Shuttles

Shuttles are compact and scalable systems, which can reduce the picking area significantly, together with the associated operating costs. These goods-to-person and goods-to-robot systems can be rolled out in several phases in a new or existing warehouse alongside other intralogistics processes.

Shuttle benefits:

Superb storage flexibility

• Totes, trays and boxes mixable in a same aisle
• Single- or dual-storage format, up to six deep, of shelves that can be compartmentalised into several cells
• System operating in ambient temperature, refrigerated and freezing environments
  

System density

• Compact structure: low height of tier step and inter-load differences
• Very high storage density that can reduce warehousing volume
  

Highly efficient preparation

• High-speed aisles capable of achieving a combination of 1100 infeed's and outfeeds per hour.
• Ergonomic work stations for rates up to 900 order lines per hour.
  

Maximum availability

• Aisles divided into several isolated, secure areas so that work can continue without stopping in the adjacent areas.
• Control automatically takes into account maintenance work on part of the system, activations/deactivations of pick stations, etc. so that the system can continue to operate.
  

Optimum control

• Scheduling algorithms balancing the activity of different components and the optimum use of the system.
• Full supervision cockpit to visualise and control the activity.
• Stock image guaranteed by different inventory logics.
• Automatic adaptation to changes in the rotation class of items.
