STORETEQ P-310|P-510 + P-320|P-520
CNC Machining Centers โ Homag Group
Advanced storage systems for maximizing panel storage capacity in existing hall heights without expensive extensions. Available as second-level (P-310|P-510) or double-level (P-320|P-520) configurations.
The STORETEQ P-310|P-510 and P-320|P-520 are vertical panel storage and retrieval systems designed to maximize material utilization within existing production hall footprints. Rather than expanding building infrastructure, these systems convert overhead clearance into organized, accessible storage levelsโthe P-310|P-510 adds a second storage tier, while the P-320|P-520 provides dual-level capacity. Both configurations employ automated bridge and carriage drive systems to manage panel positioning and retrieval without manual handling.
These systems are engineered for high-throughput panel logistics with bridge speeds of 60โ120 m/min, carriage speeds of 80โ120 m/min, and lifting capabilities reaching 65 m/min. The P-500 series extends to 16,000 mm span width and 100,000 mm frame length, accommodating large-format panels up to 5,600 mm length and 2,200 mm width. Load capacity ranges from 250โ350 kg per panel, supporting raw boards (6 mm minimum), MDF (3 mm minimum), and coated materials (0.8 mm minimum). Stack heights optimize between 1,200โ2,000 mm at the top tier, while ceiling clearance requirements span 2,500โ4,000 mm, making them adaptable to varied hall geometries.
The STORETEQ series serves mid-to-large production operations processing panel-based materials at volume. These systems eliminate storage-related bottlenecks in furniture manufacturing, cabinetry, engineered wood product assembly, and architectural millwork operations where material flow directly impacts production scheduling. By automating panel retrieval and minimizing manual crane dependency, operators reduce labor overhead and unplanned downtime from storage congestion.
Compared to traditional ground-level racking or multi-building expansion, the STORETEQ approach preserves factory floor real estate for active production while leveraging underutilized vertical space. This makes it particularly valuable for facilities operating at or near spatial capacity, where capital investment in storage infrastructure must compete against production equipment budgets.

Applications
large format panel processing industrial
industrial workshopIndustrial panel processors handling large-format MDF and particleboard (3 mm minimum) for architectural cladding or engineered flooring use the P-500 series (16,000 mm span, 100,000 mm frame) to stage 250โ350 kg panels between cutting, coating, and lamination stations. Dual-level storage enables simultaneous material staging for multiple production lines without expanding floor footprint, improving throughput by 30โ40% over manual rack systems.
engineered wood product distribution
industrial workshopEngineered wood product manufacturers and distributors handling laminated flooring blanks, plywood sheets, or composite panels leverage the P-320|P-520's dual-tier capacity to segregate incoming raw stock from finished inventory. With load ratings to 350 kg and carriage speeds of 120 m/min, systems support high-velocity order fulfillment (50+ SKU picks per shift) while maintaining material traceability and reducing warehouse labor costs.
cabinet shop material staging
medium workshopCustom cabinetry shops with 20โ40 active projects optimize material staging by storing face veneers, substrates, and coated components (0.8 mm minimum thickness) in organized, height-stratified tiers. The P-310|P-510 second-level system fits shops with 3,000โ3,500 mm ceiling clearance, enabling pick-to-order workflows where operators quickly locate specific panel batches without moving inventory manually.
panel storage optimization medium furniture
medium workshopFurniture manufacturers managing 100โ500 panel SKUs per week benefit from automated retrieval of raw and semi-finished boards (6 mm minimum thickness, up to 5,600 mm length). The P-320|P-520 double-level configuration stores materials within existing 4,000 mm ceiling heights, reducing pick-and-place labor while maintaining just-in-time feed to edge-banding, lamination, and CNC processing lines. Bridge speeds of 120 m/min keep material cycle times under 2 minutes per retrieval.
