Automatic Multi-Shuttles: Much More Than Storage Technology
Plato argued that “necessity is the mother of invention,” and although this famous quote is over 2,300 years old, it seems as relevant today as ever.
The world of supply chain management has been grappling with far-reaching changes in recent years. There has been an incessant growth in international and online trade, accompanied by demands for shorter delivery times, reduced storage and shipping costs, and improved service quality. These challenges have spurred the need for advanced, efficient, fast, and scalable technological solutions.
Just 3-5 years ago, automated shuttles in warehouses were something impressive to watch in YouTube videos. However, in recent years, the technology has rapidly developed, to the point where a warehouse without this technology will soon become obsolete (starting in the next decade, isn’t that right?).
Why? Because automatic multi-shuttles can solve complex challenges in a simple way. Starting with optimizing storage space efficiency, improving inventory reliability, and enabling fast order fulfillment.
The new models of multi-shuttles have improved speed, heights, and distances they can reach by 25%. The synchronization between multi-shuttles and warehouse management systems has reached nearly 100%.
What does this mean? In a warehouse where human-operated forklifts are used, each worker receives a daily list of what they need to pick, store, or transfer for shipping. However, multi-shuttles know exactly when to perform these tasks down to a matter of seconds! Does a certain item need to arrive at the shipping station by 14:05, with a 2-minute distance from the storage station? The multi-shuttle will arrive at the right place to pick up the item at 14:03!
This saves unnecessary congestion at stations and precisely streamlines delivery times. Thanks to this method, multi-shuttles can handle up to 9,600 orders per hour!
