FEM 9.101 - Guideline / Terminology – Dictionary Storage and Retrieval Machines - Definitions (English/German)

FEM 9.101-EN

This document has been produced as a guide, which gives a general overview of the storage and retrieval machine (SRM) and related topics. Construction-specific criteria as well as operation-specific criteria will be discussed. It contains a functional description of the assemblies for the construction of an SRM and furthermore of all components related to the technical implementations at the state of the art. The practical use and operation procedures of an SRM will also be discussed.

The aim of these guidelines is to provide a definition and the appropriate terminology of the SRM. Subjects such as calculations, selection criteria of individual components, the realisable throughput or appropriate cycle times, must be delimited and are not part of this guideline. All standards dealing with SRM are listed in clause 2. This enables the reader to take a closer look at the topics that are relevant for him.
