Step into the future of warehouse management with Mecalux's 3D Automated Pallet Shuttle!
https://www.mecalux.com/warehouse-aut...

The ultimate automation solution for maximising high-density storage, productivity and flexibility in an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) for pallets.

Mecalux’s 3D Automated Pallet Shuttle is a cutting-edge AS/RS at the forefront of warehouse automation. Its completely modular design enables rapid scalability to tailor the AS/RS’s capacity and throughput to business growth. The rapid navigation speed and operational versatility of the multi-directional 3D shuttles significantly enhance warehouse performance.

💡 The evolution of high-density pallet storage systems: greater capacity, speed and throughput

- Drive-in racking    • Drive-in pallet racking, high density...   is the simplest and most affordable high-density storage method. It is comprised of multiple racks with a series of lanes accessed by forklifts to deposit or retrieve pallets. Compared to conventional pallet racking, this solution notably increases storage capacity.
- The semi-automated Pallet Shuttle    • Pallet Shuttle - High density storage   could be considered an evolution of the drive-in pallet racking. But instead of a forklift entering the aisle, the shuttle performs this maneuver. This improves operator safety as well as the ability to store the goods compactly and house a greater variety of SKUs in the same space.
The Pallet Shuttle exists in a semi-automated solution. Using a forklift, the operator positions the pallet shuttle car at the entrance to the channel. Next, they deposit the pallet on the rails, just above the shuttle. The shuttle then raises the pallet slightly and transports it, placing it in the first free location. Operators issue commands to the shuttle from a tablet.
- The next evolution is the Automated Pallet Shuttle (APS). In this version, the forklift used in the semi-automated version is replaced with fully autonomous handling equipment (stacker cranes or transfer cars). This considerably shortens the time spent on each operation.
- In the 3D Automated Pallet Shuttle system    • 3D Automated Pallet Shuttle - Mecalux  , an autonomous multi-directional shuttle car stores and retrieves pallets from racking with unparalleled efficiency and precision. Notably, these shuttles navigate the aisles and channels within the racking structure independently, eliminating the need for additional material handling vehicles (e.g., stacker cranes or transfer cars). To move between storage levels, the shuttles employ a series of lifts.
