viastore Shuttle Solutions for your Mini Load System
Shuttle systems have become a firmly established option for specific applications in the automated handling of small parts. They are suitable particularly for fast-growing companies with a complex range of items. The shuttles are easily scalable so that system expansions are possible any time. Shuttle systems are efficient helpers and highly dynamic solutions for the supply of resources to workstations, buffer storage or sequenced in-line supply of goods in production and assembly. Ideally complementing systems with storage/ retrieval machines or vertical lift storage systems, shuttle systems can be used for the following:
- Storage of small parts
- Retail store order picking
- Production supply or shipping buffer
- Order picking systems for online retailers
- Wherever high storage density is required
- Sequencing for pack stations in shipping
Shuttle Vehicles of high intelligence and availability
The shuttle vehicles are available in different sizes. They feature swiveling wheels, which means they can travel in all directions and are just as flexible in the aisle as they are in the rack locations or in container transport. Their on-board navigation system calculates the most efficient route.
