the mixing laboratory have been considerably improved thanks to three Hänel Rotomat® systems Seamless integration of the Rotomat® storage systems in the Unilever sample tracing system

Archive and material sample storage Ready for Internet commerce and online business success The ergonomic access point of the Rotomat® office carousel makes for fast, efficient and route-optimized archiving processes. The Witt Group is one of Europe's leading mail order retailers of clothing and textiles. In peak seasons up to 100,000 orders are shipped every day. Witt is a member of the Otto Group and, with its mail order catalog and 19 online shops, does business in 12 countries. To cope with expected business growth, the Witt Group has invested heavily in the expansion of its shipping and distribution center in Weiden, Germany. The Witt Group relies on Hänel storage expertise and technology when it comes to document archiving. Two Hänel Rotomat® office carousel systems were installed to automate the inspection documentation archive and the material samples collection for better process efficiency. "In the past documents were sorted, compiled and kept in DIN A4 ring binders according to item numbers. However, as our range of clothing expanded enormously, our document and sample archiving was getting out of control," says Petra Irlbacher, administration team manager for goods inspection. Today the inspection documents are neatly sorted and archived in vertical DIN A4 hanging folders in two Hänel Rotomat® office carousels. All hanging folders have barcode labels and, thanks to the vertical Ferris wheel principle of the Hänel systems, the archives take up very little space. Unlike the complex archiving based on item numbers and binders kept on shelves, the Hänel Rotomat® solution is more efficient because each hanging folder is assigned a product model number. The advantage: The barcode label on the folder ensures that each product model has only one storage position in the archive system. When a file is removed from the system, the space is no longer occupied and is thus available for allocation to another product model. All item data and product descriptions are stored in Witt's own enterprise IT management system, and this information is also displayed on the terminal of each Hänel office carousel during archiving and retrieval. Hänel management software controls both office carousels and communicates seamlessly with the enterprise host system used at Witt. Each Hänel Rotomat® has 12 shelves, and each shelf is fitted with eight pull-out units for 92 vertical DIN A4 hanging folders. A frequency converter makes sure that the vertical rotation within the system is smooth and quiet. When goods arrive at the Witt Group, they are assigned a consignment number that is entered in the IT system. The data required for retrieving the inspection documents is automatically entered in the Rotomat® storage carousel at the same time. Since the storage systems are seamlessly integrated in the IT environment at the Witt Group, all filing processes are controlled and documented using scanners and keyboards installed on the Hänel Rotomat® office carousels. The ergonomic access point of the Rotomat® office carousel makes for fast, efficient and route-optimized archiving processes. The Witt Group is one of Europe's leading mail order retailers of clothing and textiles. In peak seasons up to 100,000 orders are shipped every day.

Twenty years of successful cooperation between Hänel Storage Systems and Kasys Dear Business Partners with your Families and Employees, This year Kasys celebrates its 20th anniversary and hence also 20 years of collaboration with Hänel. These 20 years have flown by. There have been ups and downs, but in a time when our society is undergoing constant change, these 20 years have been marked by mutual trust and shared successes. Looking back, we realize that this collaboration was only made possible by one of the most profound political and economic changes to take place worldwide over the last few decades: the fall of the "Iron Curtain". The crisis was at the same time an opportunity for a fresh start. Our first contact with Kasys was established by Udo Wagner in 1992. He had already worked with Mr. Sole during his employment at the "VEB Kombinat Robotron". This personal relationship was a mutual reference and was the foundation of their trust in each other. When I look back, I see that this collaboration was made possible by the vision and the courage of Vaclav Sole. Although he came from what appeared at first glance to be a very different branch of industry, Mr. Sole quickly made the decision to work with Hänel. Today you can say with pride that Kasys was our first distribution partner from the former Warsaw Pact states after the fall of the "Iron Curtain". By choosing Hänel, Kasys of course opted for a strong partner who is listed today both in the "Encyclopaedia of World Market Leaders" and in the compendium entitled "The best of German engineering". The know-how that has been built up in all areas over many years is a key factor in our collaboration and a prerequisite for our shared market success. These 20 years have been shaped by the establishment and continuous expansion of joint activities on the Czech and Slovakian markets. At the beginning, banks and public authorities made up the greater part of the Kasys customer base. The very first office carousel, for example, was delivered to the Tachov Savings Bank at the end of 1993. Four more Rotomat® office carousels went to the Czech Insurance company, two of them featuring multiple access openings. Our Export Manager at the time, Dieter Carl, was present on site for all of these projects. Since then, Rotomat® industrial carousels have also been supplied to renowned companies like Skoda, Siemens and Bosch. One of the largest office carousel installations in the world can be found in the Czech Republic at the Czech Office for Social Security where there are a total of 232 Rotomat® office carousels. Back in 1996 our collaboration with Mr. Smolen was established for the Slovakian market. This was a logical step that also had its historical reasons. Moreover, it was a good decision to pool the sales people on these two markets. Sales of office carousels continue to be a very important branch of the business today. At the same time, Kasys has set up the industrial lift business and is constantly expanding it. I am certain this is the right way forward and an important step into the future. The relationship between Hänel and Kasys has matured in all areas and become closer. Our partnership in business works in principle like a marriage. It is based on give and take. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry once said, "A good marriage is not when we look at one another, but when we both look in the same direction". With this in mind, our former Export Manager Dieter Carl laid the first foundations here for a cooperative partnership. When the baton was passed to Markus Kälin, this strengthened the relationship between Kasys and Hänel Switzerland, and I think that friendships have developed there both under Dieter Carl and under Markus Kälin. Now our task is to consolidate what we began and expand on it. The dialog we engage in over the coming days should serve to determine our way forward together. The political and economic turmoil especially of the last few months presents us increasingly with major challenges in Europe and throughout the world as a whole. Standing shoulder to shoulder is more essential than ever. This also means that we must always seek and find ways to communicate openly. Dear Family Sole, Family Smolen, employees of Kasys and Hänel employees, I would like to give you my personal thanks for your untiring commitment these past 20 years. I wish you and your company, and all your employees, lots of luck and all the best for the coming years, and I hope that as we move toward the future our successful cooperation will continue in the same spirit. Yours in friendship, Joachim Hänel

Hänel EcoDrive® energy recovery Vertical lift systems and storage carousels Huge storage capacity with five Hänel Lean-Lift® systems with a height of 49.21 ft / 15 m In the electrical and mechanical engineering sectors, production and buffer storage areas equipped with automated storage systems support the flexibility, transparency and accuracy of manufacturing processes. That’s why SITEMA installed Hänel Lean-Lifts® in its new production facility to utilize the vertical height of 49.21 ft / 15 m – from floor to ceiling – within an extremely small storage footprint. Three Hänel Lean-Lift® systems, each with a height of 49.21 ft / 15 m, were installed in the new building to store heavy pallets containing about 300 different kinds of machined metal parts. System operators can conveniently pull out the pallets, some weighing up to 1,543.24 lbs / 700 kg, using sturdy rails when retrieving metal parts needed for production. Hänel also installed two additional Lean-Lifts® of the same type and size for storing some 4,600 smaller manufacturing components. Of the nearly 170 pick operations carried out every day, 90 % of them are conducted on both of these vertical storage systems. CO2 reduction with Hänel EcoDrive® The high-speed version of the Hänel Lean-Lift® brings items to the access point extremely fast. When the system extractor is descending, kinetic energy is produced – the frequency converter transforms this energy into electricity which is returned to the main power supply. Hänel Lean-Lift® systems that are very high deliver remarkable levels of energy recovery and efficiency thanks to the Hänel EcoDrive® system . Depending on the rate of extractor travel, up to 40 % of the energy required for the upward run can be recovered. Dynamic storage management, simultaneous order picking The web-based communication between the warehouse management software and the storage systems is fast and convenient because only a few commands are required. The client is linked with the storage system control unit, with data communication taking place via TCP/ IP protocols directly within the storage management system, without the need for middleware. Thus the WMS sends all pick and put commands directly to the lift controller, which in turn activates the movements of the storage system extractor. The two storage systems for small parts and the three pallet systems are installed linearly next to each other so that parallel order picking is possible. The WMS is seamlessly integrated in the ABAS ERP system and sends data about each order position to the appropriate terminal at the access point of each storage system. Order jobs can also be controlled remotely from a stationary workplace by scanning a barcode – this sends a signal to the storage system telling it to move the extractor to a specified storage container. The Lean-Lift® then brings the specified container to the access point. The color terminal display highlights the positions of the requested items on the container trays to ensure error-free picking of various parts and components. Furthermore, the WMS enables the operator to conveniently configure the positions on the container using the terminal. Intelligent fire protection Installing sprinklers above the vertical storage systems for fire protection makes little sense because of their enormous height. That’s why Hänel collaborated with a leading fire prevention company to come up with an ingenious system of sprinklers installed along the sides of the storage systems. Each Lean-Lift® was designed with special lift shaft cladding having uniformly spaced lateral holes for the sprinkler jets. Efficient operation, high flexibility and energy savings An automated and space-saving production storage area is absolutely essential for supporting fast warehouse and manufacturing processes at SITEMA. Since Hänel Lean-Lift® systems fully utilize the vertical space available, storage is optimized through high-density utilization of the space above the small system footprint. The smooth and seamless WMS integrated in the client-server architecture guarantees high levels of system availability. Waiting time and routing are considerably reduced through parallel order picking according to the “goods to user” principle. What’s more, extremely high vertical storage systems save enormous amounts of electrical energy in conjunction with Hänel EcoDrive®. The system operator can take care of each pick job step by step System operators can conveniently pull out the pallets, some weighing up to 1,543.24 lbs / 700 kg, using sturdy rails when retrieving metal parts needed to fill orders Very high Hänel Lean-Lift® systems save huge amounts of energy thanks to the Hänel EcoDrive® system The two storage systems for small parts and the three pallet systems are 49.21 ft / 15 m high and installed next to each other for parallel order picking Order jobs can also be controlled remotely from a stationary workplace that sends signals to the storage system

The Hänel Multi-Space The unique 3-axis lift system with energy recovery! Energy recovery with the Hänel EcoDrive® system in the Hänel Multi-Space® at Vogel in Hemer Vogel is an engineering company in Hemer, Germany, which develops and manufactures electric drives and controllers for machinery used in the wire and metal rolling industries. The company also repairs motors, gear units, pumps, transformers and magnets for its customers. Automated high-tech storage The expanding business at the Vogel plant in Hemer requires enormous storage capacity. To keep up with business growth and stay competitive in the future, Vogel decided to expand its site vertically. A shaft extending upward from the basement to the ceiling was erected in the main building to accommodate a Hänel Multi-Space® system comprised of three lift modules. The installation of the high-tech storage solution nearly tripled the space available in the workshop, office and warehouse areas. The lift modules of the Hänel Multi-Space® can be expanded both in height and width. The extractor, which travels both horizontally and vertically, works in much the same way as an automated retrieval device in a high-bay rack and shelf system. With the additional horizontal axis, the requested containers are transported to the access point at maximum speed. The Multi-Space® extends upward through five floors and – with the exception of the third floor – the system is equipped with a front-side access point at each level. Employees from the technical departments have direct access to the material they need. EcoDrive®: efficient drive system for lower energy consumption Lowering energy consumption in the ware- house by using efficient, energy-saving storage systems reduces operating costs and helps protect the environment. The Multi-Space® system at the Vogel plant in Hemer is 82.02 ft / 25 m high and is equipped with Hänel’s integrated EcoDrive® energy feedback unit. A frequency converter transforms the kinetic energy of the descending extractor into electrical energy. That way up to 40 % of the energy used for the upward run of the extractor can be recovered and fed back into the electrical supply system. This energy can be used elsewhere, for example by other Lean-Lifts® in a cluster. Carefully selected, high-quality components bring additional energy savings. High-grade Hänel slider components on the containers minimize friction during storage transactions, which helps save even more energy. Optional smooth-action plastic rollers also help to avoid friction losses. Maximum storage capacity The height-optimized vertical storage provided by the Multi-Space® offers more capacity within the same footprint when compared with conventional storage systems. The system saves up to 60 % of expensive storage space. Sustainable storage of parts, components, and office material in the Hänel Multi-Space®! The requested container is transported quickly to the access point with the user-friendly touchscreen terminal from Hänel. Time spent walking and waiting is drastically reduced in comparison with manual storage solutions The Multi-Space® at Vogel has a height of 82.02ft /25m and is one of the tallest Hänel systems ever built 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 In the event of a fire, a network of pipes fills the entire Hänel Multi-Space® system with nitrogen gas to protect stored items 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

Storage of office supplies Hanel Rotomat® Office Carousels - Providing a workplace for people with visual impairment Hänel Rotomat® office carousels provide a workplace for people with severe visual impairment The Economics Ministry creates specially adapted workplaces for people with disabilities. In this regional authority all the office supplies are organized centrally in a Hänel Rotomat® office carousel. What makes it special, though, is that the task is handled entirely by a person with severe visual impairment. All the office requisites are entered and sorted by category in a computer system with Braille input device. Specific articles can be selected via a search screen. The PC is used simultaneously as a control unit for the Hänel Rotomat® office carousel and brings the requested materials to the retrieval point. For added certainty, the search results and control commands can also be output over a loudspeaker. The different storage locations are marked in Braille additionally at the retrieval point. With all these adaptations, error-free access is ensured even though there is a wide variety of different items in storage. Our partner Dräger & Lienert in Marburg, Germany, in collaboration with Hänel specialists, used "DL Contact Manager" software to develop this feature for workers with vision loss. A safety curtain in front of the carousel prevents the operator from reaching inside accidently while it is running. The Hänel Rotomat® excels not only in terms of barrier-free design, but also with respect to flexibility. The dimensions of the carousel were adapted perfectly to the heritage-protected building so that the available space could be used to best advantage. The optimized partitioning of the carriers with drawer modules and sub-levels allow a wide range of office supplies to be stored compactly in the Hänel Rotomat®. Another barrier-free solution from the Hänel specialists!

