Midnight Storage Systems
Compact Storage Solutions
Our tailor-made multi-column automated vertical lift module, SILO², is an innovative vertical storage system with shifting trays spread over multiple storage columns.
Its modular design makes the most of all available space, both vertically and horizontally, adapting perfectly to your storage needs and providing a faster, more ergonomic solution for storage and retrieval operations.
The SILO² automated vertical warehouse operates according to the “goods to person” principle. Using a PC on board the machine or any other mobile device such as a tablet or smartphone with ICON, ICAM’s warehouse management software, operators send and control picking/refilling lists. They then receive the tray containing the requested material at the picking/refilling station, where they can perform the picking or refilling comfortably and safely.
Material handling is carried out with a lift equipped with an automatic gripping and releasing system, which moves vertically between two columns of opposing shelves where the trays containing the stored material are located.
To ensure the safety of the operator during tray handling in the picking/refilling station, there are multi-beam photoelectric barriers and an automatic closing panel. Additionally, emergency buttons are available on the front of the machine to immediately stop the movement if necessary.
Precision, efficiency and profitability with intelligent warehouse management
The brains behind SILO² is ICON. This web-based software, designed and developed entirely by ICAM according to the latest technological standards, responds perfectly to all of the storage and picking needs of the major commercial and industrial sectors. This multilingual and multiple-storage system app offers greater flexibility of interface with the most popular WMS and ERP management software.
