cts OCTA Storage

Compact Material Buffer for Line-Oriented Intralogistics 

Our OCTA Storage closes the gap in material supply directly at the point of use. Designed as a compact material buffer, the system enables stable and documented supply in a footprint of less than 25 m².


The freestanding system requires no structural modifications and can be integrated non-invasively into existing factory layouts. Through the automated management of load carriers such as KLTs, trays, and PCB magazines, the OCTA Storage relieves staff of non-value-added search tasks and ensures a controlled material flow in space-critical production environments.