More Safety Bypass System Safety Bypass System Hänel Rotomat® storage carousels work reliably and failure-free. If a malfunction should arise, however, Hänel's optional Safety Bypass System comes into effect in certain cases. More Hänel EcoLoad® Hänel EcoLoad® The Hänel Rotomat® also has a smart energy conservation concept – the Hänel EcoLoad®. More Twin-motor design The drive systems of all Hänel Rotomat® carousels are housed inside the carousel casing. This ensures optimal freedom of movement in front of the carousel. Almost all Hänel Rotomat® storage carousels are equipped with twin motors. This guarantees less wear and quieter running. The right and left drive motors are controlled in sync. The simultaneous acceleration and braking of the two drives means that the multifunction carriers are moved without distortion. The twin motor design also ensures optimal balance if the load on the carrier is distributed unevenly. Stable carrier suspension on 4-point sliding carriage principle The Hänel Rotomat® carrier suspension is designed according to the sliding carriage principle so that the carriers are suspended from 4 levers on 4 rollers on left and right. Suspension from 4 levers means that transverse forces are safely absorbed, reducing wear substantially and making running quieter. Safety Bypass System Hänel Rotomat® storage carousels work reliably and failure-free. If a malfunction should arise, however, Hänel's optional Safety Bypass System comes into effect in certain cases. If a light barrier curtain or door switch is defective, for example, the user can continue to operate the Hänel Rotomat® until the Hänel service technician arrives by activating the Safety Bypass System and closing the sliding door. Hänel EcoLoad® Energy-efficient loading The Hänel Rotomat® also has a smart energy conservation concept – the Hänel EcoLoad®. As the Rotomat® works on the principle of rotation, a lot of energy can be saved by ensuring even load distribution. So the load status of the Hänel Rotomat® is continuously monitored. This enables the Hänel microprocessor controller to achieve optimum distribution of the storage items thanks to loading recommendations. If system operators follow the recommendations, the inventory items inside the storage system are kept in nearly perfect balance. As a result, very little energy is required for the rotation movement. When the load is evenly distributed in the Hänel Rotomat® very little energy is required for the rotation movement Weight distribution in the Hänel Rotomat® is measured continuously so that if a load becomes uneven, a relocation of goods is recommended by the Hänel EcoLoad® warning device to optimize energy efficiency Accurate positioning Accurate positioning The Hänel Rotomat® multifunction positioning system MFPS 1 is able to position each level of a carrier with exceptional accuracy when the load is evenly distributed. More Accurate positioning of the shelf levels The Hänel Rotomat® multifunction positioning system MFPS 1 is able to position each level of a carrier with exceptional accuracy when the load is evenly distributed. The intelligent Hänel microprocessor control systems, such as the MP 12 N, also have a brake path monitoring and correction system installed which records any push-on effect caused by a high load imbalance and carries out a correction when the carousel starts up again. New stop positions can be programmed easily with the teach-in process. Each retrieval level is precisely positioned and can be individually adjusted via the control unit

Agriculture machinery spare parts storage with batch picking Baywa AG - Automated Storage Systems for Agriculture Machinery Automated storage systems are not just a way of saving money – they are also key to the success of corporate planning. To enable the company to respond flexibly to the changing volume of goods and reduce warehousing costs, BayWa AG installed a Rotomat® vertical storage carousel from Hänel in its central spare parts warehouse in Schweinfurt. The automated “goods to user” order picking ensures that spare and wear parts for a variety of sub-assemblies needed in the agricultural, forestry and municipal sectors are brought swiftly to the retrieval point. The Rotomat® can also be integrated into a system cluster to handle future requirements. BayWa AG is far more than just a retail company. It is a global corporation with about 17,000 employees and headquarters in Munich, and has generated steady growth for years. Its core competences include trading, logistics and supplementary services in the market segments of agriculture, construction and energy. The agricultural segment in turn has several sub-divisions. The Technology Division covers all the value creation stages of agricultural machinery apart from manufacturing. The product portfolio ranges from farming and forestry technology, including modern milking and feeding systems, to municipal equipment, the building of stables, barn equipment, and various systems for producing renewable energy such as biogas, through to specialist agricultural equipment with all the spare parts involved. The central spare parts warehouse in Schweinfurt is responsible for managing some 85,000 different items for specialist technology needs in agriculture, forestry and municipal applications along with spare parts for agricultural machinery and municipal vehicles, all of which are kept in more than 100,000 storage slots. Around 30 employees supply more than 230 workshops and over 500 mobile service vehicles as well as end customers directly. Vertical carousel provides fast access to spares for agricultural machinery and municipal vehicles Service has top priority at BayWa. The Head of Logistics at the central spare parts warehouse, Uwe Riegel, explains: “If we get an urgent order for a replacement part to service agricultural machinery or to repair a harvesting or municipal vehicle, we can guarantee delivery the next day. For fast access to our huge range of about 6,000 different small parts, we use the reliable and compact Rotomat® storage system from Hänel.” The multifunction carriers on the shelves of the Rotomat® carousel offer variable interior fittings to hold the different spare parts. Intermediate shelves and movable dividers can be inserted into punched slot grids so that the carriers can be individually adapted. With two removable intermediate shelves on each of the 22 multifunction carriers, it has been possible to create 66 shelf levels in the carousel. On each level there are 24 storage bins which are subdivided into smaller compartments with cross dividers and each assigned a barcode. This means there are about 1,500 storage bins in which parts are safely protected from light and dust; these parts include spares for carburetors, small transmission components, seals and spark plugs from Stihl or Bosch and spares for harvesters and tractors from brands such as Massey Ferguson and Fendt which belong to the US corporation AGCO Parts. With its compact design and by utilizing the full height of the warehouse, the carousel was able to reduce the storage footprint from over 120 square meters to just a few square meters. In this way, costly storage space has been saved and thanks to the fast “goods to user” order picking based on the Ferris wheel principle, picking times have been significantly reduced. Moreover, the entire inventory of small parts is safely stored in the closed carousel. Optimized and reliable batch picking The Hänel storage carousel is impressive because it takes up so little space and also because of the great flexibility and transparency of all the processes. Currently order picking is carried out in batch mode. The orders are printed out on the label printer. Using the barcode scanner connected via USB interface, the order data on a label are scanned into the BayWa network and electronically recorded in the SAP storage management system in Munich. At the touch of a button, the items in a pick list are brought to the retrieval point in the most efficient sequence in one direction of rotation. Uwe Riegel explains: “With the Ethernet interface, the carousel storage system can also be controlled directly from the SAP system. The technical implementation of this seamless integration into our IT system is to take place soon. Then manual control via keypad will no longer be necessary. At the present time we handle on average up to 600 pick orders in batch mode within eight hours each day.” When the barcode on a label is scanned, the scanner display shows not only the order data along with the quantity and item number or name, but also the carousel level, storage box and compartment. If the storage position is scanned, SAP confirms whether the right position has been accessed or not. And following retrieval, the picker confirms the quantity of articles retrieved by entering a figure on the scanner keypad. This quantity is then checked by the storage management system in SAP, thus offering a second level of security. In the next step the collected items are packed in plastic bags, labeled and assigned to the right pick order in the dispatch department. Thanks to the transparent storage procedures and high access speeds of the vertical carousel, individual small components are quickly found and can be delivered at top speed. The transparent storage management in SAP has reduced inventory discrepancies and thereby lowered warehousing costs. Moreover, with the reliable and transparent order picking processes in the storage management system of the SAP host system, inventory discrepancies in the small parts storeroom have also been eliminated and thereby costs reduced. At the touch of a button, the items are picked from successive storage locations in the most efficient sequence in one direction of rotation. Some 85,000 items for specialist technology needs as well as spare and wear parts for the agriculture, forestry and municipal sectors are kept in over 100,000 storage slots in the central spare parts warehouse. Using the barcode scanner, the order data on a label are scanned into the BayWa network and electronically recorded in the SAP storage management system in Munich.

Clean-Room Rotomat for Wafer Production At its site in Lenzburg, ABB Switzerland optimizes its production processes with an automated vertical carousel which stores blank wafers for electronic semiconductor components in the clean-room. Automated order picking systems are becoming increasingly indispensable. A Rotomat specially developed by Hänel for the clean room in Lenzburg increases storage capacity. The range of products offered by ABB in the energy and automation sector is enormous. Among other things, the Group develops and manufactures products ranging from high-voltage switchgear to microscopic high-performance semiconductors. ABB develops, produces and markets power grid systems, wafers and high-performance semiconductors at the Lenzburg site. No gaps, no roughness The purpose of the clean room is to prevent the adhesion of particles in any phase of operations. Eustachio Faggiano, ABB process engineer: "The vertical carousel developed by Hänel specially for the clean room has no burrs or crevices. The surfaces are smooth and can be cleaned easily with isopropyl solutions." Faggiano is the manager responsible for the Hänel CleanStore Rotomat® installed in the clean room. The storage system complies with Clean-Room Class 5 in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14644-1 with Filter Class HEPA H14. A journal of the measured values can be kept with data loggers. Hänel developed the high-tech storage solution as a closed system. The double-wall design allows the air to be cleaned through a filter inside the vertical carousel. This ensures that no particles find their way into the clean room. Faggiano: “Once the calotte carriers are loaded with wafers, they are stored in the Rotomat® CleanStore until they are taken to the evaporation chamber. The wafers must not be allowed to come into contact with particles in this interim phase." The empty calottes must not be contaminated by dust particles either. So they are also kept in the vertical carousel. The space-saving Hänel Rotomat® CleanStore is a solution used in the electronics and semiconductor industry, as well as in the medical engineering sector. At ABB the wafer calottes used to be stored in a conventional rack system.

