Fully Open Mould Rack Implementation Case: Solving High-Volume Mould Storage Challenges
The existing mould racks have been in use for too long, and their drawing plates have become deformed, posing potential safety hazards;
The existing mould racks are semi-open, so the moulds cannot be fully exposed, which affects efficiency;
Difficult to access and high safety risks;
The load-bearing capacity and stability are insufficient;
The management is chaotic.
ORION’s baseline plan was as follows:
Frame structure: Three-column framework, using 10# thick channel steel;
Opening method: Fully open type. Each layer has an independent drawer structure that can be fully pulled out along the guide rail.
Number of storage layers and layer height: The height of each layer can be adjusted. A total of 4 layers are designed, and the height of a single frame structure is 2.25 meters.
Number and layout of racks: A total of 6 sets of fully open mold racks were custom-made. Each set has 7 compartments, with a total length of 7.1 meters and a depth of 500 + 300 mm.
Highlights of the plan:
Space optimization: Through the "multi-layer + fully open" design, a single set of frame can store 8 to 10 sets of molds (4 layers, with 2 to 3 sets per layer).
Efficient Access: The fully open drawer enables the inner molds to be pulled out directly to the channel area without moving the outer molds. This shortens the single retrieval time by 75% and enhances efficiency. At the same time, in conjunction with QR code labels, it solves the problem of "difficulty in finding molds".
Safety upgrade: Guide rail buffer device + Safety pin to prevent sliding out.
