Swisslog launches AgileStore 4-way shuttle

AGILESTORE ENABLES multidirectional travel—forward, backward, cross-aisle, and vertical. This allows each shuttle to move independently across the system and improves how pallet movement is managed.

The 4-way shuttle supports flexible pallet storage and adapts to changing demand. It is particularly effective in warehouse environments with irregular geometries, where traditional aisle-based systems limit flexibility. It enables high-density storage with dynamic access across deep lanes and mixed SKU environments, without the need for structural changes.

The roaming shuttles work with integrated lift systems that move both shuttles and pallets between racking levels, supporting efficient load transfer and storage. Each shuttle can reach any location in the system, reducing manual interventions and supporting dynamic routing and workload balancing. This also improves space utilisation across the warehouse. 

As part of a pallet ASRS system, AgileStore uses automation and control software to manage storage and retrieval, reducing forklift use, and maintain inventory accuracy.

The system supports a wide range of pallet types, including EURO, Industry, CHEP Block, CP1, CP2, CP3 and GMA. It handles loads up to 1,500 kg, ensuring safe storage and full load control. 

AgileStore operates in both ambient and cold storage environments, down to -30 °C.

The control software of the roaming pallet shuttle with advanced traffic management optimises the system’s performance across shuttles and lifts, while storage and retrieval strategies are executed via control interfaces to Swisslog’s intralogistics platform SynQ (or any standard WMS software).

The system has a modular design built around purpose-built racking, highspeed lifts, and roaming shuttles, each with continuous WiFi connectivity for a safe, coordinated operation.