100 Years Gerhard Hänel An entrepreneur of distinction Gerhard Hänel devoted his whole life... Gerhard Hänel devoted his whole life... The youngest of four siblings, Gerhard Hänel was born in Lauter, Saxony, on June 30th, 1909. A fresh start in Bad Friedrichshall A fresh start in Bad Friedrichshall At the start of the ’50s Gerhard Hänel went to West Germany on business. The Hanel Paternoster The Hänel vertical carousel – an ingenious principle In 1957 he was the first person in Europe to series-produce filing carousels designed according to the Ferris wheel principle. A leader – an inspiration Memories from the perspective of a contemporary For almost 40 years I had the privilege of accompanying Gerhard Hänel through his professional life – 7 years as a business associate and 33 working for him directly. . The youngest of four siblings, Gerhard Hänel was born in Lauter, Saxony, on June 30th, 1909. His parents owned a grocery store and the familyprospered. When he was 13 his father died and his mother had to bring up the 4 children alone. Even so, they never had to go without. At the age of 14 he became a locksmith‘s apprentice, at 20 he finished his engineering studies, and soon he found a job at a well-known company in Hessen producing steel furniture. In 1933 when he was 24 years old he became self-employed, setting up business on his parents‘ property with borrowed money. At first it was a one-man operation, until he got together the facilities for building steel furniture by renovating used machinery and building his own paintshop, drying furnace and power generator. However, he was not given approval to operate a spot-welding machine from the mains power network. ‘That was the first punch below the belt I received from the authorities.’ Quotation from G. Hänel In 1936 Gerhard Hänel married his first wife Hilde, but she was unfortunately killed in an accident in 1949. This marriage produced his daughter Ingrid and son Gerd. In the neighboring town of Neuwelt he found a large plot of land, this time with a power current connection, on Talstraße close to the railway. He moved into the new building in 1939. With the start of the war, steel was rationed and he also had to look around for new customers. He developed and produced metal containers for the safe transport of highly sensitive optical devices for the company of Zeiss-Jena and its subsidiary plants. ‘With the lack of sheet steel, there was only one slogan: Make new out of old.’ Quotation from G. Hänel An economy of scarcity prevailed in Germany in the post-war years, so he attached a follow-on tool to a long bending press, used it to slit open empty bomb casings and recrafted them into sheet metal blanks. The parts were then annealed and formed into new utility objects. Frying pans were extremely popular, as were other items such as clips for preserving jars. bild Gerhard Hänel‘s first production hall in Schwarzenberg-Neuwelt Graduation certificates (grade: Excellent) from the Zwickau Engineering School in 1929 text At the start of the ’50s Gerhard Hänel went to West Germany on business. It was here that he met his second wife Liselotte. After the wedding she accompanied her husband to East Germany where their first son Michael was born in 1951. ‘But with all the duplication of work, I always yearned for the free West and my former customers, who were now experiencing a revival.’ Quotation from G. Hänel Gerhard Hänel saw no commercial future in East Germany and sought a new opening in the West. This was where their second son Joachim was born in 1953. By 1952 he had relocated with his wife Liselotte to Stuttgart where Liselotte‘s parents lived and one year later started ‘from scratch’ in Bad Friedrichshall. Working from what he called a ‘wooden shed’ he built mobile cupboards and hairdressers’ cabinets. Business expanded quickly. Then one day when Gerhard Hänel saw some automated office carousels in an American brochure he thought: ‘I can do that.’ Gerhard bild2 Gerhard Hänel with his wife Liselotte and their two sons Michael and Joachim The first production building in Bad Friedrichshall text2 In 1957 he was the first person in Europe to series-produce filing carousels designed according to the Ferris wheel principle. His nephew Karl-Bruno Hänel supported him as Plant Manager from the very beginning, helping to put his ideas and developments into practice. The Hänel filing carousels were distributed through a renowned vendor of hanging folders until the end of the ‘60s. By 1958, following the purchase of a plot of land, he was able to increase output in a newly built production hall. With demand increasing steadily, production was expanded further in 1968, and another manufacturing plant was set up in Wiesentheid. In the same year he also founded the Hänel Gear Factory, which was initially installed at the company headquarters then moved into its own building three years later. In 1971 the first Hänel filing carousel was sold under the name of ‘Mikros’ as the Hänel company‘s own product. Thanks to Gerhard Hänel‘s continuous refinement of the Ferris wheel principle, he was soon able to add heavy-duty vertical carousels for industrial use to his product portfolio. The Hänel Rotomat® industrial carousels were born. 1972 saw the laying of the foundation stone for Hänel Plant 3 in Altstätten, Switzerland. Now Kurt Velmeke was successfully expanding sales and Dieter Carl promoting the export of Hänel Rotomat® carousels. Branches were established in the US, France and the Netherlands. At the age of 65 he handed over the management of the company to his two sons. The company of Hänel Office and Industrial Storage Systems has remained in the hands of the Hänel family since it was founded. But in Gerhard Hänel‘s view, this was no reason to take things easy. At 85 years of age he still played a decisive role in the development and production of the Hänel Lean-Lift® with vertical lift technology. Among other things he invented the Hänel profile wall. By doing so he set new standards in intralogistics. This ingenious design is still the basis for the reliability and durability of the Hänel Lean-Lift® and the Hänel Multi-Space® which was launched in 2005. With his business vision, Gerhard Hänel turned Hänel Office and Industrial Storage Systems into a globally active company with distributors in over 60 countries. Today Hänel Office and Industrial Storage Systems remains the world‘s oldest existing manufacturer of vertical carousels for the office! text3 For almost 40 years I had the privilege of accompanying Gerhard Hänel through his professional life – 7 years as a business associate and 33 working for him directly. Initially I came into contact with Mr. Hänel as his customer when I was working as Sales Manager for a renowned vendor of filing equipment. He supplied us with index-card and filing paternosters for resale purposes. During my many encounters with Mr. Hänel, I came to appreciate his straightforwardness, his technical expertise and his sincere and courteous manner. Mr. Hänel was not satisfied with simply producing systems to customer specification. He simultaneously developed an innovative range of card-index and filing carousels on his own initiative. These attracted a great deal of attention worldwide because of their revolutionary technology and cutting-edge design. Following the death of the owner of the company that had been his main customer, there was a gradual cessation of dealings between the two firms. Mr. Hänel wanted to detach himself from such dependencies so that he could later hand over to his sons a flourishing business with its own sales division. The second phase of my association with Mr. Hänel began on April 1st, 1971, when I came to work for him directly. When his company started its own sales activities, Mr. Hänel had two administrative employees in the in-house sales department and myself as Sales Manager. His entrepreneurial thinking, combined with an aptitude for incisive and quick decision-making, ensured a healthy, continuous upward trend. We worked together for 33 years – a long period which shaped me professionally and personally. On the rare occasions that our opinions differed, the debate always took place objectively without once escalating to the personal level. Gerhard Hänel had an exceptional ability to promote the company‘s interests in a goal-oriented way using his outstanding leadership qualities, while at the same time showing his employees their value and constantly motivating them in their shared tasks. Can there be any better résumé of one‘s life than to say: “Je ne regrette rien“. If I had to choose again today, I would without hesitation opt for the enlightening and personally fulfilling years I worked with Mr. Gerhard Hänel. Kurt Velmeke I couldn‘t have done it all... ‘I couldn‘t have done it all without my wife’ A swim early in the morning and then again in the evening – that‘s how Gerhard Hänel kept fit. . . . . . . . text4 ‘Ohne meine Frau hätte ich das alles nicht geschafft’ A swim early in the morning and then again in the evening – that‘s how Gerhard Hänel kept fit. He didn‘t need any other leisure activities: “The shop floor is my hobby”. Gerhard Hänel was a very disciplined person. “Moderation in all things” was his principle in life. Liselotte Hänel was a vital support to her husband throughout his life, both at home and at work. “If I hadn‘t had this woman as my life companion,” said Gerhard Hänel, “I couldn‘t have done it all”.

Kurt Velmeke ‘Man of the first hour’ Even before joining Hänel, Kurt Velmeke came into contact with the company founder Gerhard Hänel as a customer while working as sales manager for a renowned manufacturer of filing equipment. On 1 April 1971 Mr. Velmeke took up his new post and since then has been personally responsible for building the in-house and external sales force that distributes Hänel Rotomat® office carousels in Germany and abroad. At the end of the 70‘s Hänel developed the first heavyduty vertical carousels for industry with payload capacities up to 10 tons. This again increased Mr. Velmeke‘s area of responsibility. Customers were won from all branches of industry throughout the world, and almost all of them have remained satisfied Hänel customers to this day. The launch of the Hänel Lean-Lift® with vertical technology in the 90‘s was also successfully promoted by Kurt Velmeke‘s sales activities. Thanks to his support, the Hänel company today is one of the world‘s leading manufacturers of automated storage systems with distributors in over 60 countries. Mr. Velmeke has headed up sales for Germany and the Netherlands for almost 40 years. We take this opportunity to thank him for his commitment and valuable, pioneering service, and wish him and his team of over 40 staff continued success in the future. Joachim Hänel congratulates Kurt Velmeke on his 35th anniversary at the company

Hänel Storage Systems Announces Relocation of US Headquarters Pittsburgh, PA – 15. September 2020 – Hänel Storage Systems , a leader in the manufacture and integration of automated vertical storage units, has been serving customers from its subsidiary in Pittsburgh with great success for more than 30 years. Today Hänel announced that it will relocate its US headquarters to new facilities in Warrendale, PA. The newly constructed building will support the company’s anticipated future growth and provide greater capacity for collaboration and teamwork. The move is scheduled to take place in September, and the company’s first official business day at the new location will be October 12. “Our employees have always been the key to our business success, and this new facility will provide a welcoming environment for years to come,” said Brian Cohen, Chief Executive. “This building is a direct result of hard work and the continued high demand for our products we have experienced unprecedented growth over the past several years to allow us to make this move.” The new headquarters in Thorn Hill Industrial Park in Warrendale will house the company’s Pittsburgh-based staff, and will be the central point of contact for remote employees and a network of 90 distribution partners located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Colombia. It will also feature a Demo Center to showcase Hänel technology. The Hänel Demo Center will contain five Lean-Lift® vertical lift modules, two Rotomat® vertical carousels and one ColdCell Rotomat® refrigerated vertical carousel. These automated storage and retrieval systems condense several warehouse racks into a minimal footprint, by making use of available room height. In addition to functioning as showcase machines, these units will also serve their intended purpose to reduce the amount of dedicated warehouse floor space, by storing spare parts, project files, literature, office supplies and other materials. If not for Hänel’s vertical storage units to house these items, the facility’s warehouse would need to be 80 percent larger. Visitors to the facility will be greeted by a 20-foot-tall Lean-Lift®, a system that is best for storing items of varying height. The lift automatically measures the height of items on each shelf, and they are stored away in the ideal location inside the unit. This eliminates wasted space between shelves, and maximizes space utilization at all times. The lobby unit will have clear plexiglass sides, so visitors can view its internal mechanisms. About Hänel Storage Systems Founded in Germany in 1953, Hänel’s North American headquarters has been located in Pittsburgh, PA since it was established in 1984 Hänel Storage Systems specializes in the design and engineering of Rotomat® vertical storage carousels and Lean-Lift® Vertical Lift Modules for a wide range of industries and applications. Hänel provides sales, service and technical support to North and South America through a network of factory-trained channel partners and service providers. Introduced in 1957, the Hänel Rotomat® Vertical Carousel is based on the Ferris Wheel principle. Inventory is stored in a series of carriers that rotate within an enclosed unit and are accessed at a single opening. This vertical “goods to the user” concept improves productivity, lowers costs, increases security and saves valuable floor space. Introduced in 1994, the Hänel Lean-Lift® Vertical Lift Module stores inventory on trays that are automatically measured for height each time they enter the unit. A vertical extractor places each tray within the unit in a location that maximizes available storage space. Trays can be equipped with dividers, totes, bins and specialized holders to store any type of inventory.

Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG, Daimlerstraße 14, 78532 Tuttlingen, Germany Optimized material flow for production and distribution with seven Hänel Rotomat® storage systems The seamless connection of the HänelSoft®-N to the proALPHA ERP system increases the efficiency and precision of the daily picking process Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG is a familyowned company based in Tuttlingen, Germany. Active worldwide, Leibinger manufactures labeling and marking systems. The company’s strategy focuses on continuously improving its internal processes. Innovative intralogistics solutions play a key role in this strategy. Leibinger’s main plant employs a total of seven Hänel Rotomat® storage systems. The dispatch department utilizes two of the systems for the worldwide distribution of its spare parts. Five further Hänel Rotomat® storage systems form the core of the central production storage and serve the various production lines. The carousels are more than six meters high, providing a sustainable solution which maximizes storage space while maintaining the smallest possible footprint. Efficient logistics through connection to the company ERP system All of the site’s Hänel Rotomat® storage systems run the modern HänelSoft®-N warehouse management software. The software connects the lifts directly to proALPHA, the ERP system used throughout the company. This tried and tested integration forms the foundation for the efficient storage strategy as the ERP system constantly maintains an up-to-date record of all stock movements and inventories. Paul Leibinger benefits from highly reliable inventory management and intelligent storage strategies such as first-in, firstout (FIFO). The storage systems are not only capable of storing and retrieving a wide variety of items, they also create an intelligently coordinated intralogistics solution which simplifies and optimizes complex warehouse processes. This is why the Hänel carousels have become an integral part of Leibinger’s warehouse management system. The flexibility of the system was a key aspect of the company’s decision to invest in Hänel intralogistics solutions. The Hänel carousel system in the small parts warehouse utilizes its system advantages to the fullest Five Hänel Rotomat® storage systems located directly adjacent to the production organize numerous components ranging from small parts to larger assemblies and also supply the assembly department. Hänel’s Rotomat® storage system is the ideal basis. The compact design of the ceiling-high lift systems makes effective use of the full height of the room, creating maximum storage capacity with the smallest possible footprint. In addition, the entire small parts range is available in the immediate vicinity of the assembly department. The enclosed structure of the Hänel Rotomat® storage system protects the small parts against dust, dirt, and unauthorized access. This aspect is especially important when it comes to delicate or valuable parts. The storage spaces on Hänel’s multifunctional carriers can be individually configured to hold a wide variety of small part sizes and shapes. This enables Paul Leibinger’s warehouse staff to flexibly organize the Hänel lift while saving storage space. Five ceiling-high Hänel Rotomat® storage systems form the central production warehouse for the adjacent production lines The user-friendly HänelSoft®-N software even enables warehouse staff to efficiently compile items from complex picking orders using the Hänel carousels The entire inventory is centrally managed via proALPHA while HänelSoft®-N organizes all orders and stock movements ... ... which are then transferred directly to the lift controllers and picked in accordance with the FIFO principle The components required for the production orders are ergonomically arranged on the lift worktop Efficiency and ergonomics in the production warehouse thanks to the Hänel Rotomat® The Hänel Rotomat® enables the fast and automated storage and picking of small parts. The parts are removed at an ergonomic height, minimizing the physical demands on employees, especially when they need to access the storage system frequently. The combination of high-performance carousel and intelligent software connection optimizes the daily warehouse operations at Paul Leibinger. All picking orders throughout the company are managed via the proALPHA ERP system. This ERP system documents the corresponding lift number and storage location for every item. Individual orders containing specific items can be created to meet all of the requirements from the assembly department. To achieve optimum performance when compiling the items, the orders are combined in HänelSoft®-N to create collective orders with optimized paths. These are then available for retrieval on all Hänel lift controllers. The employees scan their collection bins on the picking trolley, enabling them to effortlessly start the respective order. Easy and intuitive operation on the Hänel controller A display located directly where the goods are stored shows extensive information about the item, quantity, and storage location. As soon as the removal of an item has been acknowledged, the storage system automatically moves the multifunctional carrier to the removal point with the next item. Once all items within a lift have been processed, the employee moves on to the next Rotomat® and continues completing the picking order. This approach enables employees to rapidly put together diverse orders for the assembly department. Employees also benefit from the ergonomic provision of items thanks to this system-guided approach. Most of the components are stored in pull-out storage boxes and can be picked directly from the lift worktop. Optimized shipping process ensures high customer satisfaction Two additional Hänel Rotomat® storage systems in the dispatch department provide an enormous amount of storage space for goods and spare parts ready for shipping. The proALPHA system also organizes all picking orders on these lifts. The Hänel MP 14 N controller’s 12-inch touchscreen display offers the greatest ease of use during the system-optimized job processing via the HänelSoft® N user interface. The resulting performance and accuracy of the shipping process has permanently increased customer satisfaction at Paul Leibinger. The long-term cooperation with Hänel demonstrates how Paul Leibinger continues to strengthen its position as an innovative manufacturer through the use of advanced storage solutions while also implementing the ideal foundation to tackle future challenges. By introducing the Hänel Rotomat® storage lifts, Paul Leibinger vastly increased its storage capacity while simultaneously optimizing its efficiency in two key areas thanks to the seamless ERP integration. Confirmation of item removal via the Hänel MP 12 N controller enables all items in an order to be processed step-by-step. The Hänel Rotomat® is the ideal solution for organizing small parts and can be equipped with a diverse range of loading aids for each specific situation The Hänel MP 14 N controller’s display provides users with all of the relevant order information via HänelSoft®-N In addition, the order is path optimized and all items can then be ergonomically picked at the removal point of the Hänel Rotomat® storage system HänelSoft®-N systematically allocates storage locations for thousands of small parts clearly and compactly organized in storage boxes The dispatch department focuses on efficiency – two Hänel Rotomat® storage systems offer maximum storage capacity with the minimum footprint for the goods and spare parts ready for shipping "Using Hänel storage systems has decisively optimized our work processes. We benefit from fast shipping as well as the enormous amount of space saved by the Hänel carousels. The excellent price-performance ratio of the HänelSoft®-N is impressive."

