What is Multi Deep Shuttle ASRS – Multi-pro?

multi-deep-shuttle-asrs-benefits-applications-innovations

The Multi-Pro shuttle system is one of the more sophisticated, fully automated solutions for multi deep shuttle ASRS storage. 

It’s based on a mother-child shuttle mechanism that integrates a primary vehicle, which navigates aisles, with a secondary one, known as the Child Shuttle, which does the actual picking and placement of the goods. This setup optimally allows for flexible and efficient handling of goods, particularly in high-density storage environments.

The Mother Shuttle uses a bus bar and travels along tracks that are perpendicular to the pallet storage, while the Child Shuttle moves within it to complete storage and retrieval. Integrated vertical lifts lift loads to their position, so operations are smooth across multiple levels.

This is a multi-pro system designed to optimise the use of your warehouse space for enhanced throughput and significant productivity boosts. In other words, it’s perfect for optimising your storage operations!

Vertical lifts that move items to their assigned heights are smoothly integrated with this multi-level system. It enhances throughput and significantly boosts productivity. In a nutshell, it is perfect for optimising your storage operations!

  • Max Payload (kg): 1000
  • Space Utilisation: Upto 10 Pallets/Sq. Mtr.
  • Throughput: 73 Pallets/hour (for 30m track)

Key Features of Multi-Deep Shuttle 

  • Pallet Shuttle Powered by LiFePo4 Batteries: The pallet shuttle is powered by LiFePo4 batteries and technology.  The Multi-Pro shuttle system ensures that energy is used optimally and should thus result in longer running cycles. The overall charging capability of the batteries means that the system can be replenished to 100% in as little as 30 minutes.
  • Software for Shuttle Fleet Management (SFMS): We can monitor and manage shuttle operations in real time with our sophisticated Shuttle Fleet Management Software (SFMS). The SFMS optimises shuttle movements, improves synchronisation, and boosts system performance by employing data analytics and intelligent algorithms.
  • Precise Operations and Positioning: Precision is key in logistics, and our system guarantees accurate positioning of pallets at all times. With state-of-the-art sensors and controls, you can expect reliable operations that minimise errors and enhance the efficiency of your storage and retrieval processes.

Technische specificaties

  • Navigation in the Aisles: We improve pallet handling efficiency by using cutting-edge navigation technology to guarantee accurate movement within aisles.
  • Barcode Reader: Accurate inventory tracking and management are made possible by our integrated barcode reading capability.
  • Integration and Communication: For dependable connectivity and smooth system-wide communication, we offer dual-band Wi-Fi (2.5 GHz and 5 GHz).
  • Energy Source: Our system runs on a reliable 415 V (3P+PE) AC power source, guaranteeing steady and reliable operation.

Case Study: Streamlining Operations at PepsiCo with the Multi-Pro System

PepsiCo needs advanced retail and distribution facilities to attain exceptional operational efficiency. For PepsiCo’s logistical requirements, we at Addverb created the multi deep shuttle ASRS system, designed to improve order pickup and SKU pallet management.

Overview of the Project

We put the Multi-Pro system into use for this project with the following requirements:
20 Storage Levels: By optimising vertical space and facilitating effective inventory management, the Multi-Pro design has 20 storage levels.3,500 Storage sites: The system guarantees rapid access to a wide variety of products thanks to 3,500 strategically placed storage sites.Storage in the High Bay Up to 30 Metres: Our system efficiently uses vertical space to increase capacity by supporting high-bay storage up to 30 metres.6,200 Pallet locations: PepsiCo can easily handle a significant amount of inventory because of the system’s 6,200 pallet locations.

Innovative Multi-Pro Shuttle System

At the heart of our solution is the multi deep shuttle ASRS system, featuring:Mother Shuttle for SKU Transfer: The mother shuttle efficiently transfers single SKU pallets, ensuring precise delivery to packing aisles. Rainbow Pallet Functionality: By enabling the transportation of mixed pallets, this feature enhances order accuracy and streamlines the packing process.

Outcome

PepsiCo has greatly improved its storage efficiency and shortened retrieval times since implementing the Multi-Pro technology. The Multi-Pro’s smooth integration has simplified packing procedures, allowing for a faster reaction to customer requests.


Advantages of Multi-Deep Shuttle ASRS

In contemporary warehousing operations, the Multi Deep Shuttle ASRS provides a number of benefits  which are as follows:

Completely automated processes

Because our Multi-Pro system is completely self-sufficient, physical effort is not required for storage or retrieval procedures. Your staff may concentrate on more strategic duties as a result of the increased efficiency, decreased human error, and streamlined operations brought about by this automation.

Fast Delivery and Access

The multi deep shuttle ASRS system guarantees quick access to inventory thanks to its high throughput capabilities and sophisticated navigation technology. Fast delivery to packing areas and faster order fulfillment periods are made possible by the system’s ability to process up to 73 pallets per hour across a 30-meter track length.

Optimised Space Utilisation

With a mother and child shuttle in each loading location, the Multi-Pro system’s architecture enables high-density storage with up to 15 levels. This makes the most of your warehouse’s available space by optimising vertical space and allowing for up to 6,200 pallet locations in a small footprint.

Scalability  and Reliability

Our Multi-Pro ASRS is designed to grow with your company. The system may grow with your business, whether you need to add pallet positions or store more items. Even when demand varies, its dependable performance and sturdy design guarantee steady functioning.

Naadloze integratie

The multi deep shuttle ASRS system is easy to integrate into your present setup because it works smoothly with conveyors, lifts, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, warehouse execution systems (WES), and warehouse management systems (WMS).

Safety Features

Throughout the storage and retrieval procedures, the Multi-Pro system prioritises the safety of both operators and equipment by including safety bumpers, indication lights, and emergency stops.
