Description

This project features the implementation of an automated storage system for the tool demonstration line-side warehouse of a leading machine tool manufacturer. The system is a large 4-meter model with a single-load capacity of 300 kg, designed for the centralized storage, classified management, and inbound/outbound handling of cutting tools.

Before the upgrade, the customer managed tools with conventional tool racks. Because tool specifications were diverse and visual identification was not always easy, the existing setup often led to management challenges. Open storage also lacked proper access control, while flat, space-consuming storage layouts reduced line-side efficiency and affected the accuracy of tool management.

To address these issues, JY STE Technology introduced a large line-side automated storage system tailored to the needs of the tool demonstration line. The solution incorporates position indication, account-based access control, real-time access records, and a vertical storage design to improve the limitations of conventional tool management.

After implementation, tools can be centrally managed and retrieved more efficiently through the system. This reduces manual identification errors, improves tool status traceability, and enhances the use of line-side space, resulting in a more accurate, secure, and intelligent tool demonstration line management environment.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

PROJECT OVERVIEW

A major machine tool manufacturer implemented a line-side automatic storage system on its cutter demonstration line, replacing the limitations of conventional cutter racks with centralized management, real-time tracking, and improved space utilization. Before implementation, cutters were stored on traditional racks. Because cutter sizes, specifications, and configurations varied widely, personnel had to rely on visual identification and experience, increasing the risk of selecting the wrong cutter and extending search time. After implementing the large-scale 4 m, 300 kg line-side automatic storage system, intelligent location guidance, account-based access control, and real-time access records improved cutter management efficiency and production-line support capability.

1. Project Background: Cutter Management Affects High-Precision Manufacturing Efficiency

In high-precision manufacturing, cutter management efficiency directly affects production-line stability, machining pace, and manufacturing costs. When cutters cannot be retrieved quickly, accurately, and traceably, operators must spend additional time searching and verifying, while incorrect cutter selection may cause delays and management risks.

The manufacturer introduced line-side automatic storage on its cutter demonstration line to address the lack of information integration, limited real-time tracking, excessive line-side floor-space usage, and insufficient access control associated with conventional cutter racks.

With the large-scale 4 m, 300 kg automatic storage system, cutters are centrally stored at the production line and managed through location guidance, account-based access control, and usage-record tracking. This upgrades the cutter demonstration line from conventional rack management to a standardized, digital, and intelligent storage process.

BEFORE / AFTER

Key Differences Before and After Implementation

The operation was upgraded from conventional cutter racks, manual visual identification, and open access to centralized management, intelligent location guidance, access control, and real-time tracking.

Before Implementation | Conventional Cutter Rack Management

Before the automatic storage system was introduced, cutter management relied primarily on conventional cutter racks. As the production line expanded and the number of cutter types increased, the customer faced fragmented information, time-consuming searches, and limited traceability.

  • Cutters were stored on conventional racks without effective information integration
  • The process was unsuitable for standardized and digital management
  • Different cutter sizes, specifications, and configurations required visual identification
  • Operators could select the wrong cutter or spend excessive time searching
  • Open cutter racks provided no effective access control
  • Incomplete usage records made real-time cutter tracking difficult
  • Horizontal rack storage occupied substantial floor space around the production line
  • Factory and line-side storage space was used inefficiently

After Implementation | Large-Scale 4 m Smart Cutter Line-Side Storage

After the large-scale 4 m line-side automatic storage system was implemented, cutters could be centrally managed within a smart storage platform. Location guidance, account-based access control, real-time records, and vertical storage improved cutter retrieval efficiency and line-side space utilization.

  • Cutters are centrally stored in a large-scale automatic storage system
  • Cutter dispatch speed and overall management efficiency are improved
  • Intelligent location guidance supports fast and accurate retrieval
  • Cutter retrieval no longer depends on manual visual identification
  • Personnel must enter account credentials before accessing cutters
  • The system records usage status in real time to establish traceable management
  • Vertical storage reduces the required floor area
  • Space utilization around the production line and throughout the factory is improved

2. Management Challenges Before Automatic Storage Implementation

01

Lack of Information Integration

 

Traditional cutter racks could not effectively integrate information, making standardized and digital management difficult.

02

Visual Identification Increased Selection Errors

Because cutter sizes, specifications, and configurations varied, relying solely on visual identification increased the risk of selecting the wrong cutter and prolonged search time.

03

Insufficient Access Control and Usage Records

Conventional cutter racks were open-access storage areas without effective authorization control or usage records, making real-time cutter status tracking difficult.

04

Excessive Line-Side Floor-Space Usage

 

Traditional horizontal storage occupied substantial space around the production line and reduced factory and line-side storage efficiency.

3. Solution: Large-Scale 4 m, 300 kg Line-Side Automatic Storage

JY STE planned a large-scale 4 m, 300 kg line-side automatic storage system based on the requirements of the machine tool manufacturer’s cutter demonstration line. Centralized cutter management, intelligent location guidance, account-based access control, real-time usage records, and vertical storage upgraded the customer’s conventional cutter-rack process to a smart storage management model. After implementation, cutter retrieval no longer depended on visual identification. The system clearly identified each storage location and maintained complete access records, improving both management accuracy and traceability.