The Hänel EcoConcept An innovation that sets the standard! Energy-efficient systems are the key to lowering energy consumption in your warehouse The effective energy consumption of automated material and file handling systems has a major impact on operating costs, amortization and not least on environmental protection. For this reason we have always placed great emphasis on continually optimizing the energy efficiency of our storage systems. This brings our customers many benefits, both from an economic and an ecological perspective! At the CeMAT trade fair in 2008, Hänel demonstrated its pioneering role in the industry by unveiling Hänel EcoDrive® , the first component in the Hänel EcoConcept. The built-in frequency converter in EcoDrive® converts the kinetic energy of the descending extractor into electrical energy and feeds it back into the electrical supply system. This enables up to 40 % of the energy required by the storage system to be recovered, depending on the rate of travel. Since its introduction, many customers have opted for this energy regeneration technology when ordering Hänel Lean-Lift® and Hänel Multi-Space® storage systems. In fact, the number of storage systems sold with Hänel EcoLoad® has doubled since 2011. Another great success story is the Hänel EcoMode® system. Continuous monitoring of the load situation in the Rotomat® and adherence to the storage recommendations ensures that an even load distribution is achieved. As a result, only minimal energy is needed to start the storage carousel rotating. In 2013, 60 % of all the Hänel Rotomat® industrial storage carousels sold were equipped with this technology. And the sales figures for Hänel EcoMode® also continue to climb. With this standby technology, all systems that consume energy, even when at standstill, are closed down by the control system in 4 EcoMode® levels (energy-saving levels). This reduces the energy consumption of the Hänel storage systems to a minimum when they are not being used. We are very happy to see that more and more of our customers are selecting systems that contribute to sustainability. The Hänel EcoConcept – For the sake of the environment! All 4 Lean-Lift® systems at AIV in Heilbronn are equipped with Hänel EcoDrive®. Articles are scanned by barcode reader before being placed in storage.

The Hänel EcoConcept Energy-efficient systems are the key to lowering energy consumption in your warehouse The effective energy consumption of automated material and file handling systems has a major impact on operating costs, amortization and not least on environmental protection. For this reason we have always placed great emphasis on continually optimizing the energy efficiency of our storage systems. This brings our customers many benefits, both from an economic and an ecological perspective! Optimizing the energy balance with intelligent concepts The goal of continually optimizing the energy balance of the Hänel storage systems is a challenge we embrace every day. Under the heading Hänel EcoConcept we constantly develop components that contribute to improving energy efficiency. EcoDrive® The built-in frequency converter converts the kinetic energy of the descending extractor into electrical energy and feeds it back into the electrical supply system. This enables up to 40% of the required energy to be recovered depending on the rate of travel. Animation Hänel EcoDrive® EcoLoad® Continuous monitoring of the load situation in the Rotomat® and adherence to the storage recommendations ensures that an even load distribution is achieved. This means only minimal energy is needed to start the storage carousel rotating. Animation Hänel EcoLoad® EcoMode® All systems that consume energy even when in standby mode are closed down by the control system in 4 EcoMode® levels (energy-saving levels). This reduces the energy intake of the Hänel storage systems to a minimum when they are not being used. Animation Hänel EcoMode® The efficient design principle: Hänel Lean-Lift® The Hänel Lean-Lift® stores all items in height-optimized positions, which ensures extremely compact storage in a minimum of space. This optimal use of storage area inevitably results in energy savings. Hänel Rotomat® The vertical carousel principle of the Hänel Rotomat® is energy-efficient in its very design. Using the Hänel EcoLoad® system makes sure the weight distribution inside the Rotomats® is balanced out. As a result of this, very little energy is required for a rotation or travel movement. And of course the unit always picks the shortest route automatically. Design optimization Careful selection of high-quality components and technologies brings more energy savings. Energy-efficient drive systems Motors controlled by frequency converter use considerably less energy than drives powered directly from the mains and running at full load.

In Solutions by Lumietri for Intralogistics Solutions Hanel Storage Systems Channel Partner in Mexico Since 2002 In Solutions can now look back on 28 years of business success. The company has made a name for itself in the Mexican market with Hänel intralogistics solutions. In Solutions by Lumietri was founded in 1997 as a supplier of products for the infrastructure, signal technology and cargo security of the public railroad system in Mexico. Over time the company also branched out to include materials handling and intralogistics solutions in its portfolio. As this business continued to grow, In Solutions soon established initial contacts with Hänel Storage Systems in the USA. In Solutions was impressed by Hänel vertical storage technology Jaime Valdés, President of In Solutions, was very impressed by the vertical lift concept – so much so that the company became a Hänel Channel Partner in 2002. Hänel and In Solutions are now established names in the Mexican market, and the successful business relationship continues to thrive and grow. Mike Fanning, Director of Sales and Marketing at Hänel in the USA, had one piece of advice for In Solutions: “Once you sell your first Lean-Lift® or Rotomat® system, you can be sure that business will really take off after that.” Those words marked the beginning of a great partnership. In the meantime In Solutions has been on a steady and successful course in Mexico, with a business model based on a hightech product that delivers outstanding reliability. To date the company has installed more than 150 storage systems throughout the country. A Hänel Rotomat® industrial carousel was first exhibited at the Intra Logistics Latin America trade fair in Mexico City. Afterwards the system was transported to the In Solutions site in Verónica Anzures. Since then the company’s accounting and service departments have relied on their own Hänel Rotomat® 500–900. What’s more, prospective customers can visit In Solutions in Mexico City to see Hänel technology in action. In Solutions is a highly qualified partner when it comes to fast, safe, secure and efficient automated storage solutions. By providing its customers with Hänel systems, In Solutions has sustainably boosted the growth of well-known business enterprises in Mexico thanks to the benefits delivered by compact vertical lifts and vertical storage carousels. In Solutions is looking forward to new opportunities as it continues to expand its market presence in partnership with Hänel.

Hänel Lean-Lift® with VendiShelf-System Safe and secure retrieval with the Hänel Lean-Lift® For some time now Hänel has offered a vertical carousel for safe and secure retrieval – the Lockomat®. The compartment doors, which are closed automatically or manually, protect the storage goods from unauthorized access. Now the developers have succeeded in creating a similar system for the Hänel Lean-Lift®. The Hänel VendiShelf system allows small to medium-sized items to be stored on the container in lockable compartments with automatic release. Only the requested item can be removed, all the other compartments remain locked. An LED indicates instantly which compartment the requested item is stored in. Different compartment sizes and heights are available, offering maximum flexibility. Existing Lean-Lifts® can of course have the VendiShelf system retrofitted without any difficulty. This innovative product won the Innovations for Logistics Prize 2010 in Poland.

Hänel Precision Gears Quality that speaks for itself The company, which belongs to the Hänel Group, continually generates new ideas and technical innovations for future-oriented, customized gear production. Modern archiving and management of design drawings and customer documentation ensure smooth production processes. That's why Hänel Precision Gears relies on efficient storage technology from Hänel Office and Storage Systems. For example, large volumes of documents are archived and readily available in a space-saving Hänel Rotomat® office carousel. A Hänel Lean-Lift® is also used in manufacturing. This system neatly stores the tools needed in the factory. The containers are fitted with special holders to ensure optimal storage of various cutting, grinding and milling tool attachments. Employees always have quick and easy access to precisely the tools they need. The Hänel Lean-Lift® also saves space and safeguards tools from dirt and dust.

Hänel industrial storage systems with digital information and location display With its new digital information and location display, Hänel offers yet another system for finding the required storage goods more easily and quickly. Not only does the new digital information and location display indicate where the requested item is, but it also gives additional information about the item and its storage location in direct proximity to them. Article names, article numbers or supplementary data on the order are displayed right at the storage location. Input can be made at the information and location display via touchscreen. Retrieval is confirmed directly on the location display. This is particularly useful on very wide storage systems as it eliminates long walking distances and can save time. Not only the Hänel Lean-Lift® but also the Hänel Rotomat® industrial carousel and the Hänel Multi-Space® can be fitted with the digital information and location display.

Hänel Storage Systems' Vertical Carousel and Lift Systems are Used Worldwide Hänel Storage Systems is a manufacturer of automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS). Its two primary products are the Rotomat® vertical carousel and Lean-Lift® vertical lift module. These machines are powered by industry leading microprocessor control systems, as well as proprietary software that easily interfaces with customers’ host ERP, MRP or WMS systems. OnRAMP talked to Brian Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Hänel, to learn more about the company, key trends and ever-evolving supply chains. OnRAMP: Can you give us the elevator pitch for Hänel? Tell us about your core products and services. Brian Cohen: Hänel customers invest in our systems to take advantage of solutions they provide for materials storage and inventory management. Our solutions allow Hänel customers to do five things: 1. Recover vast amounts of floor space, up to 80%, by eliminating rows of conventional static shelving, pallet racks and modular drawer cabinets. Hänel units have a very small footprint, yet utilize the full height of any facility up to 80’ and deliver the stored items automatically when requested. We help customers utilize their unused overhead space, to store more in less space. 2. Increase employee productivity by adding automation to the picking process, which eliminates the need for workers to walk long distances, climb ladders and search for items to restock or pick. In other words, the existing staff can do a significant amount of extra activity in less time, OR fewer workers are required to complete the current tasks. We help customers to do more in less time, with fewer people. 3. Improve inventory control by utilizing onboard, high-performance inventory management systems that are standard and out-of-the-box with every Hänel system. Inventory can be tracked by SKU, description, quantity, description, FIFO, minimum levels and even a photo database. We help customers improve the accuracy of their inventory to over 99%, and eliminate overstocks, shortages and expired items. 4. Increase security or limit access to stored inventory using electronic or mechanical systems that provide an automatic audit trail of activity. Access can be limited to specific inventory or by specific personnel, via secure areas that require unique log-in credentials. We help customers know who signed out items and when, reduce picking/stocking errors and theft, and protect inventory from possible contamination. 5. Improve workplace ergonomics, since all inventory stored in Hänel systems is delivered to a safe, waist-height level in accordance with OSHA recommendations. No more bending down to pick up heavy items from bottom shelves, reaching up to access bulky items stored above, or climbing ladders. This significantly reduces repetitive muscular injuries, because all product is delivered to the same ergonomically correct location every time. By investing in Hänel automated vertical storage systems, customers solve many inventory management problems while saving a significant amount of money in the process, for a near-instant return on investment.

Efficient production of building materials with label storage in vertical lift system Knauf is a family business based in Iphofen, Germany, and is one of the leading producers of building materials and construction systems in Europe. It uses a Hänel Lean-Lift® to store 895,000 labels for around 1,000 chemical products manufactured for the construction industry, taking up a footprint of merely ten square meters. With height-optimized container storage, the entire space from floor to ceiling is used, thus freeing up costly floor space. The area gained as a result of the Hänel Lean-Lift's® compact design means a substantial reduction in the fixed costs of label storage. The plant manager for building products, Matthias Leopoldsberger, says: "As the number of multi-lingual product labels increased, manual storage and retrieval from the shelves became progressively more complicated and time-consuming. To meet growing demands, we urgently needed a more efficient storage system, because if items were placed on the wrong shelf, a lot of time was lost searching for the right labels." With the installation of a separate Hänel Rotomat® carousel, the inventory management of the code labels for paint products was optimized at the same time. Hänel Lean-Lift® optimizes label storage The Hänel Lean-Lift® was installed next to a bucket labeling machine, as about 40 percent of the labels it holds are intended for buckets containing chemicals for the building industry. Whenever just-in-time production requires changes, the system can respond flexibly. Thanks to the transparent processes and reliable '"goods-to-user" order picking, it is possible to guarantee high product quality with the necessary quality control based on batch traceability. Moreover, inside the Hänel Lean-Lift® all the labels are protected from light, dust and dirt. In this way Hänel's vertical lift system acts as a versatile link in the chain of production rather than just a buffer storage unit. Optimum integration, maximum flexibility To keep the travel distances in the system as short as possible, the labels for the building materials are grouped together on specific containers according to frequency of access. Labels subject to frequent pick and put operations are stored close to the access point. Clear, coordinated allocation of storage positions means that labels are quickly found and valuable time is saved in the order picking process. "The Hänel Lean-Lift® gives us a clear overview, and has finally put an end to laborious searching for the right labels. And all inventory discrepancies have been completely eliminated," adds a satisfied Matthias Leopoldsberger. Maximum flexibility and inventory control are guaranteed by Hänel's integrated storage management system. By integrating the Hänel vertical storage lift in the production process, Knauf has achieved higher retrieval speeds and a significant increase in productivity. The Lean-Lift® is consequently the optimal link between storage and production. Safety, ergonomics, service To retrieve the required product, the operator enters a direct request on the Hänel microprocessor controller. The article is then transported automatically to the access point for retrieval at an ergonomic height. This prevents strain injuries and work accidents. The Lean-Lift® and the Rotomat® from Hänel provide greater protection and safety, both for the operators and also for the labels in storage. To ensure continuous availability over three shifts a day, the preventive servicing carried out by Hänel is particularly important. A total of 895,000 product labels in up to ten different languages are stored compactly in the Hänel Lean-Lift®. The labels are easy to find in the storage bins that keep them protected from light, dust and dirt. A separate Hänel Rotomat® carousel was installed to optimize inventory management of the code labels for paint products. The height-optimized storage of the 37 containers makes use of the entire space, from floor to ceiling, on a minimal footprint.

