The BCM SmartStorage FP2, T-type is a semi-automatic storage system designed for flatbed dies (F) and printing plates / stereos / clichés (P). it features a double‑rack setup (2) and a T‑type crane that ensures precise and reliable handling. Although the crane is manually moved, the system still enhances efficiency because storage positioning, lifting, and lowering are semi‑automated. As a result, operators experience smoother workflows, improved accuracy, and overall better productivity.

The BCM SmartStorage FP2, T-type is a semi-automatic storage system designed for flatbed dies and printing plates (stereos / clichés). It combines intelligent software, a touchscreen PC, and remote-access support to streamline daily operations. Moreover, several optional features are available to boost productivity even further.
Unlike fully automated systems, SmartStorage provides semi-automatic assistance through automatic location identification and precise pick-and-place functionality, reducing human error while maintaining operational flexibility.
With its double‑rack construction, the SmartStorage FP2, T‑type is ideal for facilities where a single-rack system simply isn’t sufficient. The overhead-mounted crane moves smoothly across the storage area, and when idle, it can be parked in an elevated position to keep the passageway clear.
Additionally, the operator‑guided crane—supported by intelligent software—ensures accurate positioning and safe handling at all times. The motor‑driven hoist equipped with a steel wire delivers gentle, controlled lifting, which helps protect both the tools and the storage infrastructure.
Every BCM SmartStorage includes:
To retrieve a tool, the operator simply selects the required die or printing plate on the touchscreen. The system instantly and automatically identifies the correct storage location, after which the crane software ensures precise movement and collision‑free handling. This reduces operator mistakes and minimizes the risk of damage to tools or storage components.
For customers seeking a smart, semi-automatic solution without committing to full automation (AutoStorage), the SmartStorage FP2, T-type is an excellent choice.
The BCM storage trolleys are designed for easy maneuvering by a single operator. As standard, each trolley holds three cassettes, or several ASP8 profiles.
Printing plates can be placed on dedicated trolleys or combined with flatbed and rotary dies if needed. Each cassette stores a complete die set—cutting die, stripping die, guillotine board, and printing drawing—ensuring efficient changeovers.
The crane supports 360° rotation, allowing the operator to position the trolley directly within the storage zone and keep all items within arm’s reach. This setup reduces walking distances, minimizes physical strain, and significantly speeds up loading and unloading.
For manufacturers looking to enhance efficiency, safety, and precision without moving to a fully automated AutoStorage solution—the BCM SmartStorage FP2, T‑type stands out as the optimal choice. It offers smart assistance, streamlined handling, and improved operational flow, making it a reliable partner in modern die storage and handling.
