The shuttles operate on every level of the racks in an aim to ensure the increased speed of the picking process.
The shuttles designed to operate across multi-levels help to achieve outstanding picking capabilities and cost-efficiency.
Excellent picking capabilities effective in reducing space
The Shuttle & Server combines the excellent loading/unloading capabilities of multi-level rotary racks with the outstanding storage capabilities of an automated warehouse with stacker cranes. The simple layout helps minimize dead space, promising a great success in space-saving.
Energy saving
Low noise model
The shuttle's body is very lightweight; thus significantly reducing electricity costs compared to automatic warehouses of the same scale. The drive unit is also very small; thus aiding a quiet working environment.
Adroit Driving Mode
With online, remote, and manual operating modes and methodically mounted circuit boards on each device; the system is engineered to operate not only under normal use but also during emergency processing. In addition, maintenance passages can be installed inside the racks to allow workers to walk on the paths of the shuttles. This enables the unloading of cargo during emergencies such as system failures.
Compatible with multiple cargo shapes
The featured shuttle fork is a multi-purpose type compatible with various shapes of cargo to accommodate the flexibility of the system. Moreover, the storage locations are automatically allotted by the size of the cargo to ensure storage efficiency.
