Special Industrial Rack

Every growing production always goes hand in hand with the logistics problem. A properly functioning production facility must carry certain requirements such as effective order in warehouse for fast give in or put out finished or semi-manufactured parts for the next process. There is certainty in that these companies are able to create a professional solution for us, but such a solution will be very expensive.

The main problem was the difference between the shapes of each object (part) and their non-compact shape, which made it impossible to stack these parts on top of each other. Another problem was that I had to use an already purchased mass-produced rack - see here. At the end of the day, this rack was quite small for storing all the necessary parts. Based on this facts I have decided that I use some the building kit system, specifically Item 24. This solution has many advantages as great variability for future changes and conversions.

After finished the design I entrust a drawing documentation to our buyer for order a material for build our special rack. Unfortunatelly the suplier offered an unacceptable price, more then €2,600. Following the rejection of the previous design, I was under time pressure and only had three days to create the same thing (design), but cheaper - the budget was € 400. So I designed a simplified design where I used cold formed carbon steel sheets.

Intital design

The first proposal is based on aluminium profiles and contains full-bulk of intended parts. That design was abandoned due to high cost and unacceptable consuming of time for build.

Final simplified design

Detail (without stored parts)

The second layout used carbon-steel-sheet parts with applying a protective zinc coating. But due to simplification the rack can carry only 80% from reqiered parts.
