Storm tracker: TGW-ERMANCO’s Twister Mini Load Handler now provides four-deep
storage and retrieval of cartons or totes in automated storage and retrieval systems
(AS/RS). The ability to store and retrieve cartons or totes in triple- or quadruple-depth
systems allows companies with highly dynamic distribution centers to cost-effectively
sustain high throughput rates with a reduced footprint. A special feature of the Twister
is its ability to handle cartons and totes of varying sizes, storing them within the same
aisle and making the most efficient use of storage space. (TGW-ERMANCO Inc.,

Mobile transport: C&D Skilled Robotics Inc.
offers a line of laser-guided vehicles and automated truck loading vehicles. The Skilled 800
LGV offers transportation of different products
and pallets, coming from different production
lines, to and from storage as well as to and
from truck loading areas, eliminating the need
for conveyors.
This system uses laser positioning, similar to
an electronic eye. It reads reflectors positioned
on surrounding walls and uses triangulation to
determine the vehicles’ exact position. This
laser positioning system requires no prep work
to the customer’s floor (magnetic tape, colored
tape, or lines) and is easily expandable for
future growth. (C&D Skilled Robotics Inc.,
