Frequently Asked Questions
Mini Load Shuttle systems are designed for operations with high numbers of SKUs and frequent order lines, while parallel carton movement is possible across multiple levels. This leads to a drastic decrease in order cycle time, thus producing a more even course of throughput in atypical distribution settings.
It reduces manual efforts, searches, or travel by bringing goods directly into the picking or consolidation zones. This results in high productivity and stabilizes the performance for any given operator across different shifts.
Independent shuttles working in combination guarantee consistent retrieval times even at peak demand times. This fits orders for time-sensitive distributions and service-level-driven operations.
Controlled storage location systems integrated with WMS avoid the human error of misidentifying or misplacing items. Thus, this results in the reduction of returns, reworks, and customer service inconveniences.
Mini Load Shuttle systems accentuate vertical storage in operation with narrow aisle arrays; this gives businesses a much higher degree of storage without affecting any warehouse footprint.
Mini Load Shuttle systems will reduce the reliance on manual pickers and, as a result, the amount of training required once the system is set in motion, thus assisting organizations in overcoming challenges with labor availability and managing sustainable operating costs.
Yes, the modular concept allows for more shuttles and levels/aisles to be added as volumes increase. This allows for phased investments that are in sync with the growth of the business.
