Product Summary
A Goods-to-Person solution that effectively utilizes overhead warehouse space with extended movable shelves for superior storage efficiency.
Integrates with pallet transport systems and Goods-to-Person autonomous mobile robot (AMR) systems, enabling efficient storage of items in various sizes—from small to large.
Ideal for storage and picking operations across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, wholesale and retail, e-commerce, apparel, and healthcare.
Operational Benefits
Improve Productivity
Enables high-speed retrieval of up to 240 tote presentations per hour for each workstation, delivering product-filled totes directly to the operator.
Store Efficiently
Achieve double the storage capacity compared to standard shelving by maximizing overhead space.
*Based on internal estimates where: storage volume is approx. 850 m³, POD capacity is 4.32 m³/unit and standard shelving is 0.567 m³/unit.
Centralized Management
The same AGV is capable of storing and transporting shelves, totes, and pallets—manage products from small to large with a single system.
Key Features
High-capacity POD/Shelf
With a maximum height of 3.9 meters, the vertical capacity of the PODs are approximately double compared to conventional storage racks.
This allows effective utilization of overhead warehouse space. Totes are placed closely next to each other for high-density storage, minimizing unused space on each POD.
Each tote can hold up to 30 kilograms, making it suitable for storing a wide range of products.
Optimized POD placement
The AGVs go underneath the PODs to lift and transport them, reducing the need for aisles compared to conventional shelving systems, enabling high-density storage of PODs as well.
The system centrally manages the POD and inventory location data, and repositions them based on how frequently they are picked, so PODs are always placed in the most optimum location.
By placing frequently shipped items closer to the workstation and less frequently shipped items farther away, the system reduces POD travel distance and time, enabling more efficient order picking.
High-productivity workstation
Each workstation is equipped with a buffer rack that temporarily stores totes.
By swapping totes to balance the weight of the POD, and pre-loading totes scheduled for picks, the system can operate at full capacity from the very start of the shift.
Also, totes are automatically delivered to the operator, enabling safe handling of a wide variety of items.
Furthermore, as the same AGV can be used to carry shelves, totes, and pallets, operators can pick from multiple sources at the workstation.
