E/Classic - automation for goods up to 4 meters and 500 kg per tray

E/Classic is an automatic storage and picking system from EFFIMAT, which is built as a vertical storage system. Instead of spreading the goods out on the floor, the system utilizes the height of the building.

The goods are stored on trays inside the system. When picking is required, the system finds the relevant tray and presents it in a fixed work opening. For the operator, this means that the work takes place in one place. Picking becomes more controlled, more predictable and less physically demanding.

E/Classic is often chosen by companies that handle large, long or unwieldy goods and at the same time have limited space.

These can be profiles, plates, components or other items that are difficult to store in traditional shelving.

In many of these environments, the goods take up a lot of floor space, but only utilize a small portion of the height in the building. Here, E/Classic provides the opportunity to consolidate storage and create more order, without compromising accessibility.

The system is typically used in production, spare parts warehouses and technical warehouses, where overview and stable handling are more important than extreme picking speed. It is also a natural choice for companies that want to automate part of the warehouse in a controlled manner, starting with the items that take up the most space and are most difficult to handle manually.

One of the biggest advantages of E/Classic is that the warehouse is moved up in height. This means that traditional shelving and wide aisles can be reduced or completely eliminated.

In practice, many companies find that the warehouse footprint can be significantly reduced. Tests and customer cases show up to 75% space savings. The freed up floor space opens up new possibilities.
It could be more production, better packaging areas or simply room for future growth.

Picking becomes more structured and uniform. The system controls the sequence and ensures that the right items are presented at the right time. The operator works in a fixed position with good ergonomics. There is less stress, fewer interruptions and fewer errors. For many, this also means that the quality becomes more stable – regardless of who is at the plant.

When walking, searching and unnecessary handling are eliminated, time is used more efficiently. Picking times are shortened and the flow through the warehouse becomes smoother.

E/Classic makes it easier to keep up the pace throughout the day. It is not dependent on how quickly an employee can move around the warehouse. The result is often faster order processing and a better overview of the day's work.

E/Classic is particularly suitable for goods that take up a lot of space in length or are difficult to handle in traditional shelving systems. These can be long components, profiles, sheets or technical parts, which often end up taking up unnecessary floor space.

In many warehouses, these types of goods are placed on shelves or racks that are difficult to see and require manual handling. With E/Classic, they can be collected in one place and stored in a more structured way, while still being easy to access.

The trays can be adjusted to the dimensions of the goods, so that both length and weight are handled safely.
This provides better space utilization and a more stable workflow, especially when the goods do not fit into standard boxes or small spaces.

For companies with many long or bulky items, this often means fewer special solutions and a more uniform warehouse. This creates an overview and makes daily handling more predictable.

E/Classic is designed as a practical solution that works in real life. The system can be adapted to your processes rather than the other way around. It can be used as a standalone system or connected to warehouse management. The setup is based on how you already work today.

Yes. E/Classic is built modularly, so the solution can grow over time.

Many start with one unit and expand as the need arises. This makes the investment more manageable and less risky. If the volume or complexity increases significantly later, E/Classic can be part of a larger overall solution.

The user interface is simple and logical. The system guides the operator through the task step by step.
This means that new employees can get started quickly. At the same time, the dependence on experience and routine knowledge is reduced. This provides more stable operations - even when staffing changes.

E/Classic is built for continuous daily operation. The mechanical design is simple and proven.
Maintenance is planned and predictable. This results in high uptime and fewer unexpected stops. EFFIMAT supports the solution with service and support as needed.

For many companies, the answer is yes.

E/Classic solves the most pressing challenges around space, overview and efficiency. You get a more compact warehouse, a calmer working environment and a more stable flow. At the same time, you keep complexity down.

If you want a sober assessment of potential and economics, EFFIMAT can take your specific situation as a starting point and show what E/Classic can actually contribute.
