Mondi’s new 210,000 metric ton per annum kraft paper production line in Štětí, Czech Republic started production in 2024. Pesmel’s customized automated sorting buffer connects the production and shipping at the mill.
The new production line is intended to meet growing demand for paper-based, flexible packaging and has started up production in December 2024. The system supplied by Pesmel includes an automated roll warehouse (ARW) with a 3,000 metric-ton capacity for buffering sack kraft paper rolls. The incoming roll flow is first pre-sorted on sorting channels, from where stacker cranes pick-up and store rolls on storing channels. This two-step flow ensures high flexibility, along with full redundancy and re-routing capabilities.
A 32-meter-high deep-lane rack warehouse serves as shipment storage and is operated by two stacker cranes enabling a high storage density crucial in an area with limited space but with very high roll flow. Rolls with different characteristics are constantly produced, so the ARW must organize inventory SKUs (Stock Keeping Unit) according to product type, receiving them in random order and send them out as required. Dispatch loads are automatically retrieved from the warehouse and transported to the loading area via two outfeed lines. The dispatch area is designed for both efficiency and flexibility, allowing simultaneous loading of trucks and trains.
Pesmel’s proprietary Warehouse Management System (WMS) ensures fluid and optimized operation by controlling the warehouse, pre-sorting and dispatching functions, enabling inventory management, product identification and product traceability.