Karl-Bruno Hänel In Memoriam Kurt Velmeke remembers a loyal and dedicated colleague – excerpt from the eulogy for Karl-Bruno Hänel Karl-Bruno Hänel September 3, 1934 – June 24, 2014 Karl-Bruno Hänel was associated with Hänel Office and Storage Systems from the company’s very beginning. In 1957, Hänel was the first manufacturer in Europe to start series production of filing carousels based on the Ferris wheel principle. And Karl-Bruno Hänel played a key role in this development. He was the Chief Plant Manager of the manufacturing facility in Bad Friedrichshall until his retirement in 2004. He experienced and contributed to the history of the company founded by his uncle, Gerhard Hänel. The countless innovations developed by Gerhard Hänel were implemented and put into practice by Karl-Bruno Hänel. He collaborated with Gerhard Hänel on every major development. We will gratefully remember Karl-Bruno Hänel for his many years of loyalty and dedication to our company. The Management and Staff of Hänel Office and Storage Systems Even in childhood Karl-Bruno Hänel was fascinated by technology Dear Karl-Bruno, You can be sure that your achievements in life will not be forgotten, and that the Hänel family will continue the business just as you would have done. Thanks to your tireless efforts, Hänel today is a successful business enterprise based on a long tradition of innovation. Knowing you personally truly enriched my life. I consider myself quite lucky in having had the privilege of working successfully with you, and having had such a trusted colleague and friend at my side. I am extremely grateful to you, and all of Hänel’s employees are thankful for your achievements. You were quite unique and served as a genuine role model for us all. You will not be forgotten. Kurt Velmeke Having the privilege of delivering the eulogy for Karl-Bruno was a very emotional moment in my life. “It is certainly much more difficult to respectfully honor someone who has passed away than to praise someone in person for many achievements in life. Karl-Bruno was always astute and attentive, so I am sure that he will listen very carefully from above to my remarks today. Karl-Bruno and I met for the first time in the late 1960s. Even then he was a trusted consultant and confidant of Mr. Hänel Sr. and his dear wife. I was working as an assistant to the owner of a company that was a Hänel customer. During the course of our conversation, I had the impression that I had earned his trust. This was the beginning of a wonderful professional and personal relationship spanning nearly 50 years. It may sound unbelievable, but during that time we never had any personal confrontations. Of course, there were differences of opinion from time to time, especially when it came to technical matters, where his expertise was far superior to my know-how. Some of the product ideas I suggested just made him shake his head, but he would go off and then come back sometime later with just the right technical solution. He always made sure that manufacturing operations were geared toward supporting the sale of Hänel products in the best way possible. Mr. Hänel Sr. and Karl-Bruno had developed an advanced portfolio of products, but the next step involved marketing these innovations on a large scale. Thus the company presented its product line for the first time at the Hanover Fair in 1971, and Karl-Bruno was right there for a full week to give his support to all of us. These were very exciting days, and as we worked together in promoting Hänel products and generating customer leads, both of us seemed to grow closer. Karl-Bruno contributed to the relaxed, friendly and often humorous atmosphere among the staff at the conclusion of each day in Hanover. But during the day, he was always very professional, serious and focused. This was the era in which Karl-Bruno and Mr. Hänel Sr. realized countless technical innovations. Karl-Bruno never hesitated to find solutions to the challenges posed by promising ideas and feasible applications. Words cannot describe all that Karl-Bruno achieved for the company and its employees. He listened to what employees had to say, and was always ready to help in every way he could. Yes, at times he could lose his temper, but that was understandable in difficult situations. He was never vindictive and always remained open and honest. Karl-Bruno was indeed one of a kind.” Kurt Velmeke, Sales Manager 1971 – 2011 A Hänel service engineer inspects one of the very first office carousels

ISL Anniversary 10 years of cooperation with the Hänel company Welcoming address by Joachim Hänel Dear Richard, Dear Lukasz, Dear Employees of ISL, This year your company celebrates its 10th anniversary and hence also 10 years of collaboration with Hänel Office and Industrial Storage Systems. These 10 years have flown by. But in a time when our society is undergoing constant change, they are a sign of mutual trust. I associate these past 10 years above all with good times and shared successes. When I look back, I see that this collaboration was made possible by the vision and the courage of you, Richard Lucas. You developed your own concept and, with a very large contribution from Lukasz Kantoch, you implemented it. You took what you saw in our company that fitted well into your concept, adapted it, and you incorporated and factored in Polish national characteristics and strengths. With this approach you set out with your team on this successful journey on the Polish market. You used the time well and expanded the market gradually. Today it can be said that you play a leading role in the field of “automated vertical lifts and carousels” in Poland. This is one of the reasons Hänel awarded you the title of “Most successful partner 2005”. On top of this, you made yet another contribution this year with your “VendiShelf” product and as such have become a partner in the opposite direction – as a supplier of ideas and products. The first step on this road was taken with the global launch of VendiShelf at CeMAT 2011, the world’s leading trade fair for intralogistics. Dear Richard, Dear Lukasz, Dear Employees of ISL, please accept my personal thanks for your untiring commitment over these last 10 years. I wish you and your entire company continued success for the coming years and I hope our constructive cooperation will continue in the same spirit. Yours, Joachim Hänel Chief Executive Sales

Hänel Office and Industrial Storage Systems partnership with prismat Promoting digitization in the intralogistics market Hänel Office and Industrial Storage Systems , maker of dynamic lift solutions, and the SAP consulting firm prismat have formed an international alliance to promote digitization in the intralogistics market. Both companies are known worldwide for their expertise in their respective business sectors. “In the future Hänel customers will be able to profit from tailor-made solutions delivering the highest levels of efficiency. This will be possible thanks to the combination of SAP templates and Hänel control technology,” says Fin Geldmacher, CEO of prismat . Soon prismat will have access to the global Hänel network, comprised of customers from all branches of industry, and this will enable the software house to develop individualized SAP solutions for a wide range of intralogistics applications. Hänel is leveraging the vast know-how of prismat specialists to further develop and increase the availability of middle-ware-free connectivity between Hänel lift systems and SAP software. “Our customers and our business enterprises will profit from this alliance – it’s a win-win situation for everyone. This will help us expand our position and open up new markets,” says Fin Geldmacher. “Digitization and the perfect integration of our storage systems in existing IT environments is the basis for efficient intralogistics,” according to Joachim Hänel, Managing Director and Chief Executive Sales. “With the template developed in collaboration with prismat, we now have a standardized method for integrating Hänel storage solutions in existing SAP environments. SAP dialogs are displayed on the web-enabled Hänel controller units so that the lift systems can be operated through SAP. The high-performance MP 12 N and MP 14 N controllers thus become SAP terminals – and data can be booked in SAP in real time. Lean system landscapes of this kind have several advantages: Customers do not need any additional hardware, employee training is kept to a minimum and there are no third-party license fees. A number of customer projects have already been realized successfully within the scope of the partnership. Since the 1950s the name Hänel has stood for innovative solutions in automated storage and materials handling for office and industrial environments. In its role as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of automated carousel and vertical lift storage systems, Hänel has constantly driven the development and integration of its control and software technologies for decades. Back in the 1980s it was Hänel that developed its very own high-performance control systems. And since 2004 customers have been able to integrate Hänel controllers in their enterprise networks via Ethernet. Even then all communication was supported by an integrated web server. Hänel also took the lead by launching touchscreen technology in 2006. The company places great importance not only on technological innovation and ergonomics, but also on energy efficiency. With Hänel EcoDrive®, which is part of the Hänel EcoConcept, the company became the first provider of vertical lift technology to develop a system that captures the energy released during the extractor’s descent, converts it into electrical energy and feeds it back into the power supply network. Today Rotomat® carousels and Hänel Lean-Lifts® are produced at three manufacturing sites – and exported worldwide. Hänel maintains its own subsidiaries in Switzerland, France, the Netherlands and the USA, in addition to a network of sales partners in more than 60 countries around the world. The Hänel Group employs some 500 people and generates more than EUR 100 million annually. prismat GmbH was founded in 1991 as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics in Dortmund. As a Special Expertise Partner of SAP, the company has continuously accompanied the development of inventory management solutions, from WM (Warehouse Management) and LES (Logistics Execution System) to EWM (Extended Warehouse Management). The software house can proudly look back on 25 years of successful project work in the SAP segment. To date prismat has successfully realized more than 250 SAP projects of relevance to logistics applications for well-known business enterprises. In addition to its headquarters in Dortmund, Germany, prismat is also represented through branch offices in Ratingen, Stuttgart and Bremen. It has more than 130 employees. In addition to SAP EWM, the company portfolio also covers SAP TM, SAP YL, SAP ERP, S/4HANA®, SAP Fiori®, SAP Enable Now and cloud solutions, not to mention new loT solutions within the scope of the SAP Leonardo offering.

Hänel Lockomat® Safe and secure retrieval Compartment doors that are closed manually or automatically guarantee error-free retrieval and protect the stored articles from unauthorized access The principle / system benefits Applications Solutions with the Lockomat® User authorization The user proves his authorization by means of an ID card, password or transponder, and the user interface set up for him personally appears on the display. All booking operations can then be traced to a specific user. Multiple users can be set up with different authorizations. Article management Articles are requested or put into storage by entering an article number or using a barcode scanner. The digital LED display on the work surface indicates the compartment door behind which the article is stored. All pick and put operations are logged, which makes later verification and tracking easy. Similar-looking articles can’t be confused. Inventory control Continuous inventory control means that shortages in the supply of materials can be avoided. The intelligent microprocessor control system can be easily integrated into the customer's own IT system. This ensures you have an overview of the stock situation at all times. Protection of inventory The closed storage system protects your stock from unauthorized access. Space and time savings Optimum use of floor space. There are no upper limits to the Lockomat®. Systems can even span multiple floors. The Lockomat® is designed according to the tried-and-tested vertical carousel principle. That means: Goods to man is the motto instead of man to goods.

Hänel EcoLoad® Energy conservation technology A smart energy conservation concept is also available for the Hänel Rotomat® As its name suggests, the Hänel Rotomat® is based on rotation and functions much like a Ferris wheel. This vertical carousel principle ensures that the Hänel storage system is very energy efficient by design when handling balanced loads. If items put into the storage system are carefully arranged to ensure balanced payloads, the energy needed for the rotational movement of the system carriers is minimized. This is where Hänel EcoLoad® helps system operators by providing them with loading recommendations via the control terminal. What’s more, Hänel uses quality high-end components when manufacturing its storage systems – these components reduce friction and make rotational movement in the systems much smoother. Well-balanced loads on all of the carriers throughout the entire storage system reduce energy consumption considerably. If items in storage are kept in balance, even heavy payloads can be moved with very little energy. Hänel EcoLoad® monitors the load status of the Hänel Rotomat® continuously. The Hänel microprocessor controller – in conjunction with Hänel EcoLoad® tells system operators how stored items can be optimally distributed across the various carriers. This also makes sure that payloads are kept in balance when systems are in operation. If system operators follow the recommendations, the entire inventory stored inside the storage system is kept in nearly perfect balance, and that maximizes overall energy efficiency. Hänel EcoLoad® reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions! The weight distribution in the Hänel Rotomat® is measured continuously – if loads are uneven, a relocation of goods is recommended to optimize energy efficiency The weight distribution in the Hänel Rotomat® is measured continuously so that if a load becomes uneven, a relocation of goods is recommended to optimize energy efficiency

A look back at CeMAT ‘Sustainability in Intralogistics’ was the tagline for CeMAT 2011 The issue of sustainability is of course a constant challenge for Hänel Office and Industrial Storage Systems, as it is for other companies, in view of rising energy and commodity prices and the ongoing debate about climate change. The countless visitors to our stand and the exceptionally high interest in our products showed us that the innovative solutions from Hänel are meeting these challenges. One of the core topics at CeMAT 2011 was the Hänel EcoConcept , consisting of the three components: Hänel EcoDrive® Energy recovery thanks to built-in frequency converter Hänel EcoMode® Intelligent energy management Hänel EcoLoad® Hänel microprocessor controllers with new features The high-speed version of the Hänel Rotomat® also attracted a great deal of interest. It has enabled Hänel to push the physical boundaries of vertical carousel technology yet again, and increase the rotation speed by up to 70%. Similarly, the new Hänel AutoIdent® has been perfected. All pick and put operations are recorded and monitored by camera. At the trade fair visitors were able to test the VendiShelf system, which won an award in Poland for safe and secure retrieval, on the Hänel Lean-Lift®. It showed many visitors new application possibilities for their logistics divisions. Another innovative solution, the option of storing different items at different temperatures (down to ‑ 80° C) in one Lean-Lift®, was also greeted by the public with keen interest. With its top controller MP 12 N Hänel offers flexibility in new dimensions: one control system – four different storage strategies. The time-proven storage management software HänelSoft® has been given a new look. Apply the functionality of a tablet PC directly at the control unit. The digital information and location display is particularly useful on very wide storage systems as it eliminates long walking distances and can save time. Detailed information on these innovations will be appearing on our website soon.

