Precision control

Absolute vertical positioning and laser-based horizontal alignment for accurate bin placement

Compact & Light weight

Compact & Light weight Telescopic fork design with fingers handles bins up to 40 kg. Compact self-weight of ~450 kg allows agile performance across levels.

Industrial grade durability

Built with servo motors, rugged frames, and advanced safety features like onboard bin sensors and rubber bumpers.

Seamless integration

Wireless industrial communication and control system for real-time coordination with Warehouse Control System (WCS) and Warehouse Management System (WMS).

How It Works

Our system uses multiple shuttles that glide across tracks on different levels of the racking structure. A vertical lift seamlessly transfers goods between levels — ensuring a fast, reliable flow of materials with zero bottlenecks.

Integrated with a smart Warehouse Control System (WCS) and synchronized with your Warehouse Management System (WMS), it delivers every item where and when you need it.

Bin Conditions & Load Specifications

To ensure smooth operation:

Material must stay within bin height and be evenly loaded from the bottom.
Avoid bins that are broken, chipped, or out of shape.
Bin manufacturing accuracy must be ±3mm for Width & Depth.
The bottom should be flat (no ribs or perforations).
Deflection should be under 7mm (sides) and under 10mm (bottom).

Using the right bins keeps your operations running smoothly and your goods safely stored.
