Shuttles are a type of Automatic Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) that deliver product via an autonomous Shuttle (or called a vehicle or bot) that runs on a rack structure to store and retrieve cases, totes or trays or pallets. This type of AS/RS is also called a Goods to Person (GTP or G2P) system. Instead of operators roaming aisles to find products, the products are brought directly to the operators.

The shuttle vehicles, depending on the required system throughput, can be dedicated to a single level of the rack within an aisle or can move between multiple levels in an aisle using a vertical lift (or in some cases robots or elevators). Each vehicle has an extractor device capable of interacting with the product in the rack system in either a single, double, triple or quadruple deep scenario.

Because these bots are autonomous vehicles within the rack structure, the number of vehicles in a specific system can vary depending on the number of storage locations and the system throughput requirements and overall system size. Analyzing your data, business requirements help dictate which shuttle style, shuttle model and number of vehicles that are required to provide the best return on investment (ROI).

How does a shuttle system work? Wave of orders are optimized, then downloaded, and assigned to workstations. The shuttles are directed by the software and controls as to which item in the rack system to pick (or put away). The shuttle travels to the product and places the product onboard the shuttle. The shuttle then travels to the end of the aisle to deposit the product (or shuttle) on a high-speed lift. This lift brings the product (or shuttle) to the appropriate level to discharge onto conveyor (or AMRs) for downstream operations (i.e. order picking, route building, shipping, kitting, packing, etc.).

There are a wide variety of shuttle styles and models. This is where understanding an organizations data, order and inventory profiles, space restraints, labor sensitivity, business case and much more need to be scrutinized to determine the best (most efficient and cost-effective) solution. Utilizing XTS Technologies method will help assure success.

Shuttle technologies provide a high-throughput and cost-effective solution that uses less space than other systems and can grow with your business.
