Nearly half of the stock is held in a Kasto Unicompact
honeycomb storage system with 2,272 cassette locations.
From its distribution centre
in Perth, Western Australia,
OneSteel Metalcentre holds
approximately 8,000 tonnes
of different types of steel.
The KASTOlvr warehouse management software ensures
efficient material flow.
Unicompact provides very high storage density,
which for us means shorter distances to move the
material and more space for additional stock or
process steps.
“The goods-to-man storage system has greatly
reduced our access times. At the press of a button,
material is loaded and unloaded from the store and
sent automatically to the picking area. It guarantees
productivity and efficiency in our business.”
He went on to explain that working in the warehouse
has become considerably easier and the process more
reliable. While the store carries out the laborious
loading and unloading of material virtually by itself,
employees have more time for other tasks.
KASTOlvr warehouse management software
controls the processes and gives OneSteel a
detailed overview of orders and stock levels. Every
delivery and individual cassette can be identified
and tracked, helping to avoid delivery errors and
provide customers with a consistently high quality
service. The software has also simplified the task of
consolidating items required for each order.
Mr Cosgrove concluded, “Everyone at OneSteel is
very impressed by the Unicompact storage system. It
enables us to work more quickly, safely, reliably and
efficiently than before.
“Ultimately, this is all to the benefit of our customers,
as they get exactly the material they require from us,
flexibly and in the shortest possible time.
“If additional capacity should be necessary in the
future, the modular Unicompact system can be
easily modified and extended to meet our new
requirements.”
