n automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) is enabling the Lear Corporation factory at Coventry to triple the output of car seats to over 300,000 sets a year in hundreds of different specifications and meet its customer’s just-in-time delivery schedules.
A The ASRS designed and installed
by Nottingham-based Gebhardt European Conveyor Systems Ltd takes components from multi-level storage racking to the production area with minimal manual handling and also replenishes stock, which has freed floor space for production and improved productivity, safety and efficiency.
The racking can store over 20,000 trays of products in two sizes and is served by 14 multi-level shuttles (MLS) in
four of the aisles and a single mini-load crane in the central fifth aisle. This design has a potential throughput of 770 trays/hour to picking stations where items for each order are assembled. Totes with completed orders are delivered by conveyor to a specific drop point in the assembly area.
The ASRS system also enables 185 trays/hour to be delivered from an incoming induction area into the racking.
The shuttles and crane are compact and fast-moving, allowing Lear to have the maximum amount of storage while also achieving the throughput required. All products can be stored in all parts of the system.
The Gebhardt warehouse control system controls all high-level functions in the automation, such as the routing
of the trays on the ASRS and the conveyor systems, the location of the trays in the ASRS, the linking of products with the tray identification, and it also manages the operator (HMI) screens on the system.

ranslyft Lifting Technology is one of the fastest growing suppliers in the lifting sector, providing
bespoke and standard lifting solutions for all commercial environments. We specify, design, install, service and maintain bespoke lift solutions to companies such as Jaguar Land-Rover, BMW and Aldi. Loading bay lifts are ideal when there is no raised dock in manufacturing , distribution and logistics environments or if multi-deck trailers are in use. Translyft also offers a range of dock lifts ideal for
moving goods from traditional raised docks down to ground level or to lower height vehicles which a dock leveller cannot reach. All Translyft lifts are manufactured with high grade materials that are capable of withstanding the demands of heavy-duty environments, including the use of galvanised and stainless steel to combat the worst of UK weather or if hygiene is important.
Lifting Technology Ltd
Our loading bay and dock lifts are constructed with anti-slip chequer plate platforms. Hand rails, interlocked gates and barriers offer full safety to operators and goods being moved and a choice of manual or hydraulic bridging plates ensure safe docking to the vehicle deck. If the lift is greater than 1.6m when raised from the
ground level, front gates behind the bridge plate are mandatory. Once the bridge plate is lowered , these gates are then opened to form side guards to the bridge plate. They must be closed and an interlock made in order for the bridge plate to then raise to the parked position. Manufactured in our factory in Denmark , the build
quality, durability and guaranteed high performance of these lifts will become the benchmark in loading bays and other mechanised workplace environments

Hoists & Cranes from J D Neuhaus offer outstanding Total Cost of Ownership
J
J D Neuhaus (JDN) hoist and crane material handling solutions deliver optimum performance and claim to
offer the best Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in its class. For hoists and cranes, ongoing costs can be largely divided into two categories, direct and indirect costs. While the former include factors such as operating labour, maintenance, utility costs and spare parts, the latter includes unscheduled maintenance and downtime resulting from operational damage to customer products/materials. With a significant percentage of skilled JDN personnel engaged in R&D, users of the company’s advanced hoist and crane products benefit from exceptional reliability, even in the most challenging of environments. This level of performance means that users can operate safely with the knowledge that unscheduled downtime will be minimised, increasing productivity and minimising TCO factors.
