Sustainability with Craftsman Automation’s Storage, Retrieval, and Inventory Control Solutions Organisations now place a high premium on operations that are efficient and sustainable.
In addition to being morally required, adopting sustainable practices—such as minimising environmental damage, cutting waste, and putting circular economy ideas into practice—is also strategically imperative. Numerous green techniques also boost productivity, which lowers expenses overall. For example, firms may reduce supply chain costs, draw in eco-aware customers, and improve their reputation by giving sustainability top priority in inventory management.
Making the Most of Space in Textile Storage
One of the most important resources is manufacturing space, especially for the manufacture and storage of textiles. Craftsman Storage Systems are designed to maximise the amount of space that is accessible. offering complete storage solutions that improve operating flow, increase storage density, and expedite material movement.
Traditional Inventory Management’s Drawbacks
Due to manual procedures, traditional inventory management techniques can result in serious operational problems, such as errors and inefficiencies. dependence on paper documents or simple Spreadsheets might result in inaccurate stock counts, misplaced items, and trouble keeping track of inventory in real time. Stockouts, overstocking, and higher operating expenses might be the outcome of these problems. Additionally, manual methods take a lot of time and effort, which slows down inventory procedures and makes it more difficult for a business to react swiftly to market needs. Accurate forecasting and efficient supply chain disruption management are further hampered by a company’s lack of automation and real-time data.
Advanced Textile Storage Systems by Craftsmen
Modern, specialised storage solutions for a range of sectors, including textiles, are offered by Craftsman Storage Systems, a branch of Craftsman Automation Ltd. Since its founding in 1986, the business has expanded quickly to surpass ₹4000 crore in revenue, with 8 production sites and over 3200 employees. It offers a wide variety of product kinds and specialised in custom storage solutions. Their textile storage solutions are specifically designed to minimize floor space while ensuring cost- effectiveness, efficiency, speed, and ergonomic benefits that meet the automatic material storage and retrieval needs of their clients.
Craftsman, a pioneer in the storage systems market, provides customised solutions for the textile industry. Our sophisticated storage solutions offer flexibility and dependability, which are essential in the quick-paced textile sector, with an emphasis on optimising resource use and simplifying material flow.
The Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (ASRS)
offered by Craftsman are made to manage roll and palletised storage for textile producers. These include stacker cranes with one or two masts and telescopic or straight roll forks. Systems with fully automated storage procedures allow for the safe and efficient recovery of a wide variety of textile products at high throughputs. To optimise warehouse capacity, single deep, double deep, or multi-deep storage may hold loads up to 3000 kg at heights of up to 40 meters, running and lifting speeds of 2.5 and 1 meters per second, respectively.
Solutions for Textile Manufacturers to Store Rolls
Innovative methods for handling big quantities of fabric rolls are provided by Craftsman Storage Systems. With a noteworthy 65% improvement in floor space utilisation, this system is a great option for warehouses looking to maximise the amount of space they have.
Direct Roll Storage: This method provides extremely effective space utilisation storage by doing away with the requirement for pallets and is perfect for a range of fabric rolls. ERP syncing, FIFO management, single/multiple roll picking, and height customisation for maximum vertical are important features.
Palletised Roll Storage: For high throughput and effective palletised roll handling, our ASRS systems make use of telescopic forks. These systems have high-efficiency drives, can operate around-the-clock, and can be adjusted for warehouse height.
Multi-Deep Shuttle ASRS: High-Density Textile Warehouse Solutions It is an automated pallet storage system that combines many equipment types that work together, such as a shuttle carrier, a pallet shuttle driven by an ultra-capacitor, a buffer conveyors and pallet lifters.
Pallet Transportation Systems: For manufacturing, storage, and dispatch, warehouse operations need a constant flow of commodities. Using automated or manually operated workstations, craftsmen create adaptable and affordable pallet conveyor systems that are appropriate for assembly lines or storage facilities, boosting output and cutting expenses. Pallets of all sizes may be transported between locations with this technology, which also automatically loads and unloads them while carefully regulating their pace.
Automated Bin Storage for Accessories and Trim
With a 50 kg tote capacity, the micro load shuttle ASRS is made to carry smaller things like trimmings, spare parts, and packaging materials. Because to its modular architecture, scaling is simple. making it perfect for fast-moving inventory in textile supply chains.
Benefits of ASRS include:
- Increasing the warehouse system’s storage density through optimal space utilisation
- Savings on labour and space costs
- Craftsman’s load handling attachments allow for optimal material sequencing, single, double, and multi-deep
- pallet selectivity, and optimal solutions for all unit loads.
- Pallet throughput is guaranteed, machine management is straightforward with plug-and-play options
- for quicker commissioning, and operation is low maintenance and noise-free.
In conclusion
it is now crucial to manage inventories effectively while keeping sustainability in mind. Businesses may minimise waste, maximise stock levels, and implement ecologically friendly procedures. reduce their environmental impact, boost revenue, and enhance their reputation all at once.
