Simple solution

When new storage and order picking capacity has to be created with little complexity, Multi-Level Storage is the ideal solution, says Kardex Remstar.

Shuttle XP systems link various company areas, accelerates processes, and can be built up to 30 metres high as standard.

They are said to deliver high flexibility and density with large storage volume.

The company says: “It only needs a very small footprint, provides a very large amount of storage volume due to its height, permits highly dense storage of goods with flexible configuration options, and links several floors with one another. Furthermore, it can be integrated with existing storage systems. It also simplifies complex processes through automation and performs a buffering role for a smooth supply of goods at all times.”

Versions include: the Shuttle XP 250/500 for loads of up to 560kg which can be built at heights of up to 30 metres as standard; the Shuttle XP 700 for goods weighing up to 725kg; and the Shuttle XP 1000 for loads of up to 1,000kg (up to 20 metres).

Depending on the unit type, load, and number of cycles, customised systems can be built at heights of up to 38 metres.

The system is said to improve order picking performance, facilitate error-free picking, generate a direct flow of materials between the production area and warehouse, and optimise storage space, storage volume, and inventory management.
