      • Storage Systems

      • CTI’s extensive product portfolio, combined with our ability to design tailor-made technology and solutions to meet the customer’s precise requirements, allows us to deliver the ideal storage solution for any application. From high-bay warehouses fitted with cantilever racking to storage towers and stacker cranes, CTI has the expertise in technology and system design to produce best-in-class storage and intralogistics facilities that meet the demands of industrial customers worldwide.

          • High-bay storage systems

          • High-bay storage systems, often implemented in clad-rack execution for new building projects, can also be adapted to operate within existing facilities. These solutions are designed to meet the physical dimensions of the customer’s production site and the characteristics of the stored products. The aisles in high-bay storage systems are served by stacker cranes that access each storage position or picking location, with operational heights reaching up to 40 meters.

            High-bay warehouses can feature Honeycomb or Cantilever racking, among other solutions. Honeycomb storage is ideal when it comes to long products being stored in depth and requiring direct access. Alternatively, Cantilever racking can be used depending on the product. Cantilever arms are connected to the upright sections of the racking structure, facilitating easy storage and retrieval of complex or bulky materials of almost any length

          • Floor storage

          • When a building’s floor-to-eaves height is too restricted to accommodate high-bay storage technology, CTI Systems can design automated storage systems that store materials directly on to the facility’s floor. Suitable for many different industries and product-types, floor storage systems are usually served by automated overhead cranes. Offering fast and direct access, each CTI floor storage system is designed to suit site conditions and the application’s throughput requirements.

          • Lift and run dynamic storage system

          • CTI has pioneered lift and run dynamic storage technology for long profiles/ parts. Designed for facilities where a significant number of different product lines are organized and processed at high speed, sophisticated lift and run solutions are an ideal choice for commissioning lines.

            The system comprises a highly innovative combination of honeycomb racking, high-speed shuttles, and goods lifts. This configuration ensures ultra-efficient handling of long parts and optimal flow speeds, minimizing 'dead time' at every stage of the production process.

            The main characteristics of lift and run dynamic storage systems are:

            • a storage capacity as per requirements (often between 50 and 400 storage locations),
            • dynamic throughput capacity ranging from 60 to 120 combined cycles per hour, in general adaptable according to requirements,
            • modular, flexible and scalable solutions to match your business’s needs and
            • compatibility with other storage systems and automated or operator-controlled picking devices.

          • Honeycomb storage system

          • The honeycomb storage system is a proven solution utilized in various industry sectors worldwide. This high-density system allows for the safe and efficient storage of large quantities of long items. The direct access provided by honeycomb solutions ensures a highly efficient storage and retrieval process, making it an ideal option for facilities requiring optimal cycle times.

            Key characteristics:
            • high storage density,
            • customizable capacity (typically ranging from 800 to 8000 storage locations) and
            • optimal throughput rates.
            Design options:
            • available in single or double-sided aisle formats,
            • flexible configuration of storage and retrieval machines, including single or double-swap tables if needed,
            • free-standing, roof- and wall-bearing construction options for maximum design flexibility within existing or new buildings,
            • partitioned cassettes for additional system adaptability,
            • adaptable to any profile length, from standard sizes to 20 meters and
            • dedicated stock management software (WMS) to ensure pick accuracy.

          • Stacked storage

          • Floor-stacked storage warehouse is a cost-efficient solution as they do not require a racking structure. Loads are simply stacked at floor level, either one on top of another or in cassettes. Depending on the product, stacking heights of 6 or 7 levels can be achieved with this highly compact solution, which is widely used in facilities where floor space is limited. CTI’s warehouse management software ensures access to the required load.

            Benefits of a stacked storage system:
            • the most compact storage solution,
            • very high storage capacity,
            • compatibility with buildings with an eave’s height of 6 meters or more,
            • single or multiple stacking rows and
            • modular, flexible, and scalable design that can adapt to a business’s changing needs.

        • Teleplatforms

        • Maximum precision and flexibility for demanding work environments

          CTI Systems' teleplatforms are advanced access systems specifically developed to meet the needs of the aerospace industry. Whether in aircraft manufacturing, MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul), inspection, or paint shops, our platforms enable safe, efficient, and ergonomic work at the highest level.

          Thanks to modular construction, smart controls, and seamless integration into existing processes, CTI teleplatforms not only allow precise positioning but also reduce downtime and manual risk significantly.

            • Applications of CTI Teleplatforms

            • Aircraft Manufacturing and Maintenance

              Whether in final assembly or during aircraft maintenance and repair, CTI teleplatforms offer the ideal solution for working at height and in hard-to-reach areas.
              They are capable of positioning with millimeter precision along aircraft structures – such as fuselage, wings, or tail – and can even adapt automatically to the contours.
              This greatly reduces the need for ground-based docking systems or lift platforms, creating a safer and more productive hangar environment.

              Painting and Surface Treatment

              In paint shops, our teleplatforms play a crucial role by providing painters with a stable and secure working platform to efficiently and evenly treat large aircraft surfaces.
              Our Intelligent Teleplatforms (ITP), developed specifically for this purpose, feature predefined motion profiles, collision avoidance systems, and an intuitive user interface.
              This improves painting quality while significantly enhancing operator safety.

              Automated Solutions and Robotic Integration

              Combining CTI teleplatforms with modern robotic systems opens new horizons for automation. Our platforms can be equipped with robotic solutions for automated painting or inspection, contributing to the standardization of processes – especially in high-volume or repetitive tasks.
              This integration reduces human error, saves resources, and ensures consistent, repeatable quality.
