Mother Child Shuttle ASRS or also known as Multi-deep Pallet Shuttle ASRS is a dense automated system, wherein the mother shuttle operates within the main aisles and acts as a carrier transporting the child shuttles to the appropriate bay location within the structure. The child shuttles, in turn, travel within the individual storage bay where they are responsible for retrieving and storing goods.

The Mother Child Shuttle ASRS stands as a pioneering advancement in the domain of storage solutions, enhancing the utilization and efficiency of automation in storage while maintaining its inherent simplicity. This solution integrates various types of equipment that collaborate harmoniously:

  • Compact Battery Operator pallet shuttle (Child Shuttle)
  • Bus Bar powered Shuttle-carrier (Mother Shuttle)
  • Inbound and Outbound conveyors
  • Buffer conveyors
  • Pallet lift

100% automated storage operations

Safe and efficient pallet handling

Modular design for scalability

System Architecture

Our Shuttle Fleet Control Software (SFCS) serves as the central control hub for the entire system and ensures that your entire inventory is easily accessible and handled with the utmost safety and efficiency.

Applications

Mother Child Shuttle ASRS systems are commonly used in high-intensity inventory operations with large batch quantities of SKU. This system provides increased storage capacity, faster retrieval times, reduced labour requirements and improved inventory accuracy.

Operation

The stacking and retrieval processes in these fully automated systems are customized to your needs. Specialized training is provided to certify operators in operating these systems.

Advantages

Often selected for its dynamic functionality, efficient use of space, and improved work environments, these technologies can integrate with other automation technologies and warehouse software for even greater efficiencies. Other benefits include:

  • Higher throughput compared to stacker crane ASRS

    due to multiple shuttles operating simultaneously at every level

  • Best use of space

    as it provides high density storage almost double than Stacker Crane ASRS

  • Safe and efficient pallet handling

    provides high level of process reliability

  • Quick access and faster delivery times

    through continuous loading and unloading

  • Inventory storage security

    with secure enclosures and real-time inventory control

  • Integrate into larger systems

    to further streamline operations and improve workspace ergonomics

  • Reduced operational cost

    through increased utilization of space
