Warehouses of the future: when AMRs and stacker cranes work in perfect synergy

A warehouse designed specifically to maximise performance and efficiency makes processes smooth and precise, immediately elevating the entire supply chain.

Today, automated warehouses allow every available metre to be exploited to the full, combining vertical and horizontal storage to ensure rapid, autonomous flows.

In modern architecture, AMRs and stacker cranes do not compete: they cooperate. Let’s find out how the integration between AMRs and stacker cranes makes the two technologies effective and complementary.

Vertical space: where stacker cranes make the difference

Height is an often underutilised resource. Stacker cranes allow vertical space to be exploited extremely efficiently, thanks to:

• intensive storage: storage of goods in the smallest possible space
• Speed and precision: safe and reliable pallet picking and depositing
• maximum productivity: optimal space management

From an architectural perspective, the stacker crane becomes the “vertical axis” of the warehouse: it handles large volumes in a small space, transforming height into logistical value.

Horizontal space: the domain of AMRs

Ground handling in automated logistics systems is now entrusted to Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).

Gli AMR Errevi sono progettati per integrarsi in ambienti di produzione e distribuzione, adattandosi ai layout esistenti e alle esigenze operative di ogni magazzino.

Our Automatic Mobile Robots guarantee:

• greater efficiency: rapid handling with reduced errors
• Safety and punctuality: obstacle detection makes the transfer of goods faster and more accurate.
• Unlimited scalability: they adapt to the continuous growth of the warehouse.

AMRs are therefore the “horizontal axis” of the warehouse, capable of adapting to spaces and changes in incoming and outgoing volumes.

AMR and stacker cranes by Errevi Automation: integrated efficiency for your logistics

The integration of AMRs and stacker cranes allows for the design of complete warehouse automation systems, in which each technology plays a specific role.

Errevi Autonomous Mobile Robots manage horizontal flows: transporting pallets from inbound to buffer areas, feeding production lines, supporting picking and consolidation stations, with autonomous and safe routes. They are ideal for those who want to digitise logistics progressively, without disrupting the existing layout.

Errevi stacker cranes complete the ecosystem by handling high-density vertical storage: rapid picking, long-term reliability and reduced maintenance. Perfect solutions for goods-to-person flows, spare parts and small parts management, automatic buffer feeding and release for shipping.

Conclusion

Integrating AMRs and stacker cranes means rethinking warehouse architecture in vertical and horizontal terms, optimising space and processes.
In automated warehouses, AMR robots ensure flexibility in internal handling, while stacker cranes maximise storage capacity in height.

A combination that allows you to build efficient, scalable logistics systems that are ready to accompany the evolution of your business.
