Multi-deep Shuttle ASRS

This multi-deep shuttle ASRS capability stores pallets several positions deep, offering a remarkable reduction in the quantity of aisle space. Maximal cubic space utilization within existing buildings is readily achievable, postponing or eliminating the necessity to invest further in warehouse expansion and real estate acquisition.

It is now possible to achieve this without incurring any cost in utilizing forklifts to enter deep storage lanes. Reduced travel times, congestion, and handling delays accompanied by consistent throughput, result in optimally reduced movement of pallets, but reduced wear on both equipment and infrastructure.

Multi-Deep Shuttle ASRS is well-suited for operations with high pallet numbers per SKU because bulk storage can be done well due to predictable access patterns. This adds discipline in storage; it ensures faster repetition cycles during peak demand times.

The systematic control of internal pallet movement reduces the requirement for skilled forklift operators and lowers labor variability. Therefore, an organization is able to stabilize operating costs so as to manage performance in the face of labor shortages or changing shifts.

Complete automation of the system ensures greatly reduced human exposure to very cold environments and will also maintain system consistency. It will thereby have an impact on the safety of the employees and also save energy, reducing losses occurring from frequent door openings and protracted forklift activity.

Controlled shuttle movement guarantees that pallets are handled accurately, thus reducing the incidence of collisions otherwise very common in manual operations. Reduced damage rates directly translate into savings on maintenance costs and longevity of the racking structure.

Because of the modular architecture, one can simply add more shuttles, storage lanes, or levels when the throughput or volume increases. This allows phased capital investment while ensuring that the technology simply grows with the business.
