Automated Small Parts Storage

Rotte develops tailor-made automated small parts storage systems precisely aligned with your production requirements. In many industries, handling small parts is a critical step in the manufacturing process. Components such as screws, electronic parts, and delicate precision elements must be stored in predetermined containers, boxes, or trays—organized efficiently and with maximum space utilization. Manual storage and retrieval of such components can result in rising error rates as throughput increases. To streamline material flow, reduce access times, and maximize warehouse capacity, automated storage systems are the ideal solution.

Optimized Warehouse Logistics for Maximum Efficiency

The demands on modern small parts storage systems are high: they must offer maximum storage density while ensuring rapid and reliable availability of components. Rotte’s storage systems provide fully automated storage and retrieval using stacker cranes, conveyors, and intelligent control technology to manage materials quickly, safely, and efficiently.

Our high-performance transport systems ensure that every part is delivered just-in-time, decoupling production stages and eliminating delays. With automated slot management, the required components are always available in the correct quantity and sequence—supporting fast throughput and reliable production planning.

Your Custom Small Parts Storage System – Intelligent, Scalable, Efficient

Our systems are based on cutting-edge control and conveyor technologies that enable fast and error-free material handling. Key system features include:

Stacker Cranes for Dynamic and Precise Handling

Each of our systems is equipped with a user-friendly stacker crane that delivers short access times and efficient storage. It moves along the racking aisles automatically, retrieving exactly what’s needed. With intelligent controls, positioning is accurate down to the millimeter—even for sensitive components.

Customised Storage Concepts

Our systems are modular and can be configured to match your space constraints and specific storage requirements. Whether single-aisle or multi-aisle, static or dynamic storage—we develop scalable solutions tailored to your logistics processes. Configurable compartment sizes and adjustable depths allow storage of everything from lightweight plastic parts to heavy metal components.

Smart Control Systems and Seamless Integration

Our storage solutions are equipped with intelligent warehouse management software that optimizes the entire material flow. By integrating with ERP and MES systems, storage movements can be monitored and controlled in real time. The system detects restocking needs, tracks storage duration, and ensures optimal component availability for production—automatically and without manual input.

Application Areas of our Storage Systems

Our storage solutions are implemented across a wide range of industries and are ideal wherever high part variety must be stored in minimal space.
In automotive and mechanical engineering, they ensure fast availability and precise inventory control of parts such as screws, seals, bearings, or electronics, keeping production processes running smoothly.
In electronics manufacturing and medical technology, they provide safe and accurate storage of sensitive components—ensuring gentle handling and just-in-time availability.
In logistics and e-commerce, our systems enable fast and error-free picking, optimized article management, and reduced picking errors—resulting in shorter delivery times and higher warehouse efficiency.

Benefits of Rotte's Automated Small Parts Storage Systems

Our custom-designed small parts storage solutions offer numerous advantages for companies seeking to modernize their logistics:

Through automated storage and retrieval, processes are not only accelerated, but stock shortages and search times are also drastically reduced. Employees no longer need to manually search for components, as they are automatically transported to the picking station. Another key advantage is space-efficient storage. Each customized racking system is designed to make optimal use of the available space, enabling high storage capacity even in confined areas. In addition, our AKL systems enhance process reliability by intelligently managing material flow. With automated inventory monitoring, replenishment needs are detected early—reliably preventing production downtimes.