Metallbau Perazzelli AG | Landquart, CH The Rotomat® as central provisioning system for assembly components and tools Perazzelli Metallbau AG in Landquart, Switzerland, relies on a Hänel solution for storing consumables and metrological instruments, protecting them from dust and unauthorized access. The Hänel Rotomat® is located centrally in the production area in order to provide 20 employees with nuts, bolts, dowels, adhesives, etc. – the provisioning process is efficient and ergonomic. The compact and neat storage in the Hänel vertical carousel offers maximum storage capacity requiring only a minimum of floor space. The Hänel Rotomat® at Perazzelli is a perfect example of a central depot solution for the systematic storage and retrieval of various production parts. In addition to ease of use and outstanding retrieval ergonomics, employees also benefit from improved overall safety. The Hänel Rotomat® is equipped with an easy-to-operate lockable sliding door which protects items from dust, contamination and unauthorized access. The numeric keypad on the MP 0 N stand-alone controller is used to select those items specified for retrieval. When the item request has been confirmed, the storage system automatically brings the specified multifunction carrier to the retrieval access point. The items can then be removed from the system at an ergonomic height. When conducting their weekly inventory replenishment process, employees can easily slide the storage bins across the work counter of the Hänel Rotomat® system. Another ergonomic plus is the full and even illumination of the retrieval point thanks to energy-efficient LED technology. The compact design of the Hänel Rotomat® and the vertical storage principle have saved valuable floor space and boosted productivity at Perazzelli Metallbau. This Hänel storage solution optimizes processes and supports an ergonomic environment for Perazzelli employees! The Hänel Rotomat® serves as the central depot for all material Thanks to neat and compact storage, employees can quickly find and retrieve the material and tools they need Hänel multifunction carriers feature perforated holes for configuring various kinds of dividers and compartments The easy-to-operate sliding door protects stored items from dust and contamination 'The Hänel Rotomat® was key in giving us more space for material, and we now have a much better overview of our entire inventory. Our productivity has increased dramatically.' Christoph Rhyner Project Manager

Transit system maintenance parts storage Efficient maintenance of rolling stock An efficient warehouse is always designed to fulfill a specified task. To ensure the supply of material needed to overhaul and modernize passenger train cars, Deutsche Bahn AG, responsible for Germany’s railroad system, ordered Hänel height-optimized vertical lift storage systems that are installed directly next to the work platforms in the maintenance building located in Wittenberge, Germany. The spacesaving systems are used to safely store and provide fast access to parts, components, tools and consumables that are required for maintaining and modernizing train cars. Deutsche Bahn maintains 16 service sites throughout the country to ensure that customer demands are met – the list of customers includes Deutsche Bahn Regio AG, DB Fernverkehr AG and DB Schenker Rail, as well as other railroad companies in Europe. The service center in Wittenberge, in the State of Brandenburg, has a long history in rolling stock maintenance dating back 135 years. The site, known officially as DB Fahrzeuginstandhaltung GmbH, employs more than 800 people who overhaul and modernize passenger cars for regional and long-distance routes, in addition to refurbishing and supplying parts and components for Deutsche Bahn. High efficiency with space-saving vertical lift systems Old equipment often does not ensure the process security needed today. A small problem, which is easy to resolve in modern systems, can lead to delays and, in serious cases, to complete outages that shut down operations entirely. To make sure that the maintenance processes for its train cars are always up and running smoothly, Deutsche Bahn modernized its manual buffer storage to provide fast access to material when servicing rolling stock. The project involved eight space-saving vertical lift systems and one industrial carousel system from Hänel. The automated Hänel Lean-Lift® combines storage rationalization and goods protection in one. At the center of the system is a computercontrolled positioning lift – the extractor. In front of it and behind it are the storage shelves. This is where the articles are stored in containers in height-optimized positions. The different possible heights result in exceptionally high capacity utilization. The vertical technology of the automated systems from Hänel utilizes the entire height of the building so that a storage density of up to 60 percent can be achieved. In addition, efficiency is much higher because the “putting and picking” of items in the systems is very fast, and workers do not have to walk long distances to fetch the parts or tools they need. Holger Hammel, the project manager responsible for the Hänel systems at the Wittenberge plant, describes the improvements: “The old double-door warehouse cabinets were bursting at the seams! And the maintenance platforms were always cluttered with parts and components for the train cars. Thanks to the automated Hänel storage systems, we now have everything perfectly organized and easily accessible. What’s more, we also gained more space on the maintenance platforms – that’s a big plus.” Modern touch-screen terminals mounted at the access points of the Lean-Lift® systems, along with integrated warehouse management software, are used to locate and retrieve containers in each Lean-Lift®. All access points are positioned at ergonomic height levels. Workers conveniently retrieve the items they need without constant bending or reaching. “The automated Hänel storage systems enabled us to optimize the throughput times for each maintenance job, and processes are more transparent as well,” says the project manager. Optimized parts management Faster access to required parts and components translates into economical and efficient storage that drastically reduces costs and improves parts management at the same time. Holger Hammel adds: “The logistics processes have been streamlined by using the Lean-Lift® systems. The storage systems are located right on the spot where employees need to have access to specific tools and parts – doors, sheet metal, glass, electrical units – you name it.” Thus, the Lean-Lift® used for storing brake systems is situated near the staging ramp where the chassis is separated from the train car body for maintenance work. The parts for the brake systems are refurbished and inspected. During general overhaul these parts are stored safely in the Lean-Lift®. Hydraulic lines, back-pressure valves, gauges, pressure regulators, manometers, compression couplings, gaskets and special brake tools are stored on 25 shelves. Ralf Wendland, the supervisor in charge of brakes, couplers and buffer components, says: “Thanks to the flexible Hänel storage and retrieval systems, we save enormous amounts of time, storage space and money. Our maintenance processes are also much better. Dynamic storage enables us to rationalize work processes and reduce walking distances when fetching parts and tools – and that really saves a lot of time. The Hänel storage systems support us in achieving our 12-day target for completing a standard overhaul job.” Screws, nuts, bolts, springs and pins are kept in a vertical Hänel Rotomat® industrial storage carousel. An external supplier keeps the Rotomat® containers filled according to the Kanban principle. For storing fragile windows, two containers were equipped with special receptacles for holding up to 16 windowpanes each. Heavy spacer and buffer plates, steel sheeting, junction plates and stops are kept in a special Lean-Lift® with a payload capacity of up to 600 kilograms per container. The vertical Hänel systems were installed to gain more storage space with a smaller footprint and to increase the transparency of buffer storage. The Lean-Lift® storing brake systems is situated near the staging ramp where the chassis is separated from the train car body for maintenance work. The parts for the brake systems are refurbished and inspected. During general overhaul these parts are stored safely in the Lean-Lift®. Safe storage of fragile glass panes After a period of eight years or an in-service performance of about 1.5 million kilometers, a train car is brought to Wittenberge for a standard overhaul. In many cases the train cars need to be modernized or even completely restored. Ralf Wendland explains: “For storing fragile windows, we have two containers in a Lean-Lift® equipped with special receptacles for holding up to 16 windowpanes each. The system features an enlarged access area and two transport support rails for removing the panes quickly and easily.” The other ten containers in the system hold door locks, rubber strips, window and door gaskets, as well as cleaning cloths and similar materials needed by employees. Storage for cable reels For complete modernizations and corrosion removal, the platform at the far end of the service center is equipped with two special Hänel systems for storing large and small cable reels. The eight containers in the Lean-Lift®, which is almost six meters high but only 1.3 meters wide, have special fittings to hold two large cable reels each, with a payload of up to 1,000 kilograms. Support rails on both sides make it easy to slide the containers out and change the cable reels as needed. Special protection for electronic components Particularly sensitive electronic components like plug-in boards or controllers for doors and air conditioning are kept in a special Lean-Lift® with ESD prevention features. For example, all 22 containers have a special finish to protect items from damage that could be caused by electrostatic discharges. In addition, the access points can also be locked. Thus electronic components are safeguarded against ESD, light and dust. Locked containers for more inventory control Ralf Wendland adds: “A second Lean-Lift® is equipped with a container that is supplied with electric power – this is where we store items needed for the interiors of our train cars. When they are put into storage, we are able to charge the device batteries while they are in the container. Furthermore, specified containers in this Lean-Lift® are locked. They can only be activated with a password entered at the terminal. This gives us better inventory control and retrieval management when it comes to valuable electronics. And things stay organized and clean.” Heavy loads and small parts Heavy spacer and buffer plates, steel sheeting, junction plates and stops are kept in a Lean-Lift® with a payload capacity of up to 600 kilograms per container. Here again support rails can be pulled out for ergonomic and more convenient removal of heavy components from the containers. Small items such as screws, nuts, bolts, springs and pins, as well as consumables, are stored in a vertical Hänel Rotomat® industrial carousel. An external supplier keeps the Rotomat® containers filled according to the Kanban principle. Inside, 28 multifunctional shelves can be arranged variably using dividers, split-shelving elements and punched slot grids. The eight containers in the Lean-Lift®, which is almost six meters high but only 1.3 meters wide, have special fittings to hold two large cable reels each, with a payload of up to 1,000 kilograms. Specified containers can only be accessed via passwords. This ensures better inventory control and retrieval management when it comes to valuable electronics. Support rails can be pulled out for ergonomic and more convenient removal of containers. Particularly sensitive electronic components like plug-in boards or controllers for doors and air conditioning are kept in a special Lean-Lift® with ESD prevention features. With the container electrification feature, device batteries can be charged while they are in storage.

CeMAT 2018 International Trade Fair High interest in Hänel innovations and storage systems among industry professionals Digital networks – the main theme at CeMAT 2018 The Motto Logistics 4.0 meets Industry 4.0 was used to integrate CeMAT in the Hanover Fair this year. The coupling of both events thus gave thousands of visitors to the Hanover Fair a chance to experience CeMAT as well. Many industry professionals used that opportunity to visit the Hänel stand to see the intelligent innovations offered for intralogistics. Hänel focused on six main topics at the exhibition – which included informative live presentations as well. In addition to Hänel’s wide-ranging expertise in controller technology and the smart integration of Hänel storage systems in networks worldwide, the stand also highlighted DIGITAL CONNECTED technologies such as order picking supported by the MP 14 N controller, not to mention the digital picking display of the Hänel Rotomat®. Hänel also introduced a new concept for system operation: the new Hänel MP 14 N controller in conjunction with HänelSoft® warehouse management software and Hänel PictureControl, comprised of a camera integrated in the storage system to enable perfect visual operation of the Hänel Lean-Lift®. Pick-by-Light and Put-to-Light concepts for the Hänel Rotomat® industrial lift system were also exhibited at CeMAT this year. Maximum picking speeds thanks to vertical carousel technology, plus “put- and pick-to-light” options using modern web devices along with HänelSoft®, reflect the synergies possible with Hänel’s proven technology and advanced features. One highlight among the devices available for operating Hänel lifts is the use of augmented reality devices. The SOAP interface in Hänel controllers, along with software such as SAP, enables users wearing augmented reality devices to operate Hänel storage systems with high efficiency. This was demonstrated live at the Hänel stand. The banner POWERFUL FEATURES drew attention to other additional options available for boosting the efficiency of Hänel industrial storage systems. Large numbers of industry professionals also made their way to Hall 23 to see what Hänel had to offer at the Logistics Hub 4.0 special exhibit. Hänel demonstrated its Pick-by-Light and Put-to- Light concept for optimizing logistic chains and processes.

