Storage space for every need –

STILL rack systems.

STILL rack systems – everything from a single source.

An efficiently planned warehouse is the guaranteed way to
achieve high cost-effectiveness. You will benefit from the
professional consultation services of our specialists in the
warehouse planning stage. Our specialists check the warehouse
conditions, item structure and required workflow, and transform
the results into perfect solutions.

STILL helps you to choose the right rack system and is happy to
advise on your choice of trucks.

The rack systems are expertly assembled by specially trained

assembly teams. Coordination with other trades as well as the
coordination and checking of material requirements are just as
much a matter of course for STILL as the certified inspection of
the rack system. Upon request, we will also
carry out the mandatory annual rack inspections for you
(in accordance with DIN EN 15635).

The combination of suitable guide systems, personal protective
equipment and safety features is fundamental for a safe and
smooth flow of goods. It prevents injuries, breakage of goods

connection to an ERP system is required for this.

2. Input via handheld barcode scanner:

If the destination coordinates of the stored goods are in the form of a barcode (e. g. on the accompanying document or
on the good itself), they can be read by a handheld barcode scanner. These coordinates are then converted for the truck
by the iGo pilot navigation interface and used as the basis for the route at a push of a button. In this case, no connection
to the ERP system is required.

3. Transfer of target data by warehouse management system (WMS):

Depending on the level of sophistication and design of the EDP system and on the desired level of convenience, the
system provides various solutions. For example, the driver can select the next order from a pool of orders themselves,
but a more advanced solution makes it possible to transmit the optimum order sequence in consideration of the
corresponding warehouse strategy and in conjunction with a forklift guidance system.
The following communication channels are available as standard:
a. Web service – using a RESTful web service, status information and order data is exchanged between the warehouse
management system and the truck.
b. File transfer – text files are exchanged between the warehouse management system and the
iGo pilot navigation interface. SMB, WebDAV and SFTP are available as file transfer protocols.
c. Telnet – the iGo pilot navigation interface can be linked up to the warehouse management system as a Telnet client.
In all cases the data is exchanged between the relevant warehouse management system and the truck via a WiFi
connection.
