So differenzieren wir uns im Wettbewerb.

Das Smart Warehouse / SMT Reels ist kein adaptiertes Standardsystem, sondern eine spezialisierte Lösung, die konsequent für die komplexen Anforderungen der SMT-Hochgeschwindigkeitsfertigung entwickelt wurde.


Im direkten Vergleich zu konventionellen Lagerschränken, starren FIFO-Puffern oder Regalsystemen, kombiniert es als einzige Lösung: Vertikale Hochverdichtung, automatisiertes Präzisions-Handling, lückenlose Traceability auf Rollenebene und die tiefe Middleware-Anbindung in einem durchgängigen Materialfluss.


Wir setzen konsequent auf Systemoffenheit: Unsere modularen Lagerzellen vermeiden geschlossene Plattformen - unser WMS ist direkt an ERP/MES-Systeme anbindbar. Das System stellt nicht nur Bauteile bereit – es macht den gesamten Rüst- und Bereitstellungsprozess digital steuerbar und auditfähig.


Dadurch entsteht kein isoliertes Insellager, sondern eine aktive, steuerbare Komponente in Ihrem Fertigungsprozess – vom Auftragsstart bis zur fehlerfreien Rolle an der Linie.

Six facts for throughput: High capacity, container diversity, and seamless IT integration

High capacity, container diversity, and seamless IT integration

High capacity, container diversity, and seamless IT integration

  • Scalable for high material volumes

    The system is designed for large-scale production environments and offers space for 400 to over 2,000 storage locations. CUBE Storage thus ensures complete material coverage even for complex production lines with many different components.

  • Maximum storage density thanks to modular design

    The scalable shelving system and advanced gripper technology make optimal use of the available room height. The dimensions are flexibly adjustable – from compact 8.5 m (L) x 4.5 m (W) to large-volume 20 m (L) x 4.5 m (W) with a height of up to 8 m.

  • Versatility in load carriers and containers

    Unlike specialized solutions, CUBE Storage manages a wide variety of unit types in parallel: from PCB magazines and standard KLTs to tray stacks, Euro boxes, and customer-specific containers. This makes it a universal hub for all electronics and assembly manufacturing.

  • Full responsibility for the process

    From the initial concept to mechanical design and commissioning, cts assumes full responsibility for the project. This guarantees turnkey integration of the warehouse into the existing production flow without interface risks.

  • Real-time transparency through intelligent control

    The proprietary software enables seamless connection to MES and ERP systems via modern interfaces such as REST or MQTT. This creates full transparency across all inventories in real time and optimizes the entire material flow control process.

  • Automated networking with AMR systems

    The system is designed from the ground up to work with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and conveyor technology. This integration closes the gap in the logistics chain and ensures consistent, automated material transport without manual intervention.

The mechanical design: Insights into the Storage Structure

The interior of the CUBE Storage is designed for maximum mechanical resilience and highly efficient use of space. The architecture breaks with traditional, rigid storage systems and replaces them with a modular system developed for continuous 24/7 operation in industry.


Each of the 400 to over 2,000 storage positions can be addressed individually. This enables fast access without time-consuming relocation processes (single-pick principle). The mechanical design is such that the load carriers are moved without vibration, which is particularly important for sensitive assemblies in PCB magazines.
