A Diamond in the rough: Diamond
Phoenix, an automated design and material handling integrator, has unveiled the
new MaxTriever MiniLoad SRM, a storage
and retrieval machine that efficiently handles totes, cartons, boxes, and other items.
The MaxTriever helps organizations realize
high-capacity, high-speed throughput. The
single mast crane operates comfortably in
cold storage, coolers, and ambient warehouse temperatures and uses standardized
and proven subsystems for high reliability
and worry-free maintenance. (Diamond

A cut above: Cornerstone Automation Systems Inc. introduces
ABOT ACE, a new application for automatic case extraction. ABOT
ACE is a system designed to automatically index full cases or
bags, cut off the cartons’ tops, remove the contents, and then dispose of the box and/or lining. The system is designed to empty
contents into hoppers, bins, or super sacks, or onto conveyors. It
also automatically separates the liners and disposes of corrugate
and plastic separately. (Cornerstone Automation Systems Inc.,

More in store: Dematic introduces Multishuttle, a flexible automated storage and retrieval (AS/RS) staging solution. This new
system is designed for applications that require dynamic, high-rate
product sequencing to support order assembly, goods to the person picking, and pick face replenishment. The key attributes of
Dematic’s Multishuttle include high rate capacity, an ability to
accommodate load sequencing requirements, and adaptability to
existing building layouts.
The Multishuttle system consists of multiple levels of AS/RS rack
structure, carrier vehicles, buffer conveyors, and software. Each level
of the rack structure includes input/output conveyor and a carrier
vehicle that travels horizontally to access loads stored in the rack
structure, typically totes or trays. An extraction device on each carrier
vehicle accesses the loads in the rack. Since there is a carrier vehicle captive in each aisle, on each level, ultra-high throughput capacity is achieved. At the end of each aisle, a vertical lift brings the load
to the input/output conveyor. Load sequencing occurs as loads are
retrieved in the order required for the order fulfillment function.
The Multishuttle solution is suitable for supplying product to piece
pick order fulfillment modules or mixed pallet building operations. It
can also be utilized as a short-term buffer storage system or a parts
support system for production operations. The simplicity of the modular carrier vehicles allows high system uptime, system redundancy,
and low power consumption. (Dematic Corp., www.dematic.us)
