How does Shuttle ASRS work for pallet storage?

2021/01/03 Category:Industry Information 130

Shuttle ASRS is a revolutionary multi-deep high density storage solution system for palletized cargos in the warehouse, comprising of multiple equipment working in tandem:

Li-Battery or ultra-capacitor powered pallet shuttle
Shuttle Carrier
Pallet lifter
Buffer conveyors

Pallet Shuttle ASRS solutions provide maximum efficiency with deep storage lanes and also reduces the need for forklifts to store and retrieve pallets. By using a shuttle cart system to transport pallets into the buffer, forklifts no longer need to travel beyond the shipping dock and lane entry. Shuttle Carts can move pallets in and out of storage as well as the benefit of some solutions providing “lifter” options to move pallets vertically through any level of storage. Pallet shuttle AS/RS provides an automated solution that innovates traditional storage and retrieval operations with unparalleled speed and accuracy.

Characteristics of Shuttle ASRS

Each Shuttle cart & Shuttle Carrier operates on a single or multiple levels, and is able to access pallets stored in a level by moving in orthogonal directions to each other.

World’s highest storage density

WAP Shuttle ASRS system offers up to 90% pallet density, this offers users with unparalleled space utilization.

Tremendous Throughput

The independent and simultaneous operation, what is every shuttle carrier on different levels paired with buffer conveyors and multiple lifts, could enable unmatched pallet throughput with up to 20 pallets in and 20 pallets out per level per hour. This multiplied by number of levels provides extremely high throughput.

Ultracap technology

The available ultra-capacitor powered Pallet shuttle is able to quick charge within 10 seconds of auto-docking on the Shuttle Carrier. This system allows virtually unlimited charging cycles and 97% availability compared to conventional battery powered Shuttle carts.

Powerful Shuttle Management Software

The pallet shuttle and Shuttle Carrier is able to communicate with each other and also with Warehouset Management Software (WMS), which relays instructions as to which pallet to store and retrieve from which location.

The shuttle cart and shuttle carrier is fitted with state-of -art distance, positioning and proximity sensors, and is highly accurate and able to place pallets within 5 mm accuracy
