Automated storage technology goes even higher

Sliding racks have evolved over the years, changing their design elements and drive. Initially, they were moved using a special handle or crank using the strength of human muscles to move. Currently, Międzynarodowe Centrum Budownictwa Sp. z o.o. recommends electric drive and microprocessor controlled mobile racks.

With electric drive

Mobile racks MCB Sp. z o.o. they run on rails embedded in the floor or paved with their own floor filling the space between the shelves. Above the rails there is a chassis, equipped with road wheels and a single-phase 24 V DC electric motor (so-called safe) with an appropriately selected gear. The power of the electric motor is 50 W. The multi-speed gearbox located behind the motor ensures long life and high efficiency. The high quality and durable construction is adapted to carrying heavy loads, up to 15 tons per one row of mobile racks. The chassis has advanced safety systems, among others. photocells (when the laser beam is cut, the racks stop), a distance sensor (responsible for maintaining the set distance between the racks) and MCMS - load control system for the drive system (allows you to react to overloads of the motor driving the rack in the event of encountering an obstacle while driving and is one of the elements of the passive safety system). The racks, regardless of the transferred load, begin and end their movement with a constant acceleration, and they travel the work space at a constant speed, regardless of the load. On the mobile bases, there are shelves of various designs tailored to the requirements of users. The racks can have full or openwork Sysco or Compact walls made of powder coated steel. For particularly loaded racks, we offer walls made in the HI280 openwork technology - rack elements made of galvanized steel sheet. The racks can be equipped with: shelves, drawers, shelf dividers, slats supporting the contents, pull-out frames, support beams, etc. On the front wall of the rack there is a control panel with a Dynamic II touch screen.

Microprocessor control Dynamic II

DYNAMIC II is a modern operating system that controls and controls the movement of racks moving at a constant speed regardless of their load. Thanks to the use of the "soft start and stop" function, vibrations and the influence of inertia on the stored objects, which remain in their place during them, are eliminated. The operating panel can be controlled and controlled by manual control from the touch screen or remotely from a smartphone or tablet. Remote control is carried out using a Wi-Fi signal generated by the desktop. No internet connection or SIM card required.

The local Wi-Fi network generated by Dynamic II enables the control system to cooperate with other intelligent warehouse systems such as fire protection, lighting, ventilation and air conditioning systems. In addition, the mobile functions of the Dynamic II system enable remote diagnostics and control of correct operation, including the transmission of information about errors in the system operation. The operation is simple and completely safe for the user. The system supports the following languages: Polish, English, Dutch, German, Danish, Italian and French. The control panel also allows you to control access to individual shelves. The use of the device may be limited by an electronic PIN code or a magnetic RFID card. A different PIN code and a different RFID card can be allocated separately for each row of racks or for any number of them. Mobile functions allow you to control who is using a given rack and when.

Automatic security system

The control system is equipped with a unique "Automatic Safety System". This function fully protects the operator, the stored materials and the racks themselves from damage in the event that a person or stored items are found in the space between the racks during the rack movement. When we initiate the rack movement process, the system automatically controls the space between the racks using an image recognition program. When we want to close the door, the system compares the actual state with the image recorded immediately after sliding the racks apart. If people, objects or elements protruding beyond the outline of the racks are detected in the space between the racks, the passage will not be closed.

Multi-level mobile racks

The Double Decker multi-level shelving system is an extension of the Compactus sliding rack system with electric drive and Dynamic II control for high rooms. These are multi-level mobile racks, and at the same time an ideal design and technological solution in high rooms above 4.5 m. Double Decker provides a fourfold increase in storage capacity compared to stationary racks, while being extremely simple and safe to use. Double Decker sliding racks is a two-level racking system with its own mezzanine, based on the side walls of the lower level of mobile racks. This solution allows for more effective use of high rooms, and the own mezzanine enables the operation of high racks without the use of additional ladders, trolleys, specialized means of transport, etc. The mezzanine can be made as a full floor or a Vema grating. The Double Decker construction uses and uses all the elements and benefits of Dynamic II mobile racks. In addition, multi-level mobile racks allow you to resign from the need to divide high rooms with ceilings into smaller volumes. This solution does not require a building permit. It eliminates the cost of constructing a ceiling and reduces the costs of ventilation, air conditioning, heating, fire protection systems and lighting. The construction of a single-storey building, as compared to a multi-storey building, requires significantly less financial outlays, and construction and installation works last shorter. In the case of multi-storey buildings, it is necessary to duplicate the installation at each level, which entails a multiplied cost of both construction and operation. The mezzanine area is not counted when determining the base of the annual real estate tax, as opposed to the area of ​​separate floors. Double Decker sliding racks with an electric drive have an implemented Dynamic II microprocessor control system. In one system of racks offered by Międzynarodowe Centrum Budownictwa Sp. z o.o. you can combine multiple functions to create a centralized storage unit tailored to your individual needs. We enter the future with the Double Decker system.

We are expanding our offer with a new solution for warehouses that combine the design and functionality of electric drive systems and highly durable warehouse racks.

Electrically powered sliding racks are a dynamic solution that can double the load capacity of the warehouse within the existing space compared to standard pallet racks.

The combination of electric rack chassis and sides and beams / shelves of pallet racks allows for the storage of pallets, optimizing the cost and storage space.

