Automatic Sheet Storage Systems
Connected sheet storage for production
Automatic sheet storage systems replace manual handling with robotized solutions that store, locate, and supply material quickly and safely. They turn the warehouse into an active part of production, reducing idle time and improving inventory traceability.
Lantek connects with these systems through specialist manufacturers such as those listed below, as well as general machine builders such as Trumpf and Mazak. This connection links production planning with the real movement of material, keeping software and warehouse operations within the same production flow. Specialist storage system manufacturers:
Real connection between automatic storage and production
- Synchronize production orders with material movements
- Automate sheet loading and unloading at the machine
- Automate sheet loading and unloading at the machine
- Reduce supply errors and waiting times
- Reduce supply errors and waiting times
From storage to cutting without manual handling
The system connects the warehouse directly with cutting machines such as laser and punching systems, ensuring that each order receives the right material at the right time.
This connection makes it possible to:
- Avoid stoppages caused by missing material
- Reduce unnecessary handling
- Improve the use of sheet metal and remnants
- Improve production planning
A solution adapted to your plant
Each factory has its own conditions. For that reason, the goal is not to install a standard system, but to connect the automatic warehouse to the real production flow.
We analyze:
- Type of machinery
- Material volume and turnover
- Current level of automation
- Existing systems, including ERP, MES, and CAD/CAM
From there, we define the most suitable connection for your operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
In this section you can find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.
Modern automated sheet metal storage systems can also connect with MES, ERP, and CAD/CAM software to synchronize material movements with real production orders.
They also support automated material handling for sheet metal, reducing operator workload and improving shop floor efficiency.
As a result, manufacturers gain better traceability, more accurate inventory control, and improved production scheduling.
Storage automation for laser cutting is especially common in high-volume production environments where fast and reliable material flow is critical.
The result is a more stable and continuous production flow.
- Faster material availability
- Reduced manual handling
- Improved inventory traceability
- Lower risk of material errors
- Better machine utilization
- Higher production efficiency
A smart sheet metal warehouse also supports better decision-making by connecting real warehouse activity with MES and ERP systems.
Flexible sheet storage system integration is essential for manufacturers operating mixed machine brands and different production technologies.
This reduces inventory errors and improves production control.
- Lower handling time
- Reduced material waste
- Faster production flow
- Improved machine uptime
- Better warehouse organization
The return depends on production volume, current automation levels, and the complexity of the manufacturing environment.
Automated sheet loading systems reduce waiting times between jobs and help maintain uninterrupted production flow.
Combined with connected sheet storage and MES integration for storage systems, manufacturers can optimize scheduling, improve machine utilization, and increase overall cutting capacity.
