AUTOMATED HANDLING FEATURE SHUTTLES ROTATE WITHIN RACKING TO REACH ALL LOCATIONS
Global market leader in pharmaceutical compounding Fagron has commissioned KNAPP to kit out its new warehouse in the Belgian town of Nazareth. KNAPP has previously supplied automated handling solutions for two of its distribution centres in the Netherlands. Expected to go live in the second quarter of 2016 the facility will accommodate manual production operations and highly efficient automated logistics.

aisle ends the shuttles are able to move both crosswise and lengthwise in a store. With swivelling wheels and an
innovative power supply system they can move in either direction within the racking by rotating. This allows the YLOG-Shuttles to reach every location in the store and through the addition of spurs to serve work stations directly, making the solution especially suitable for production or assembly applications. "With the ability to add YLOG-Shuttles
to more levels along with more racking the system is scalable to each client’s

needs so it is the ideal solution to grow with a business over time,” explains Craig Rollason, managing director of KNAPP UK. “It can form a cost-effective element for handling low- or medium-throughput items as part of a larger solution.” In addition, the new solution for Fagron
will feature KNAPP’s proven Streamline conveyor system, its ergonomic Pick-it- Easy-Health fulfilment stations and a person-to-goods picking area.
