Intelligent shuttle system
March 1st 2010 SSI Schaefer has unveiled its latest
technology in automated deep pallet
storage and retrieval at the Food &
Drink Logistics Show in
Birmingham.
A device designed to meet the
requirements of today's rapidly
growing food and drink market, the
Schaefer Orbiter System is reported
to provide safer, faster and more
intelligent controllable shuttle system
technology, capable of travelling up
to one metre per second.
Allowing for high density storage
with channels in excess of 20 pallets
in depth, with rapid availability of
the selected pallets on demand using
selective racks mounted on mobile
bases, the Schaefer Orbiter System
increases capacity over traditional
drive-in storage methods which can
be operated in either First in Last
Out or First in First Out.
State of the art lifting mechanics
and Operative Protection Docking
Station, complete with an innovative
power supply that allows the Orbiter
to be recharged each time it enters
the docking station ensuring
optimum efficiency gains, guarantees
an intelligent storage system suited
to the food and drink sector,
particularly cold storage where long
life power caps allow the Orbiter to
be used in deep freeze environments
without loss of power or operational
efficiency. More articles from SSI Schaefer Ltd: |
