Description

This project features the implementation of a vertical smart storage solution for the raw material warehouse of NEXCOM International Co., Ltd. The installation includes three large 5-meter automated storage units and two medium-sized 5-meter automated storage units, each with a single-load capacity of 300 kg. The system is designed for the centralized storage of industrial computer components and raw materials, as well as inbound/outbound management and cross-floor multi-unit integration.

Since its establishment in 1992, NEXCOM International Co., Ltd. has built a strong presence in the industrial computing sector. As production capacity expanded and the new Linkou facility was planned, the raw material warehouse began to face several challenges, including time-consuming material searches with conventional racking, limited remaining storage capacity, delayed inventory updates, and insufficient management visibility.

To address these issues, JY STE Technology developed a multi-unit vertical smart storage solution linking the first and second floors, based on the building’s 5- to 6-meter height conditions. This solution enables the customer to upgrade raw material management from a conventional manual approach to a more systematic, digitalized, and automated operation.

After implementation, industrial computer components and raw materials can be centrally managed through a multi-unit control system, improving storage and retrieval efficiency, space utilization, inventory accuracy, and material traceability. The system also preserves flexibility for future ERP/WMS integration and automation expansion, helping NEXCOM’s Linkou facility establish a more efficient and intelligent raw material warehouse management model.

1. Company Background: A Major Intelligent Industrial Computer Provider

Since its founding in 1992, NEXCOM has been committed to being a trusted intelligent solutions partner for global clients, holding a significant position in the global intelligent industrial computer (IPC) field.

As production capacity continued to rise, NEXCOM faced new challenges in managing industrial computer parts and raw materials. Materials stored on traditional metal shelves relied heavily on personnel familiarity with material codes, making verification, retrieval, and picking processes lengthy.

As warehouse space approached saturation, open floor storage could no longer make effective use of vertical height. NEXCOM therefore restarted its vertical smart storage evaluation during planning for the new Linkou plant to improve space utilization, material management transparency, and intelligent logistics efficiency.

2. Project Timeline: From Early Evaluation to the Linkou Deployment

01

Initial Contact in 2020

NEXCOM management noticed APEX’s smart storage system at an international automation exhibition and began further evaluation.

02

Multiple On-Site Planning Visits

The APEX team visited NEXCOM’s Sanmin Plant and Huaya Plant multiple times to conduct storage planning.

03

Linkou Project Restarted in 2025

When NEXCOM planned its new Linkou plant with optimal vertical space of 5 to 6 meters, both parties immediately restarted the vertical storage evaluation.

3. Deployment Solution: Multi-Unit Integration Across 1F and 2F

1F

3 Large Vertical Smart Storage Units

 

Deployed in the 1F raw material storage area, each unit is 5 meters high with a maximum single-tray load of 300 kg for industrial computer parts and raw materials.

2F

2 Medium Vertical Smart Storage Units

Deployed in the 2F raw material storage area using the same 5-meter height and 300 kg maximum single-tray load specification.

Multi-Unit

Unified Multi-Unit Management

 

Storage information from all units on 1F and 2F is vertically integrated into a unified management system.

BEFORE / AFTER

Key Differences Before and After Deployment

The operation was upgraded from traditional metal shelving, manual retrieval, and open-space management to five vertical smart storage units with unified information and automated inbound and outbound records.

Before | Traditional Shelving and Manual Material Management

Before deployment, industrial computer parts and raw materials were stored mainly on traditional metal shelves. Retrieval and verification depended heavily on personnel experience, while open floor storage could no longer support increasing capacity requirements.

  • Material retrieval depended heavily on familiarity with material codes and locations
  • Verification and picking processes were lengthy and labor-intensive
  • Open floor storage could not effectively use vertical height
  • Warehouse volume utilization was approaching its limit
  • Open-space storage was difficult to manage
  • Real-time, systematic automated inbound and outbound records were unavailable

After | Five Vertical Smart Storage Units

After deploying three large and two medium 5-meter vertical smart storage units, the 1F and 2F raw material storage areas are managed through a unified multi-unit system. Systematic electronic material management and automated inbound and outbound recording improve logistics efficiency and management transparency.

  • Three large vertical smart storage units on 1F
  • Two medium vertical smart storage units on 2F
  • Full utilization of the 5-meter vertical space
  • Maximum single-tray load of 300 kg