In-plant tool vending and tracking Hänel Lockomat Vertical Carousel The Hänel Lockomat® is the ideal storage system for safe and secure provisioning of tools and small parts One Hänel Lockomat® – serving as a tool depot – is centrally located in the production building of one the best-known German engineering companies in the concrete technology sector. Employees have access to tools, safety equipment and consumables at any time – even at unscheduled hours. The compartment doors of the Hänel system close automatically while ensuring error-free retrieval and access protection for valuable items in storage. Thanks to the compact design of the vertical storage system, valuable floor space can be effectively utilized for manufacturing and assembly processes. Inventory-driven management of valuable tools, plus employee identification and access via RFID The inventory status of items in storage is monitored and constantly updated through an interface with the TDM tool management system. Employees must verify their identities using RFID smart cards to gain access to tools. After identity confirmation, employees can then request specific tools via the computer terminal. The Hänel Lockomat® can be integrated in various tool management systems quite easily. All of the stored items are assigned to various categories which are clearly listed for easy retrieval. When this data is entered, the Lockomat® brings the specified tools to the access point. Then the specified compartment door opens automatically, giving the employee access to the tool. The Hänel compartment and sub-level indicators show precisely where tools are located on the container to ensure error-free retrieval. The row and compartment numbers are also shown on the controller display. When an item has been retrieved, the employee confirms the transaction in TDM. The compartment doors of the Hänel Lockomat® then close automatically to prevent unauthorized access. Precise inventory control thanks to constant monitoring Based on the information scanned from the smart cards, the tool management system automatically ascertains the cost center number and bills the cost of the retrieved item to the appropriate department. When items in stock reach low levels, the ERP system requests new supplies to replenish the inventory in the Hänel Lockomat®. Flexible access during shift work, lower costs and optimized inventory control The Hänel Lockomat® gives shift workers flexible access to various parts and tools on demand so that production schedules can proceed without delays. The Hänel intralogistics solution also reduces the cost of tool storage while optimizing inventory management and security at the same time.

Inventory-driven management of valuable tools, plus employee identification and access via RFID The inventory status of items in storage is monitored and constantly updated through an interface with the TDM tool management system. Employees must verify their identities using RFID smart cards to gain access to tools. After identity confirmation, employees can then request specific tools via the computer terminal. The Hänel Lockomat® can be integrated in various tool management systems quite easily. All of the stored items are assigned to various categories which are clearly listed for easy retrieval. When this data is entered, the Lockomat® brings the specified tools to the access point. Then the specified compartment door opens automatically, giving the employee access to the tool. The Hänel compartment and sub-level indicators show precisely where tools are located on the container to ensure error-free retrieval. The row and compartment numbers are also shown on the controller display. When an item has been retrieved, the employee confirms the transaction in TDM. The compartment doors of the Hänel Lockomat® then close automatically to prevent unauthorized access. Precise inventory control thanks to constant monitoring Based on the information scanned from the smart cards, the tool management system automatically ascertains the cost center number and bills the cost of the retrieved item to the appropriate department. When items in stock reach low levels, the ERP system requests new supplies to replenish the inventory in the Hänel Lockomat®. Flexible access during shift work, lower costs and optimized inventory control The Hänel Lockomat® gives shift workers flexible access to various parts and tools on demand so that production schedules can proceed without delays. The Hänel intralogistics solution also reduces the cost of tool storage while optimizing inventory management and security at the same time.

Robert Bosch GmbH Blaichach/Immenstadt Two central Hänel Rotomat® storage systems as SAP-based component depot for postseries production Two Hänel Rotomat® storage systems serve as an integral part of an ultra-modern Industry 4.0 production site operated by Bosch. They store components for ABS and ESP® systems for post-series supply and are linked with the central SAP ERP solution via SOAP interface. The Hänel Rotomat® is an outstanding intralogistics solution for storing large numbers of diverse components that are produced in small quantities. The storage lift systems with ESD protection also safeguard sensitive electronic components. The Hänel storage carousels are seamlessly integrated in the logistics concept and optimally tuned with existing processes The MP 12 N-StandAlone Lcontroller dynamically allocates storage positions within the system to ensure fully automated and reliable storage processes. Thanks to the standard integration of the SOAP protocol an interface is easily set up between the Hänel controllers and the SAP system at Bosch – without additional middleware. The management solution integrated as a standard feature in the lift controllers allocates the storage positions depending on the size of the bins or boxes. Optimized intralogistics processes with the Hänel interface linking storage systems to SAP If components from the storage system are required for post-series production, SAP creates an order and sends a transport command via the SOAP interface to the Hänel systems. At the same time, a retrieval order is printed and the barcode on the order is scanned to start the retrieval process. After order confirmation, the Hänel Rotomat® immediately transports the requisite shelf to the access point, and the Hänel compartment and sub-level indicator shows the employee which box contains the items requested. The entire box is retrieved and then sent to the assembly line. Worldwide communication through a central ERP infrastructure The central ERP infrastructure supports global communication among all company sites. For example, thanks to the integration of the Hänel Rotomat® systems via SOAP interface, even items from remaining stocks at other sites can be requested. The entire inventory status data is available at all times and at all company locations worldwide. Saving valuable production floor space and the seamless middleware-free SAP integration were key factors that influenced the Bosch Blaichach/Immenstadt decision to adopt the Hänel intralogistics solution!

More Hänel EcoMode® Hänel EcoMode® Intelligent energy management More High-Speed Generation High-Speed Generation A basic component for efficiency-enhancing is the high-performance drive technology of the Hänel Multi-Space® generation high-speed More Very high availability through redundancy with Hänel ESB Hänel storage systems work reliably and failure-free. Should a malfunction arise, however, the Hänel redundancy systems kick in. Multi-Space® can be fitted with a second safety circuit, for example. This means that if the safety light barriers in the retrieval opening fail, it is still possible to continue operating the Multi-Space® with the sliding door closed. The Hänel Multi-Space® can also have the Hänel ESB (Expanded Safety Bypass) package integrated. By activating the ESB system directly at the microprocessor controller, the user can continue to operate the Hänel Multi-Space® in defined cases despite a malfunction. This redundancy system consists of eight integrated safety circuits. It means that in the following cases the Hänel Multi-Space® can continue to be operated safely and reliably until the Hänel service technician arrives. Hänel EcoDrive® CO2 reductions thanks to efficient energy recovery Depending on the travel rate, up to 40 % of the energy fed in previously for the upward run can be returned to the supply network! The new Hänel EcoDrive® helps to save energy and consequently to reduce costs. A new type of frequency converter uses the energy of the descending extractor and converts it back into electrical energy. This is then fed back into the supply system and can be used elsewhere, for example on other Multi-Space® in a network. Hänel EcoMode® Intelligent energy management With the Hänel EcoMode®, a storage system that remains at standstill for long periods without being operated can be switched automatically to different levels of standby mode at freely configurable time intervals. All systems that consume energy even when at standstill are closed down by the control system in 4 EcoMode® levels (energy-saving levels). The time intervals can be programmed as required and therefore adapted precisely to individual needs. This reduces the energy intake of the Hänel storage systems to a minimum when they are not being used. Down to EcoMode® level 3, the carousel returns to full operational readiness in a very short time once the controller is actuated. The last EcoMode® level switches the carousel off at the main switch. Our specialists will continue to work on the Hänel EcoConcept and develop further energy-efficient solutions for the Hänel storage systems.

All Hänel systems can be equipped with the digital picking display. All informations are compact shown in 3 lines with up to 20 letters. Both the Hänel Lean-Lift® and the Hänel Rotomat® and the Hänel Multi-Space® can be equipped with the digital order picking display. Hänel Pick-o-Light® system A new way to identify storage locations A component of Hänel’s high-speed-picking concept is the Hänel Pick-o-Light® system for quickly finding the required articles An LED array is integrated into the panel above the access opening of the lift. A colored LED directs a beam of light onto the requested article, so that it is identified unmistakably and unequivocally. This ensures maximum efficiency and reliable selection during order picking. Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario for variable container divisions: Alternatively, if container divisions are variable, items can be identified via a free-moving Vario unit with 4 integrated LEDs. Augmented Reality High-tech picking via wireless augmented reality and pick-by-voice for Hänel industrial systems Order picking with the Hänel Multi-Space® and augmented reality devices (known as optical head-mounted displays) is being demanded by more and more customers. In response Hänel offers Multi-Space® systems that can be operated exclusively with AR optical devices – no other input is required. Data input and item selection is accomplished through voice commands in conjunction with the optical AR device. All data and information of relevance to the item, including a photograph of the item, are visible on the AR display worn by the system operator. Users can thus focus their full attention on the picking process without having to handle lists or paper notes.

Custom Storage Solutions Intelligent Systems for Maximum Efficiency Hänel ESB Hänel ESB The intelligent safety package for enhanced availability of the Hänel lifts More Hänel EcoDrive® Hänel EcoDrive® Depending on the travel rate, up to 40 % of the energy fed in previously for the upward run can be returned to the supply network! More Hänel EcoMode® Hänel EcoMode® Intelligent energy management More High-Speed Generation High-Speed Generation A basic component for efficiency-enhancing is the high-performance drive technology of the Hänel Multi-Space® generation high-speed More Very high availability through redundancy with Hänel ESB Hänel storage systems work reliably and failure-free. Should a malfunction arise, however, the Hänel redundancy systems kick in. Multi-Space® can be fitted with a second safety circuit, for example. This means that if the safety light barriers in the retrieval opening fail, it is still possible to continue operating the Multi-Space® with the sliding door closed. The Hänel Multi-Space® can also have the Hänel ESB (Expanded Safety Bypass) package integrated. By activating the ESB system directly at the microprocessor controller, the user can continue to operate the Hänel Multi-Space® in defined cases despite a malfunction. This redundancy system consists of eight integrated safety circuits. It means that in the following cases the Hänel Multi-Space® can continue to be operated safely and reliably until the Hänel service technician arrives. Hänel EcoDrive® CO2 reductions thanks to efficient energy recovery Depending on the travel rate, up to 40 % of the energy fed in previously for the upward run can be returned to the supply network! The new Hänel EcoDrive® helps to save energy and consequently to reduce costs. A new type of frequency converter uses the energy of the descending extractor and converts it back into electrical energy. This is then fed back into the supply system and can be used elsewhere, for example on other Multi-Space® in a network. Hänel EcoMode® Intelligent energy management With the Hänel EcoMode®, a storage system that remains at standstill for long periods without being operated can be switched automatically to different levels of standby mode at freely configurable time intervals. All systems that consume energy even when at standstill are closed down by the control system in 4 EcoMode® levels (energy-saving levels). The time intervals can be programmed as required and therefore adapted precisely to individual needs. This reduces the energy intake of the Hänel storage systems to a minimum when they are not being used. Down to EcoMode® level 3, the carousel returns to full operational readiness in a very short time once the controller is actuated. The last EcoMode® level switches the carousel off at the main switch. Our specialists will continue to work on the Hänel EcoConcept and develop further energy-efficient solutions for the Hänel storage systems.

Digital picking display The digital picking display shows where the requested article is currently positioned and also provides additional information about the item itself and the storage location in direct proximity to it. This reveals the change of perspective between the compartment indicator and the controller. Input can be entered in the digital picking display via the touchscreen. Retrieval is confirmed directly on the location display. This is particularly useful on very wide storage systems as it eliminates long walking distances and saves time. All Hänel systems can be equipped with the digital picking display. All informations are compact shown in 3 lines with up to 20 letters. Both the Hänel Lean-Lift® and the Hänel Rotomat® and the Hänel Multi-Space® can be equipped with the digital order picking display. Hänel Pick-o-Light® system A new way to identify storage locations A component of Hänel’s high-speed-picking concept is the Hänel Pick-o-Light® system for quickly finding the required articles An LED array is integrated into the panel above the access opening of the lift. A colored LED directs a beam of light onto the requested article, so that it is identified unmistakably and unequivocally. This ensures maximum efficiency and reliable selection during order picking. Hänel Pick-o-Light® Vario for variable container divisions: Alternatively, if container divisions are variable, items can be identified via a free-moving Vario unit with 4 integrated LEDs. Augmented Reality High-tech picking via wireless augmented reality and pick-by-voice for Hänel industrial systems Order picking with the Hänel Multi-Space® and augmented reality devices (known as optical head-mounted displays) is being demanded by more and more customers. In response Hänel offers Multi-Space® systems that can be operated exclusively with AR optical devices – no other input is required. Data input and item selection is accomplished through voice commands in conjunction with the optical AR device. All data and information of relevance to the item, including a photograph of the item, are visible on the AR display worn by the system operator. Users can thus focus their full attention on the picking process without having to handle lists or paper notes.

