The pallet shuttle then carries out the assignment by running up and down the lane without any further intervention, giving the driver the opportunity to perform other tasks. this way, the number of operators needed remains limited.
In case, during certain periods of time demand, and thus rotation, increases in the warehouse, you can simply introduce more radio shuttles.
Pallet shuttle operational functions:
- Fifo: pallets moved to end position, storage and retrieval from opposite sides.
- Lifo: pallets moved to the home position, storage and retrieval from same side.
- Single Pallet in / out: pallet shuttle moves back to prevent damage.
- Store/retrieve a specific number or all pallets in a lane.
- Move pallets to the picking face (lifo & fifo).
- Change side: pallet shuttle runs under pallets to opposite location in fifo applications (shift home position).
- Pallet count-function: pallet shuttle travels under pallets and counts the number of pallets.
- Low battery < 40%: pallet shuttle will not perform any cycles and sends message to the remote control detection of location of the radio shuttle in rack.
- Recovery mode: manual removal with jack-wheels.
