APPLICATIONS
Our Intelligent Maglev Transport system has applicability across a wide variety of applications for the movement of cartons, totes and pallets, delivering a cost per move advantage that grows as throughput, workflow complexity, and payload size increases.
CARTON AND TOTE APPLICATIONS
Conveyance and Sorting
The Intelligent Maglev Transport system can perform operations such as divert, accumulate, buffer or recirculate at any location on the system. This allows the system to route movers carrying cartons or totes precisely to pick locations, minimizing the distance that pickers must walk. The solution also simplifies installation and reduces the operational footprint.
Goods to Person
The Intelligent Maglev Transport System enables a Goods to person system that delivers fast, accurate, and low effort manual picking. Throughput is accelerated by dynamically adjusting pick locations for each carton, tote, or rack. Staff save time by walking less, handling fewer packages and working smarter.
PALLET APPLICATIONS
Pallet Conveyance, Transport, and Sorting
Intelligent Maglev Modules impart magnetic forces to
low-cost robots (movers) causing the robots to levitate and travel across the system. These inexpensive robots transport pallets across the warehouse. An example use case is in cross docking, where pallets on robots are autonomously transported to buffering locations and then to outbound docks, increasing throughput, reducing operating costs, and creating a safer work environment.
Goods to Person Case Picking
Same-SKU pallets riding on inexpensive robots (movers) deliver the desired cases to manual or automated pick stations where the cases are picked, and multi-SKU pallets are built. Since each ground floor located pallet can be stored on a low-cost robot (mover), the operation can respond quickly to changing customer order profiles and achieve very high throughput.
