Sustainable logistics solution for faster order processing
SSI Schaefer has implemented a highly automated picking and shipping system for Sanicare, one of Germany's largest mail-order pharmacies. The new system handles more than half of the picking processes automatically. With a processing time of 20 minutes per parcel, up to 10,000 shipments leave the logistics centre every day
An alternative, faster sister to shuttle technology D
ematic is to offer
AutoStore’s new Black Line cube- storage solution, designed for
applications requiring very high throughputs. The newly introduced high-density storage
and retrieval system follows similar operating principles to AutoStore’s successful Red Line solution, but critically, incorporates significant design innovations that make it far faster and efficient at processing large order volumes. Designed to be complementary systems
capable of integration as a single solution, both the Red Line R5 and the new Black Line B1 robot can operate together on a new double-double grid system, making upgrades attractive. Black Line brings together a number of
technological advances, an ultra-compact robot design that retains the bin within its
body, direct drive technology for faster acceleration, quick battery change for continuous uptime, an advanced double- double grid format for greater flexibility and ease of travel, a deeper bin size for carrying larger products and a new workstation concept for higher throughput capacity. Presented to the market as an alternative to
shuttle technology, the Black Line solution has a number of design advantages over its sister Red Line system. The B1 robot is almost half the size of the R5 and is designed to carry a bin within the body of the vehicle, saving cube space and making more room for other busy robots. The higher body cavity enables it to carry taller bins up to 425mm. With a top storage layer for digging and sorting, no bins block the grid, allowing for more sophisticated route planning and higher speeds.