Technical parameters of the racks:

Height [mm]	Lenght [mm]	Depth [mm]	Load capacities
From 1750 to 4500 in multiples of 250	1000	400	Up to 1500 kg/level
	1250	500	Up to 4500 kg/bay uniformly distributed and depending on configuration

The state of emergency in Ukraine requires solidarity and support from us.

As part of the help in the evacuation of collections from areas endangered by war, we have delivered mobile and stationary racks to warehouses in our eastern neighbor to:

• The National Museum in Lviv named after Andrzej Szeptycki
• Memorial Museum of Totalitarian Regimes
• Lviv National Scientific Library of Ukraine Vasyl Stefanyk

This is to protect monuments and cultural heritage in Ukraine.

The rollers are driven by an electric motor. The average speed of descent and entry of the fights is 5 cm / s. They run on specially profiled treadmills that are adjusted to the storage height (up to 4 meters).

As standard, they are powder coated with epoxy paint in RAL9002 color. Painting takes place after all holes and technological bends are made. In order to provide better anti-corrosion protection, the steel sheet is protected with a phosphate coating with a thickness of min 500 mg / m2.

They are controlled by a special remote control.

The new standard in safety

In November 2020, we introduced a new solution that guarantees the full security of the electric drive racking system. The cameras are ideal for museums, archives, warehouses, etc. with increased safety standards for stored facilities.

Entry detection

The passive infrared (PIR) technology in our modern system detects a person entering an open passage. The combination of the camera with our LED inter-rack lighting system ensures that the open corridor is used as long as the lights are on. Detection of entry allows the system to know if someone will enter a closing corridor and stop the movement of the system, further increasing the safety of users.

Person or object detection

The automatic slide safety system takes a picture of the open and empty passage. Whenever someone wants to close a doorway, the system compares the actual situation with the saved image of an empty doorway. If people or objects (larger than A5 or 300 cm2) are detected in the doorway, the door will not be closed and it will return to the passive safety procedure (system movement is stopped and the "eye" icon is displayed on both sides of the door. The user must press both " eyes ", one by one while looking at the open passage. This visual safety ensures that the user looks into the passage and makes sure that he can pass the mobile rack)

GDPR compliant

Our automatic slide safety system is GDPR compliant, only storing an image of an empty transition. The processing of images of the empty transition and the current situation between the rack is done directly in the camera, at the moment, it is not possible to download or export the image.

Additionally, we invite you to watch the video showing the work of the new security system: <click here>

The new Dynamic II Remote Control App, available for IOS and Android, gives users the ability to open the desired corridor by remotely operating Compactus® Dynamic II mobile storage systems. Multiple systems can be linked together to form a single unit for easy operation with the Dynamic II Remote Control App.

Advanced safety features such as photocells and the all-new Safety Master keep users and livestock safe.

To optimize the pick-up and return processes, Dynamic II Remote Control includes an inventory system:

• Assign inventory on each side of the corridor;
• View inventory in the hallway;
• Search for objects using keywords, find and open the correct corridor.

Roland van der Velden, Innovation Manager at Bruynzeel Storage Systems: “Using your own intelligent system control device also has hygienic advantages. Combined with our unparalleled security systems, we provide customers with the most secure storage solutions on the market".

Międzynarodowe Centrum Budownictwa is always guided by the highest usability standard of the shelves. Our many years of experience in the furniture industry allow us to understand the needs and requirements of each person. We know how important it is to safely store objects.

The variety of accessories and many functions in the Dynamic II rack controller allows you to meet every required need to be able to enjoy the comfort of using the racks.

The electric rack control system allows us to obtain the optimal rack movement. Thanks to the smooth movement function, the stored objects remain in their place. The commencement of the racking movement with a uniformly accelerated movement, then the transition to a uniform, rectilinear movement to end with a uniformly delayed movement is an ideal solution for any item stored on the mobile racks.

Dynamic II is compatible with many accessories, such as LED lights that turn on when the inter-rack aisle is opened. This solution allows to illuminate the stored objects without the need to install a special external circuit in the rooms.

Additionally, the racks can be programmed in the "ventilation mode", which opens inter-rack aisles at equal distances. This ensures better air circulation in the shelves.

In addition, the racks can be equipped with special side walls, which are characterized not only by a great design but also by high usability and flexibility of configuration.

For more information, please contact us! Our design and sales department will answer every question and help you choose the right solution free of charge!

Międzynarodowe Centrum Budownictwa is always associated with high quality, comfort of use, but also a high priority for safety.

All our sliding racks meet international safety standards (OHS).

Mobile racks with electric drive have a built-in overload protection system that works when resistance is encountered. The increase in the current intensity in the motor causes its work to be interrupted and the racks to withdraw in order to break the pressure on the object located inside the inter-rack aisle.

On special request, the mobile racks can include:

• photocell system (when the laser beam is interrupted, the racks stop and then retreat approx. 10 cm; instructional video: <click here>),
• safety master (a camera that compares the original image with the current situation in the inter-rack aisle; more information: <click here>),
• passive safety (the movement of racks requires user approval on control panels that the inter-rack aisle is empty).

Existing installations with electric shelving can also be expanded with the functions mentioned above. All you need to do is contact our design and sales department and discuss the details of the project.

Please do not hesitate to contact us!
