Radio Shuttle Rack

Radio Shuttle rack is a semi-automatic pallet racking system that allows deep storage and optimizes the process of importing and exporting goods quickly through robots integrated with smart sensor software. Refer to the article below to see how well INPA products meet your requirements!

What is the Radio Shuttle rack?

Radio Shuttle rack is also known as Radio Shuttle shelf, Shuttle robot shelf or Shuttle rack. This is a deep storage shelf system, they are a set of adjacent rows of shelves that effectively optimize maximum capacity inside the warehouse.

A special feature of this shelf line is the intelligent application of the Shuttle robot solution that allows robots to enter/exit the shelf system to handle pallet loading and unloading. This advantage helps Shuttle robot shelves not only maximize efficiency in goods rotation. It also minimizes unnecessary collisions.

Operating principle of Shuttle robot racking systems

Using smart robots, the Shuttle rack system will be simulated with the following operating principles:

Loading goods: The robot is placed at the top of the guide rail, then the forklift will place the pallet containing the goods on the robot. After receiving control commands from the sensor software or remote device, the robot will move inside and proactively put the pallet into an empty position. Just like that, this process will continue until the rail fills the pallet.

Exporting goods: To export goods stored on the shelf rails, the robot, upon receiving the control command, will move inside and bring the goods to the top of the shelf until the forklift performs the operation of loading and unloading the goods from the shelf frame. Through the sensor, the robot recognizes that the forklift operation has been completed and will continue to load and unload goods. Just like that until the goods on each rail are taken out.

Structural features of the Radio Shuttle robot racking

Basically, a set of robot Shuttle racks will be composed of the following details:

• Pillar legs: Sturdy Omega shaped iron pillars support the load on the entire system
• Braces: Between the two pillar legs are tie bars (horizontal & diagonal braces) to support the pillar frame to bear the load more firmly.
• Guide rail: Rails for robots to operate in and out safely inside the shelf system
• Beam bar: Perpendicular to the cylindrical frame, supporting the pallet function.
• Foot base: The detail that helps each leg anchor directly to the floor stably.
• Roof bracing: The roof bracing steel frame helps the connection system become more stable between structural details, avoiding tilting situations when loading heavy goods up high.
• Robot Shuttle: Smart sensor device to enter/exit the automatic racking system to load and unload goods.

Advantages of using robot Shuttle rack

Smart warehouse application with INPA Shuttle rack robot shelf operation mechanism is selected as one of the optimal solutions, supporting warehouses to have good inventory control. As well as improve supply chain performance. Specifically:

• Improved high storage density, increasing capacity by more than 80% compared to conventional shelves.
• Provides absolute accuracy thanks to the application of automatic robot technology and software to control wifi waves and radio waves.
• Fast movement thanks to the Shuttle robot shuttle, significantly increasing the import and export control cycle
• The safety factor is stable with speed control details and stop position sensors. Customize the distance between pallets for absolute safety
• Save operating costs and storage equipment thanks to smart working principles
• Only using human resources to control forklifts to load and unload goods, thereby significantly reducing warehouse management labor and saving costs.
• Horizontal supply configuration depends on the quantity of goods stored.

In particular, the Shuttle INPA robot system helps investors conveniently navigate to automatic racking applications - automatic storage and retrieval systems ASRS or AGV without many customizations and expensive costs. red.

Application of Radio Shuttle rack

Thanks to the integration of smart technology applications, the Shuttle robot system closely manages and controls large-capacity warehouses. Some applications are considered the most optimal for Shuttle rack robots:

• Food, beverage, consumer goods warehouse in large quantities
• Heavy industrial warehouse, semi-finished products or finished products
• The warehouse has an average – high number of SKUs
• Warehouses need quick inventory control

Storage applications through the Shuttle robot racking system are also quite popular because of the thick storage, ideal storage and accessibility capabilities suitable for the nature of the seafood, cooled or frozen food industry. However, for robots to be applied in cold storage, additional customized conditions will be needed to best suit each industry's characteristics as well as each specific warehouse space.

How much does it cost to install and operate Shuttle rack?

In fact, the cost of operating the Radio Shuttle robot shelf system will be higher than other conventional shelves due to the need to invest in additional shuttle racks - Shuttle robots. However, to maximize your budget while still ensuring operational efficiency, you can contact INPA directly to receive advice on choosing the appropriate robot function for your warehouse requirements.

In addition, the number of robots will also be calculated and considered based on the actual situation. The size and characteristics of each warehouse are unique, and accurate quotes should be deployed after evaluating preliminary results from direct survey activities.
