Introducing Dematic Multishuttle - A Scalable, High Rate, Storage

and Sequencing System for Optimized Order Assembly, Piece Picking &

Replenishment

And another innovative logistics result....from

Dematic’s new Multishuttle is a scalable Automated Storage and Retrieval (AS/RS) solution for dynamic, high rate, product sequencing. Its high throughput rate, ability to accommodate load sequencing, and adaptability to existing buildings make the Dematic Multishuttle an ideal solution for goods-to-person order fulfillment, mixed case palletizing, pickface replenishment, and short term buffer staging.

The Multishuttle’s high throughput capability comes from having carrier vehicles on each level of each aisle in the rack structure traveling horizontally to access loads. Vertical lifts at the end of each aisle deliver loads to input/output conveyors. Load sequencing occurs as loads are retrieved in the order required.

The modular carrier vehicles in the Dematic Multishuttle allow high uptime, system redundancy, and low power consumption, which translate into reduced overall order turnaround time for you. To learn more about Dematic’s Multishuttle, go to www.dematic.us/multishuttle.
