Production in step

Secure throughput, keep material flows stable

In industrial and production plants, a stable material flow is crucial for cycle times, output and security of supply. Intermediate storage areas must buffer peaks without blocking space. Staging and picking zones require ergonomic access, clear labeling and safe transfers directly at the line.

Efficient production logistics are created by clearly defined zones, fixed reach heights, sustainable routes and clear docking points. This reduces set-up times, keeps stocks transparent and makes materials available as required - from goods receipt to production.

To ensure that systems grow with new items, series and batch sizes, META plans storage and steel construction solutions ready for automation right from the start. Floor changes, transfers and identification points are provided so that conveyor technology and control systems can be integrated later without process interruption.

Robust, scalable, close to the line

META structures for smooth production supply

META develops warehouse and steel construction structures that are consistently oriented towards material flow. Intermediate storage, warehouses and buffer zones are arranged in such a way that short distances are created between incoming goods, order picking, pre-assembly and the production line. Clearly defined storage and retrieval points as well as safe transfers ensure stable processes and a reliable supply to production.

Safety and ergonomics are an integral part of the planning. Load capacities, reach and positioning heights as well as escape and safety routes are designed to meet requirements. Additional levels or functional zones can be added flexibly - even during ongoing operation and with increasing capacity utilization.

META solutions are prepared for expansion and automation right from the start. Floor changes, transfer points and identification points are designed in such a way that conveyor technology, FIFO throughput concepts and control systems can be seamlessly integrated later on. This keeps cycles stable and processes manageable - even with changing series, batch sizes and peak loads.

META solutions for industry & production

Components for stable line supply and service stocks

META combines shelving technology, wide-span and cantilever racking and - if required - META-ILS to create resilient material and information flows. The modules are designed on a project-specific basis so that buffer storage is decoupled, picking paths remain short and transfers between warehouse, assembly and line function reliably.

Real-world example

Individual - instead of a template

Your efficient storage solution - cleverly planned, close to the line, scalable

We analyze your material flows, intermediate and buffer storage, picking and storage heights and transfers to the line. This results in a modular design with clear zones - efficient during operation, scalable for growth and ready for automation if required.

We are happy to discuss your requirements in person and develop a solution that suits your processes.

Concrete answers for industrial processes

Frequently asked questions about planning, buffering and automation

Here you will find compact, practical answers to planning and operating industrial storage and production solutions - from interim storage, magazines and buffers to store floor processes, safety, compliance and automation. If you have any further questions, we will be happy to provide you with personal advice.

For which companies are META solutions suitable?

From medium-sized manufacturers to corporate locations. We scale according to cycle, volume and batch sizes - from two-storey areas to multi-storey facilities.

How does META plan interim storage, warehouses and buffers along the material flow?

Zones are arranged along incoming goods, picking, pre-assembly and the production line - with short distances, defined storage/retrieval points and secure transfers.

Can existing systems be expanded or extended?

Yes. Modular architecture enables additional levels, zones or transfer points - depending on statics, approval and operation.

Which systems are suitable for semi-finished products, profiles and bulky goods?

Cantilever (e.g. MULTISTRONG) for pipes/profiles/semi-finished products, wide span (SPEED-RACK) for bulky crates/components, pallet racking (MULTIPAL) for pallets/piece goods

.

Does META support external bearings for heavy loads?

Yes. MULTISTRONG HEAVY in hot-dip galvanized design with optional canopy/side walls and static design for wind/snow/roof loads.

Can automation be integrated - even later?

Yes, we plan ready for automation: floor changes, transfers and identification points are planned. META-ILS integrates conveyor technology, vertical conveyors, sorters as well as identification/measurement modules and the control system.

How does META take safety and compliance into account?

Loads, reach and positioning heights, escape/safety routes, marking; for steel construction, verifiable structural analysis according to Eurocode on request.

Does META offer advice and planning on site?

Yes. Analysis of material flows, loads, routes, level changes and interfaces - on request with on-site inspection and inventory.

What services are available after commissioning?

Maintenance and inspection, spare parts, adaptations/extensions, training and support for integrated META-ILS components

.

How fast is the implementation?

Depending on scope, statics and approval. Standardized modules speed up planning, production and installation. You will receive a rough timeline after the initial consultation and data collection.

Can existing areas (e.g. outdoor storage, zones close to hazardous substances) be integrated?

In many cases, yes. We check dimensions, loads, access routes, weather protection and connection to walkways/conveyor routes.

Does META support IT integration (WMS/ERP/IIoT)?

Yes. Definition of parking space/barcode standards and interface requirements; coordination with your system partners.
