Safety feature for automated storage unit

The new technology features a visual display that tells the operator as soon as the Shuttle XP is ready for use. While a green light indicates that the tray is standing in the access opening for the storage and retrieval of goods, the red lights means a halt in loading and unloading activities.

The system safely prevents the operator from storing or retrieving goods while the tray is still in motion. This reduces the number of operating errors caused by the interruption of the active safety light barriers, which in turn minimises waiting times resulting from the unnecessary stops and restarts. The result is improved usage frequency for the Shuttle XP, which also increases the productivity of the system. The upgrade can be integrated into Shuttle XP models with shutter doors in a time-efficient manner, with installation taking four to six hours.

The Shuttle XP from Kardex Remstar is designed to deliver high retrieval performance and ergonomic design in the workplace.
