Multi Shuttle System is an automated shuttle system for storage of small loads. The shuttle system is designed for applications where high throughput and excellent availability are essential, for example in Retail & E-commerce for returns handling, replenishment or buffer for order consolidation. The shuttle offers double to quadruple deep storage of totes, trays and cartons. It is suitable for chilled storage environments. To reduce the number of aisles, the shuttle can be built up to 150 m long and 25 m high.
★ Exceptionally High Throughput Rates: Dual Cycle, Drive Through, and Tandem lift configurations — combined with high-speed shuttles and intelligent controls.
★ High-Density Storage: The multi-depth, intelligent storage of varying size cartons creates outstanding space utilisation in ambient, chilled, or freezer environments.
★ Modular and Flexible: The system adapts to building configurations, including existing buildings with lower ceiling heights. Additional shuttles can be easily added to provide more throughput.
★ Efficient, Accurate, Reliable: Systems operate in an efficient “lights-out” environment. They ensure easy maintenance and maximum uptime.
Increasing manipulation speed between areas with low maintenance requirements. The distances within an installation can be covered by different transport devices, commonly combined with demanding requirements in terms of functionality and frequency.
The use of driving mechanisms and presence-detection systems (mechanical or optical) allows boxes to be moved under controlled conditions to desired positions.
1 Inventory is received at decanting workstations for scanning.
2 Totes are conveyed and automatically stored in the high-density buffer.
3 Totes are retrieved and directed to picking stations as needed.
4 Lights and graphical instructions direct operators for accurate picking.
5 Completed order containers are routed to the packing area.
6 Inventory totes return to the high-density storage buffer.
Consists of a racking structure with an integrated shuttle track system. Multidirectional microshuttles transport product bins between storage locations and stations. A built-in lift allows shuttles to move vertically between levels.
Advanced software controls shuttle traffic, maximizing throughput and minimizing lead times. The interface shows real-time data for full system oversight.
