IHI’s automated storage/retrieval system for roll-type objects pursues storage efficiency in an effort to achieve quality control, shorten work hours, and provide first-in, first-out handling for roll-type objects, including papers, coils, and films..
Further, IHI is able to create a 24/7 shipping environment for roll-type objects without the need for a human operator by closely linking production lines and automated storage for roll-type objects with unmanned automatic guided vehicles (AGV).
