Discover the Competitive Advantages of Roaming Shuttles

The e-commerce explosion has placed outsized demands on retailers’ fulfillment operations. From shortened consumer delivery expectations and dynamic inventory churn and growth, to shifting SKU velocities and high return volumes, warehouse operators are re-evaluating their automation options.

Shuttle-based automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) for goods-to-person (GtP) order fulfillment—particularly in direct-to-consumer e-commerce operations—offer a flexible, adaptable solution to retail fulfillment challenges. To ensure a successful implementation, however, it’s critical to match the right type of shuttle-based automation to its optimal application.

Read our latest white paper, “How Roaming Shuttles Improve Order Fulfillment Operations,” to learn what distinguishes the different types of shuttle systems in the marketplace. You’ll also discover how implementing goods-to-person roaming shuttle AS/RS technology delivers benefits that extend far beyond fulfillment to positively impact your bottom line, including:

• Improved order accuracy
• Increased flexibility in day-to-day operations
• Resolved labor challenges
• Shortened order lead/cut-off times
• Reduced downtime and higher availability

If you were unable to join us at MODEX 2022 in booth #B5406 for real-time, interactive demonstrations of our industry-leading warehouse automation solutions, it’s not too late to learn more about what we showcased, including:

• ADAPTO:  Our shuttle-based automated storage and retrieval system allows warehouse operators to handle an unparalleled array of carton, tray and tote sizes while roaming warehouse levels and aisles independently of lift platforms. ADAPTO sequences and prioritizes orders with ease, empowering warehouses to use one-to-one and direct connect pick stations that dramatically increase the efficiency and accuracy of fulfillment operations. All of this is done on a system with a much smaller footprint than other shuttle-based systems. The result is that organizations can stock more SKUs and increase the storage density of their facilities – all while increasing the velocity of their operations.
• Goods-to-Picker (GtP) Workstation: Modular in design to provide maximum flexibility and a truly lean picking process, Vanderlande’s GtP Workstations are highly intuitive and ergonomic. Customers gain dramatically improved pick performance on a system that requires minimal training and enables new operators to leverage the system in minutes. Seamlessly integrated with ADAPTO, Vanderlande’s GtP Workstations also allow for one-to-one picking and highly refined sequencing for batch or discreet approaches.
• Pallet AV: Vanderlande’s Pallet AVs (Autonomous Vehicles) make it easy for operations to improve warehouse safety and easily automate pallet movements throughout the different levels within a warehouse environment (conveyors, racking and floor). Organizations also gain greater productivity and flexibility with a smaller footprint. The Pallet AV portfolio of load carriers includes a variety of automated forklifts (AFs) and an autonomous mobile robot (AMR). All of Vanderlande’s Pallet AVs use Toyota’s autopilot technology perfected in vehicles used in more than 180 systems in 14 countries.
• Intelligent Software: Vanderlande’s next-gen software stack enables organizations to easily scale the automation of their warehouses to meet the needs of today’s consumers, enabling businesses to stay nimble and adjust quickly without making extensive software adjustments. The solution can plug-and-play or be customized to match specific warehouse processes, all while providing real-time insights into warehouse processes.