Hänel Storage Systems This family-owned business continues to thrive after establishing its US facility more than 30 years ago In the early 1980s, a group of executives representing the Pittsburgh Technology Council visited Hannover Messe in Germany in hopes of enticing German companies to do business in their city. At this time, Pittsburgh, PA was in the midst of an economic and urban renaissance, having seen collapse of the steel industry and exodus of major corporations, followed by a revitalization of its downtown and directive to attract new types of industry. While in Hannover, these executives met Joachim Hänel, the chief executive and second-generation owner of Hänel Büro- und Lagersysteme of Bad Friedrichshall, Germany, a manufacturer of automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) founded in 1953. At their behest, Mr. Hänel visited Pittsburgh and was given a grand tour of the city. Upon seeing the view from atop scenic Mt. Washington, he was struck by the similarities between the Western Pennsylvania landscape and the area where he grew up in Southern Germany. He decided then and there that his company would branch out into the United States, and its office would be in Pittsburgh. The US headquarters was established in 1984 as Hänel Storage Systems, and the organization never looked back. Hänel’s two primary products are the Rotomat® vertical carousel and Lean-Lift® vertical lift module – Machines that allow customers to store more inventory in less space, and accomplish more in less time. By investing in Hänel automated vertical storage systems, customers solve many inventory management problems while saving a significant amount of money in the process, often with a near-instant return on investment. Vast amounts of floor space can be recovered, up to 80%, by eliminating rows of conventional static shelving, pallet racks and modular drawer cabinets. Hänel units have a very small footprint, but utilize the full ceiling height of any facility, automatically delivering items from storage upon request. Customers utilize every inch of their unused overhead space, allowing them to increase production or otherwise transform storage space into a profit center. Employee productivity can be increased dramatically by adding automation to the part-picking process, with no more tedious searches for items to pick or restock. Employees can do a significant amount of extra activity in less time, or tasks can be completed with fewer people. Standardized onboard inventory management systems Improve inventory control by tracking items according to SKU, description, quantity, description, first in/first out, minimum levels or even by using a photo of each product. Customers can improve the accuracy of their inventory to over 99%, and eliminate overstocks, shortages and expired items. Hänel’s industry-leading microprocessor control systems and proprietary software easily interfaces with customers’ host ERP, MRP or WMS systems. Hänel units can limit access to stored inventory using electronic or mechanical systems that provide an automatic audit trail of activity, for a fingerprint of each transaction. Access can be limited to specific inventory or by specific personnel, using unique log-in credentials, barcode or keycards. Customers know who signed out items and when, which reduces picking/stocking errors and protects inventory from possible contamination. All items stored in Hänel systems are delivered to a safe, waist height level in accordance with OSHA recommendations, no matter the size or weight. Employees no longer need to bend down to pick up heavy items from bottom shelves, reach up to access bulky items stored above, or awkwardly climb a ladder to retrieve a package. This significantly reduces workplace injuries caused by repetitive muscular motions, which in turn reduces employer insurance payouts, because all items are delivered to the same ergonomically correct location every time. Hänel products are used for all types of applications, including manufacturing, warehousing, healthcare, medical devices, pharmaceuticals and car dealerships. They store raw materials, work-in-process items and finished goods inventory – Wherever there are parts to be stored, Hänel is there. As supply chains have been interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, companies needing to stockpile supplies can do so with Hänel machines, and know that they will always have access to critical inventory without interruption. Aside from Hänel Storage Systems in the US, Hänel also has affiliate offices in France, Switzerland and the Netherlands, with three manufacturing plants in Bad Friedrichshall and Wiesentheid in Germany and Altstätten, Switzerland. Hänel Storage Systems is responsible for all sales, service and support of customers in the Americas, with the exception of a few countries in South America. Hänel sells through a network of 90 authorized distribution partners in the US, Canada, Mexico and Colombia. As a privately held family business, the Hänel family has a commitment to future generations with employees as its number one asset, and the corporate philosophy calls for self-sustained, incremental growth. Hänel has been in business since 1953 and in the US since 1984, and has a bright future because its products and solutions can be adapted to any market.

Should a malfunction arise, however, the Hänel redundancy systems kick in. Lean-Lifts® can be fitted with a second safety circuit , for example. This means that if the safety light barriers in the retrieval opening fail, it is still possible to continue operating the Lean-Lift® with the sliding door closed. The Hänel Lean-Lift® can also have the Hänel ESB (Expanded Safety Bypass) package integrated. By activating the ESB system directly at the microprocessor controller, the user can continue to operate the Hänel Lean-Lift® in defined cases despite a malfunction. These two redundancy systems consist of seven integrated safety circuits. In the following cases the Hänel Lean-Lift® can continue to be operated safely and reliably until the Hänel service technician arrives. Hänel EcoDrive® CO2 reductions thanks to efficient energy recovery Depending on the travel rate, up to 40 % of the energy fed in previously for the upward run can be returned to the supply network! The new Hänel EcoDrive® helps to save energy and consequently to reduce costs. A new type of frequency converter uses the energy of the descending extractor and converts it back into electrical energy. This is then fed back into the supply system and can be used elsewhere, for example on other Lean-Lifts® in a network. >> More information about the Hänel EcoConcept is available here << Hänel EcoMode® Intelligent energy management With the Hänel EcoMode®, a storage system that remains at standstill for long periods without being operated can be switched automatically to different levels of standby mode at freely configurable time intervals. All systems that consume energy even when at standstill are closed down by the control system in 4 EcoMode® levels (energy-saving levels). The time intervals can be programmed as required and therefore adapted precisely to individual needs. This reduces the energy intake of the Hänel storage systems to a minimum when they are not being used. Down to EcoMode® level 3, the carousel returns to full operational readiness in a very short time once the controller is actuated. The last EcoMode® level switches the carousel off at the main switch. Our specialists will continue to work on the Hänel EcoConcept and develop further energy-efficient solutions for the Hänel storage systems.

This is particularly useful on very wide storage systems as it eliminates long walking distances and saves time. All Hänel systems can be equipped with the digital picking display. The Hänel digital picking display indicates where the requested item is located in the system and also provides additional information about the item and its storage position Hänel Pick-o-Light® system A new way to identify storage locations A component of Hänel’s high-speed-picking concept is the Hänel Pick-o-Light® system for quickly finding the required articles An LED array is integrated into the panel above the access opening of the lift. A colored LED directs a beam of light onto the requested article, so that it is identified unmistakably and unequivocally. This ensures maximum efficiency and reliable selection during order picking. Hänel Pick-o-Light-Vario® for variable container divisions: Alternatively, if container divisions are variable, items can be identified via a free-moving Vario unit with 4 integrated LEDs. Augmented Reality High-tech picking via wireless augmented reality and pick-by-voice for Hänel industrial systems Order picking with the Hänel Lean-Lift® and augmented reality devices (known as optical head-mounted displays) is being demanded by more and more customers. In response Hänel offers Lean-Lift® systems that can be operated exclusively with AR optical devices – no other input is required. Data input and item selection is accomplished through voice commands in conjunction with the optical AR device. All data and information of relevance to the item, including a photograph of the item, are visible on the AR display worn by the system operator. Users can thus focus their full attention on the picking process without having to handle lists or paper notes. Once an item is requested via voice command, the storage system automatically brings the item to the access point for retrieval, and the item position is highlighted by Hänel Pick-o-Light®. This minimizes the risk of human picking errors. Hänel storage systems and AR optical devices can be linked to various ERP systems thanks to the SOAP interface. All key item information and commands for voice control are displayed Hänel Pre-Store-Buffering® Hänel Pre-Store-Buffering® Time saved by automatic buffering More Visual Operation Visual Operation Hänel PictureControl, HänelSoft® and the new MP 14 N controller for innovative visual system operation!

More Hänel Pre-Store-Buffering® Time saved by automatic buffering Usually the articles in a pick list are located on different storage containers. With Hänel’s Pre- Store-Buffering®, the time needed to access consecutive containers is considerably reduced. While the operator takes the required articles from container ① in the access point, the extractor is already bringing container ② to a storage location directly behind the access point (this location can be pre-defined as required). Maximum security of the storage articles, no limitation to the height of the storage goods, and optimal ergonomics – another stroke of innovative genius from Hänel! Visual Operation The new system operation concept from Hänel – the MP 14 N controller Hänel PictureControl, HänelSoft® and the new MP 14 N controller for innovative visual system operation! You always see what you have on inventory thanks to Hänel PictureControl. A camera integrated in the storage system photographs all transactions. In addition to inventory data, HänelSoft® Picture also manages the container photos. A specified number of pictures per container is archived so that inventory changes on the container can be tracked and allocated to specific users. The MP 14 N is perfect for displaying item pictures at the control terminal. The 12-inch touch screen of the high-performance MP 14 N controller sets standards for ease of use. Both item and container images are displayed in optimized high-resolution and in great detail. Based on this photographic information, items on each container can be identified directly on the control unit and automatically brought to the access point. The container photo also shows the system operator where each item should be “put or picked.” This innovative concept helps optimize warehouse operations and dramatically boost efficiency!

Just-in-time tablet press storage for the production line Hänel Lean-Lift® vertical storage systems support component inventory for just-in-time production of tablet presses With production capacity running in high gear, KORSCH AG in Berlin, the specialist for tablet pressing machinery, demonstrates that market demand for its innovative technology continues to rise. To keep pace with this demand, the flow of material to the assembly lines for various types of tablet presses must be efficient and uninterrupted. With this goal in mind, KORSCH reorganized processes and installed 12 Hänel Lean-Lift® vertical storage systems, along with HänelSoft® warehouse management software, for its inventory of small and medium-sized production components. The modern vertical lifts support inventory control and the continuity required for a reliable flow of material and just-in-time manufacturing. Today 90 percent of all internal material flow processes are managed with the Hänel lift systems. KORSCH tablet presses first launched in 1919 KORSCH specializes in the development and production of tablet presses as well as systems for controllers, tablet inspection and data analytics – and has been doing so since 1919. The tablet presses are made in Berlin, Germany, and are in operation around the world. Bernd Magirius, Head of Material Management at KORSCH, explains: “The basis for development and production is our extensive know-how. We are able to offer solutions for nearly every requirement in tablet compression applications. Our products include special presses for research and development, rotary presses for scale-up businesses and for the production of medium-sized batches, not to mention high-performance presses for 24-hour operation.” Revenue growth required restructuring of materials management “In the early 1980s we developed and produced circuit boards for tablet press control units ourselves. The small parts needed for the circuit boards were kept in two Rotomat® storage carousels from Hänel; medium-sized and large parts were stored in bins or on pallets in our high-bay warehouse. With the ‘goods to man’ storage and retrieval machine (SRM), the order picker can work independently and fill job orders for the assembly lines,” says Bernd Magirius. The strong revenue growth of recent years meant that access to items needed for production processes increased dramatically. “We urgently needed a new solution! The bottleneck was the timeconsuming picking process with only one SRM. We reorganized our production warehouse and deployed Navision as our new ERP system: 12 Hänel Lean-Lift® systems were purchased for storing small and medium-sized production components. Today we are able to fill orders for items needed in manufacturing much faster and more efficiently thanks to the ‘goods to man’ principle.” Hänel lifts are used to manage 90 percent of the material flow processes Up to 1,000 items are picked in the production warehouse every day. The pick rate has increased due to strong business growth – in fact, over the past five years the pick rate has doubled! Last year alone the number of pick transactions jumped from 800 to 1,000 per day thanks to the vertical storage systems. Bernd Magirius adds: “Today we manage 90 percent of our material flow with the vertical lift systems. The height-optimized storage provided by the lift systems – from floor to ceiling – results in enormous storage density for maximum capacity. This is a decisive factor because our range of components has grown dramatically. Our inventory has doubled within just two years! The new lifts are absolutely vital for our inventory management processes.” Secure inventory management Some 25,000 articles are stored at 30,000 positions in the production warehouse. Thus the number of positions exceeds the number of articles in stock because when an item is put on inventory, a new storage position is set up along with a batch number in the Navision ERP system, which then sends this number to HänelSoft . For example, if an item not used by the assembly line is returned to the production warehouse, it is assigned a new batch number and put back on inventory in a new storage position. Taking a defined article strategy and optimized routing into account, HänelSoft uses an automatic search function to find the optimal storage position for the article. All put and pick transactions are initiated through Navision and sent in the form of jobs via an interface to HänelSoft. Navision serves as the overarching inventory system and specifies the quantities listed in the job orders. When the jobs are completed, all job data is automatically sent via the interface to Navision for processing. This ensures that the precise inventory status is available at all times. This approach is based on material demand and enables efficient management of just-in-time production. Batch job orders and dynamic lift groups for parallel prepositioning saves time during picking Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario precisely identifies articles specified for picking. Sales, development, manufacturing and service are located at KORSCH headquarters in Berlin, Germany. When production is at its peak, four order pickers operate several lifts in order to fill job orders at the same time. For situations of this kind HänelSoft has an option for defining lift groups that run simultaneously to support fast and dynamic picking. In addition, single jobs can be combined using the aggregated order function on the user interface of HänelSoft – this enables optimized routing and picking in one process step. For example, if a job order is called up on one Lean-Lift , the container of the nearest neighboring lift carrying the next order item is already transported to the access point – this saves an enormous amount of time during item retrieval. Once picking has been completed, the operator presses a button to confirm the transaction and the retrieval data is recorded in the warehouse management system. The picking cycle continues as the next container is advanced to the access point. If only one employee is picking items (for example, on weekends), the vertical lift systems are operated as a cluster. The containers in all 12 Lean-Lift systems can be automatically prepositioned as needed to optimize processes: The vertical lift systems are equipped with photoelectric barriers that enable fully automated transport of the lift containers. Clever put and pick transactions Put and pick operations are performed simultaneously. Putting items into storage is supported by the graphical presentation of the container and its bins as shown on the controller display. One container can accommodate up to eight bins for large components like flange and grate systems, or up to 192 bins for small items like nuts and bolts. Bernd Magirius: “The graphical presentation of the container layout, along with the various bins, enables us to immediately find the right location for an item based on its size. This approach is ideal for conducting put operations on lift systems that are not being momentarily used for pick operations. What’s more, we also don’t have to enter an item’s dimensions into the software – and that saves time.” No mix-ups with Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario The Pick-o-Light®-Vario system from Hänel is comprised of a moving LED pointer installed inside on the panel above the Lean-Lift® access point – it shines a beam of light on the items which should be retrieved from the container. When picking items from up to 192 bins on one container, the Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario system really does reduce mix-ups and picking errors. Two operators for order picking: Container prepositioning saves additional time. The quantities of picked items are confirmed in HänelSoft® and the picking cycle continues without interruption. The new Hänel vertical lifts support the flow of material required for just-in-time production.

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.

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.
