In 2019, a leading automotive seat manufacturer in Thailand visited Zhuku to seek solutions for improving warehouse management efficiency and production logistics.
Before the project implementation, the customer faced challenges including disorganized warehouse operations, inefficient pallet handling, and limited inventory management visibility. Based on the customer's production process and storage requirements, Zhuku designed a complete automotive automated warehouse solution integrating stacker cranes, vertical lifts, and conveyor systems.
The solution enabled automatic pallet transportation, storage, and retrieval, helping the customer achieve a more efficient and intelligent warehouse operation.

Project Highlights
Fully Automated Pallet Logistics
Through the integration of stacker cranes, lifts, and conveyors, pallets can complete the entire process from production line to storage and outbound without repeated manual handling, achieving efficient automated logistics.
Customized Stacker Crane Configuration
Zhuku combined single-depth and double-depth stacker cranes according to the customer's storage and access requirements, balancing storage density and operational efficiency.
Production and Warehouse Integration
The automated system connects manufacturing processes with warehouse operations, improving material flow efficiency and supporting continuous production logistics.
Zhuku Solution: Automotive AS/RS Stacker Crane Automated Storage System
Zhuku provided a customized ASRS solution based on the customer's automotive manufacturing requirements.
The system includes:
- 2 Single-depth Stacker Cranes
- 1 Double-depth Stacker Crane
- 6 Vertical Lifts
- Approx. 200m Conveyor System
The stacker cranes are responsible for high-density pallet storage and retrieval, while vertical lifts and conveyors complete automatic pallet transfer between different areas.
Main Equipment
Stacker Crane SystemThe stacker crane system is the core storage equipment of the project. By utilizing vertical warehouse space, it significantly improves storage density compared with traditional pallet storage methods. The combination of single-depth and double-depth designs provides:
|
Vertical Lift SystemSix vertical lifts are installed to connect different warehouse levels and transfer pallets automatically. The lifting system reduces manual transportation requirements and ensures smooth material flow throughout the warehouse. |
Conveyor SystemApproximately 200 meters of conveyor lines are integrated into the warehouse. The conveyor system provides automatic pallet transportation between:
creating a continuous logistics process. |
Project Results
After the implementation of Zhuku's automated warehouse solution, the customer achieved:
- Fully automated pallet storage and retrieval
- Reduced manual material handling
- Improved warehouse management efficiency
