The Pallet Shuttle system permits faster handling
of goods thanks to the automatic loading and
unloading of pallets
Pallet Shuttle: automated storage
The automation offered by the Pallet Shuttle
system enables operators to simply bring
pallets to the channel input and change the
shuttle position when necessary.
Its operation is very simple: with the already
loaded pallet, the automatic shuttle moves
to the first free location, where it will deposit the load. While the shuttle transfers
and deposits the pallet, the operator uses
the time to place another pallet in the first
position of the same channel. Thus, when
the shuttle returns to the front of the lane it
can repeat the same movement.
Shuttle movements within the racks are
performed automatically, following the instructions the operator sends it via a Wi-Fi
connected tablet. Through a user-friendly
interface, personnel can carry out advanced
functions (selecting pallets, inventory, continuous loading and unloading, etc.) and control up to 18 shuttles with the same device.
In addition, Mecalux offers the possibil-
ity of installing a positioning camera in the
shuttle for the operator to view from the
same tablet where and what the shuttle is
doing at all times. Once the shuttle's bat-
tery runs out, the shuttle is automatical-
ly sent to the front of the channel, and the
control tablet immediately notifies the op-
erator that the battery is depleted. That
is when it is moved to the battery charg-
ing station, set up to charge two shuttles
at once.
