Viscon Matrix storage system

The Viscon Matrix storage system is a fully automated system to store, sort and further handle products like pallets and similar sized articles. These different loads can even be handled at random within the same system.

The system operates with innovative wireless satellites instead of traditional chain-driven storage lanes or telescope movements. Vertical conveyors distribute the load to the required levels. Every level contains at least one horizontally moving shuttle, which transports the load to the required storage lane. The shuttle carries a self-powered satellite device that runs on rails in the storage lanes for loading and unloading pallets. Viscon’s fully integrated in-house software ensures efficient routing and comes standardised or custom made.

The storage system has many advantages compared to products like stacker cranes (AS/RS systems), including: a 70% increase in storage density, according to the company; 24/7 capacity; high performance, due to simultaneous orders on each individual layer; a compact design that ensures optimal use of the user’s building area; low maintenance, due to a minimal amount of driven components; safe access, by moving components to one side; and control software which can be integrated seamlessly. It is flexible and functional in temperatures as low as -30°C.
