Multi Layer 4 Way Shuttle System

A system called the "Multi Layer 4 Way Shuttle System" is a type of automated storage and transportation system. This system is used for storing, retrieving, and transporting materials in a warehouse or manufacturing facility. It is commonly used to meet large-scale storage needs and is frequently seen in modern storage and logistics systems with high levels of automation.

This system typically consists of the following components:

Storage Area: Usually created using rack systems or specialized storage units. It represents the area where materials are stored.

4 Way Shuttle: This is an automated vehicle used to move materials within the storage area. It can move in four directions (forward, backward, right, and left) and transports materials within the rack systems in the storage area.

Multi-Layer Structure: This system organizes the storage area into multiple layers, providing more storage capacity in the same area.

Control System: Typically an automation system managed by a computer or central control unit. It controls the flow of materials, manages inventory, and monitors system performance.

This system enables effective storage and management of materials in the storage area. Thanks to its automation features, material movement and inventory management are carried out automatically without the need for human intervention. This reduces labor costs and increases warehouse efficiency.

This system has many advantages, especially in terms of automation and efficiency:

1. High Capacity: The Multi Layer 4 Way Shuttle System increases storage capacity and allows for more efficient use of available space due to its multi-layered structure. 2. Automation: With its automatic operation feature, it minimizes human intervention and automates storage processes, reducing labor costs and error rates. 3. Fast Access: The system's multi-layered structure provides fast access to products, shortening order preparation times and increasing customer satisfaction. 4. Flexibility: The Multi Layer 4 Way Shuttle System can be used flexibly for different types and sizes of products, allowing the storage space to be adapted to various needs. 5. Less Storage Space Requirement: Thanks to its vertical structure, less horizontal space is needed, resulting in cost savings in property costs. 6. Efficiency and Cost Reduction: Factors such as automation, fast access, and more efficient use of space increase overall efficiency while reducing operating costs. 7. Sustainability: Factors such as reduced space usage, energy savings, and lower labor requirements provide advantages in terms of sustainability.

Stacker Crane + Pallet Shuttle System

The Radio Shuttle and stacking solution enable the dense storage of palletized products. Leveraging mature stacking technology, the system achieves dense storage functionality by increasing tunnel depth and reducing the number of stackers. Additionally, it enables the fully automatic operation of shuttles, stackers, conveyor machines, and other equipment through the use of WMS/WCS control systems. This system significantly increases material density in the warehouse, performs random storage according to FIFO logic, eliminates forklift passage, and supports storage space. As a result, it reduces forklift entry and exit times, decreases workers' operating time, and meets customers' dense storage requirements. Crane-supported pallet handling systems are used in warehouses or industrial facilities for the automatic storage, transportation, and placement of materials. They are preferred in large storage facilities and facilitate the rapid processing of large quantities of materials. These systems have an integrated structure of cranes and pallets. Cranes lift and lower materials by moving along rails, while pallets facilitate the movement of materials and are typically durable metal or plastic platforms. The system optimizes warehouse management by working in coordination with automation and control systems. These systems are commonly used in large distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and logistics centers, utilizing warehouse space more efficiently and reducing labor. High Storage Capacity: It provides maximum storage capacity by utilizing vertical storage space. Automation and Efficiency: By its automatic operation feature, it automates material handling and storage processes, thus speeding up operations and reducing human errors. Quick Access and Organized Storage: It enables quick access to materials and organizes storage space in an orderly manner, facilitating easy retrieval of materials. Labor Savings: Automatic storage systems require less human labor compared to manual operations, which can reduce operating costs. Flexibility: It can have flexible configurations to adapt to different storage needs and pallet types.

Stacker Crane With Conveyor System

The system comprises high-level stereo racks, automatic stacking, a conveyor line, Warehouse Control System (WCS), Warehouse Management System (WMS), and associated peripherals. Depending on actual application needs and investment budget, the Palletizer can be single/double-row, flat/fork type, or other different variations. The retrieval unit can select trays or material boxes, while the conveyor line may prefer a drum-type conveyor.

Stacker Crane with Conveyor System is an automation system used in warehouses or manufacturing facilities. This system facilitates the storage, transportation, and processing of materials, making it ideal for managing intensive material movement in large warehouses and manufacturing facilities.

This system consists of two main components:

Stacker Crane: A machine that can move on warehouse rack systems and access high shelves. It operates automatically and is controlled by computer or programmable logic controllers.

Conveyor System: Enables the transportation of materials from one point to another. Various conveyor types are used depending on the type and size of the material.

Stacker Crane with Conveyor System automates the retrieval, storage, processing, and shipment of materials. This increases efficiency, reduces errors, and ensures effective use of warehouse/production space.

Advantages: High Storage Capacity: Stacker Crane is an automatic system capable of vertical storage. This increases storage capacity and allows more products to be stored within the same area. Automatic and Fast Operation: Stacker Crane operates automatically and when integrated with a conveyor system, it can quickly pick up, store, or transport products. This increases warehouse efficiency and reduces the risk of human error. Space Efficiency: Vertical storage allows for more efficient use of warehouse space. This advantage enables maximizing valuable space to fit more products within the same area. Workplace Safety: Stacker Crane and Conveyor System minimize human intervention, enhancing warehouse worker safety as direct contact with hazardous equipment is not necessary. Time and Cost Savings: Automatic operation and fast processing lead to time and cost savings in businesses. Faster product handling, storage, and shipping processes generally improve overall operational efficiency. Lower Operating Costs: Implementing automatic systems can reduce operating costs in the long term. Decreased labor requirements can lower labor costs, and automatic systems requiring less maintenance can reduce maintenance costs. Data Monitoring and Management Ease: Stacker Crane and Conveyor System are often integrated with automation and data monitoring systems. This makes inventory management, stock tracking, and transaction data monitoring easier, aiding business managers in making better decisions.
