How Mother-Child Pallet Shuttle Gives An Advantage in An Automated Storage Solution?

In automated storage solution first introduced for material handling in the 1960s to help in moving higher volumes of products and make the best possible use of existing storage space in the warehouse. A Shuttle system was designed and built to carry heavy pallet loads, its configuration can be flexible and scalable to optimize storage space. The Mother-child Shuttle system is the best-automated storage solution based on Pallet Shuttle to highly automated AS/RS system. The Mother-child shuttle system is a versatile and fully automatic system for multi deep pallet storing.

A mother runs on a rail/track perpendicular to the storage lines that are powered by a bus bar. Child shuttles can accommodate multiple sizes of a product as well as material at very high-density levels in any type of space. Once the vertical lift reaches a particular position with pallet load, the mother shuttle along with the child reaches there, takes the load into it & moves on rail/track to the designated channel. The automated storage solution is a constant struggle to balance storage effectiveness, increase speed, storage density, accuracy, and throughput in warehouses, factories, or distribution centers.

Multi-benefits of mother-child shuttle system:

· Increased Productivity

· High-density storage capacity

· Better Inventory management

· Improved ergonomics and working environment.

· Flexibility and modularity

The material storage solution for these large scales’ products must offer high-density storage and maximum throughput. Viktor Rack offers best-in-class automation storage solutions to the customer based on their requirement.
