Question 1

What types of Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) does Craftsman offer?

Accepted Answer

We are the leading ASRS Manufacturer, and we offer a wide range of Storage Solutions based on the type of load. These include the Pallet ASRS Crane (for pallets on the crane), Mini Load Systems (totes and bins), and a VStore Vertical Lift Module (VLM) (high-density system for small parts). For Carton picking, there is the Multi-Level Shuttle System using PLC communication or a completely automated Radio Shuttle Racking system capable of deep lane storage with high speeds.

Question 2

Which are the best Industrial Shelving System solutions for heavy-duty, long-span storage?

Accepted Answer

Our Long-Span Shelving System is the perfect solution for your large-capacity, non-palletized requirements. The Heavy-Duty Long-Span System is an elastic system that provides beam-level height adjustability and an extensive selection of decking options to meet the requirements for manually picking large or heavy inventories.

Question 3

Does Craftsman provide custom Warehouse Storage Solutions for specific industries like FMCG, Manufacturing, or Cold Chain?

Accepted Answer

We offer a high-throughput FIFO system for the FMCG industry, a unique type of cantilever and tool storage for the Manufacturing sector on the F1 production line, and a cold chain that features a painted and high-density rack design to withstand sub-zero conditions.

Question 4

How do you ensure the stability and safety of high-rise Racking Systems?

Accepted Answer

As an Industrial Racking Manufacturer, we meet strict safety and compliance requirements through strict engineering and quality standards. We utilize high-tensile steel, which has a better design life and high load capacity through an advanced structural analysis and design rack according to its seismic load factor and the load capacity of the floor slab. We also achieve stability by using hefty baseplates, row spacers and bracing.

Question 5

Does Craftsman provide in-house design, manufacturing, and installation services?

Accepted Answer

We operate with complete in-house design, production, and software teams. With a dedicated team, we offer post-installation manpower support. When combined with smart warehouse technologies and data insights, the Warehouse Rack Systems increase efficiency, optimize space and achieve clear returns on their investment (ROI).

Question 6

How will Rack Clad or Mezzanine systems improve my warehouse space?

Accepted Answer

A Rack Clad Warehouse utilizes your load-bearing racking system for the building itself, which eliminates posts and improves usable height. Mezzanine Systems are for existing warehouses to add a second or third level of square footage within the existing space for offices or light storage.

Question 7

What are the key advantages of using your Pallet ASRS Systems?

Accepted Answer

The Pallet ASRS delivers 3 key benefits: maximum density, speed, and accuracy. It achieves this by handling pallets through very narrow aisles at a maximum height of up to 40 meters. It removes any human error from pallet handling and reduces the restocking cycle time. It operates in the most harsh temperature zones, such as cold stores, and reduces warehouse running costs by removing the need for climbing forklifts and storage operatives.

Question 8

How can I contact someone for a quote or technical support for my storage system?

Accepted Answer

You can reach us through the Contact Us section of our official website. We have an online inquiry form under 'Get a Quote' where you can share your specific project requirements. For urgent or technical inquiries, we provide direct phone numbers and email addresses for our regional offices. Our expert engineers are also available to conduct site surveys and set up maintenance programs.

Question 9

How can a Multi-Level Shuttle System achieve higher throughput for small carton picking compared to manual methods?

Accepted Answer

The Multi-Level Shuttle system employs several individual shuttles on each level of the rack to retrieve cartons simultaneously. Instead of a single crane transporting items one by one, several shuttles cooperatively carry goods to high-speed lifts. This rapid 'Goods-to-Person' application significantly decreases retrieval time and searching.

Question 10

How does the Craftsman WMS integrate processes from receiving to dispatch and real-time inventory control?

Accepted Answer

The WMS (Warehouse Management System) acts as the central control system of the warehouse. It keeps track of every SKU from the moment of scan-in receiving, allocating an optimal storage location. For dispatch, it directs the ASRS Cranes/Shuttles to locate and retrieve inventory in sequence. By integrating with your ERP, you can monitor stock levels in real time, which eliminates challenges and ensures 100% inventory control.
