Geekplus launches "Roboshuttle Hyper" for tote-to-person processes on the market
The "Roboshuttle Hyper" enables horizontal movements and vertical climbing movements simultaneously. The robots reach climbing speeds of up to 1.5 meters per second. Revised motion control algorithms are also supposed to enable higher driving speeds and more precise positioning when retrieving containers. The provider specifies the loading to unloading time ratio as 1:10. The solution also includes the new "Max Workstation". According to Geekplus, it enables continuous container supply over two transfer points and is supposed to achieve a throughput of more than 800 containers per hour.
Two Robots in a Shelf Column
Geekplus estimates the parallel operation of the system to be 50 percent above the industry standard level. According to the company, when robots operate simultaneously in adjacent columns, two shelf columns must be shut down. As a comparative value, the provider cites four to six columns with industry-standard solutions.
“Roboshuttle Hyper” also allows the simultaneous operation of two robots within the same column. The double-deep, bidirectional, dual-access retrieval system is intended to reduce the number of required climbing cycles and enable higher storage density.
Two Aisles Under a Shelf
Two aisles can run under a shelf. According to Geekplus, this increases the density of robot paths by 30 percent compared to the industry average. The provider aims to reduce bottlenecks and accelerate vehicle dispatching. The manufacturer's planning system is designed to coordinate up to 5,000 robots on an area of 50,000 square meters and with three million storage locations.
Fall Protection Limits Drop Distance to 50 Millimeters
For operational safety, Geekplus relies, among other things, on a system integrated into columns and rails with decoupled beam load. Additionally, a multi-step fall protection limits the drop distance of containers to a maximum of 50 millimeters according to the manufacturer. The system also detects misalignments of containers in real-time and automatically centers them. RoboShuttle Hyper is also compatible with the provider's RoboSafe safety vest.
