HIGH-DENSITY

When cost per stored tote matters

Not every operation is racing. Plenty are simply out of room, a steady order profile, a range that keeps growing, and a building that is not getting any bigger. Instead of buying throughput you do not need, you buy storage you do, and the cost per stored tote falls.

How it is built

The whole system

Storage rack

Multi-level racking uses the full building height, capacity grows upward instead of outward.

Tote shuttle

One shuttle per level runs storage and retrieval in parallel, at up to 6 m/s.

Tote + shuttle lift

Tote lifts carry goods between levels and the conveyor. Shuttle lifts move shuttles between levels.

Conveyor line

Continuous lines link the lifts to workstations, inbound and outbound, so totes never wait for a manual handoff.

How it works

From inbound to outbound

A high-throughput system is a rack, a shuttle on every level, two kinds of lift and a station where the operator stands. Rate is decided by how well those four are balanced against each other, a fast shuttle behind a slow lift is a fast shuttle waiting.

01

High-density storage

fully utilizes warehouse height for greater capacity in a limited footprint

02

Parallel shuttle operation

multiple shuttles work simultaneously to boost storage/retrieval throughput

03

Continuous conveying

seamless warehouse-to-conveyor handoff cuts manual transport and wait time

04

Flexible AMR transport

Robots carry totes between storage and workstations, with no fixed conveyor in between

case studies

High-density case studies

Client cases where the range outgrew the building before the volume did, how we fitted more into the same footprint, and the numbers that made it worth doing.
