Deep-freeze Warehouses
The entire E80 Group's laser-guided vehicles and automatic storages wide portfolio is developed to work even in temperature conditions up to -26° C. In addition to offering high-density automated warehouses, the Group also gives plants the convenient opportunity to automate their existing storage through LGVs, able to perform in sub-freezing plants, to customers who need to increment capacity and do not have space constraints. By automatizing storage solutions through LGVs, food producers and DCs are more flexible and have the possibility to scale up their plants without making additional investments in new infrastructures. Interfacing with multiple systems, LGVs provide reliable raw material and product handling. Moreover, thanks to a combination of logic software and wireless navigation LGVs can perform tasks that are not possible with other transport systems – such as the uniform movement and positioning of pallet loads extremely close to their designated targets, without noise and with a high degree of safety for workers and their operational environment. Focusing on extreme cold temperatures down to -26°C, LGVs, and all their mechanical components have been engineered to function optimally under these deep-freeze conditions. Specially blended steels, oils, greases, and other lubricants for gearboxes, bearings and drives, wiring and electrical cables, and electronic components: all are designed and made for extremely low temperatures and, in the case of the photo-electronic sensors that feed computer information and detect pallets, equipped with heating devices to avoid frost. Automated systems for deep freeze need to include these features, not only to guarantee reliability but also to ensure longevity. Finally, a key factor in LGV operation, particularly in deep freeze environments, is battery performance. LGVs are equipped with lithium-ion batteries, characterized by reduced weight, low maintenance, and less charging time needed, improving the overall performance in deep-freeze warehouses.
