Shuttle cars

There are two main forms of shuttle vehicles in warehousing and logistics equipment: shuttle-type entry and exit systems and shuttle-type warehousing systems. They are trolleys that run on fixed tracks in a reciprocating or looping manner to transport goods to designated locations or connections. equipment. Equipped with an intelligent sensing system that can automatically remember the origin position and an automatic deceleration system.

The shuttle is an intelligent robot that can be programmed to complete tasks such as picking up, transporting, and placing goods, and can communicate with the host computer or WMS system. It combines RFID, barcode and other identification technologies to realize automatic identification, access and other functions.

The shuttle-type warehousing system combines traditional shelves with high-precision guide rails, allowing the shuttle to run smoothly on them. The guide rails also undertake the functions of cargo transportation and cargo storage, thereby greatly improving the utilization of storage space.

The shuttle-type warehousing system was invented by the Swedish company EAB. Because the forklift does not need to drive into the shelf to access the goods, it is completed by the shuttle. The forklift channel is eliminated, so a very high space utilization rate can be achieved.

The shuttle-type warehousing system can realize various operating methods such as first-in-first-out (FIFO) and first-in-last-out (FILO).
