Automated four way pallet shuttle system

4 way pallet shuttles are a type of high-density automated storage solutions that use mobile satellite or “shuttles” to travel product pallets horizontally down rows of racking systems.

Although there are many mature solutions for high-density, multi-depth pallet warehouse storing, like Radio Shuttle System, Stacker Crane plus Satellite System, Mother & Baby Shuttle (satellite) System, but challenges are still left for warehouse automation suppliers along with more density storage market demand. 
Since 2018, HUADE team had input research and development on Four Way Pallet Shuttle for exploring more flexibility and further expansion in fully automatic pallet storing and retrieval system. 6 years past, we are proud to say that our four way shuttle had been iteratively updated to the forth generation, which is faster, thinner and more accurate.

HOW DOES FOUR WAY PALLET SHUTTLE SYSTEM WORK?


 

A pallet shuttle system is an automated storage solution designed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of high-volume pallet storage and fulfillment. These systems use satellite vehicles to transport pallets to and from designated storage locations within a high-density, multi-level racking system, offering a efficient and safer alternative to traditional non-automated methods. A 4-way pallet shuttle system further elevates automated pallet storage by enabling movement in all four directions—forward, reverse, cross-aisle, and vertically. This multi-directional and cross directional capability allows seamless lane & aisle switching without additional equipment or manual intervention.

 

Excelling in dynamic, high-density environments, the Four-way shuttle warehouse offers enhanced flexibility, superior space optimization, and increased throughput compared to 2-way systems. Integrated with Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Warehouse Control System (WCS) software, the system ensures precise coordination, efficient inventory management, and seamless operation across all levels of the storage process.

 

Further automation is achieved with integrated pallet lifter that transport pallet loads to designated levels within the system for storage. These Lifters also retrieve pallets from storage and deliver them to pallet conveyors for takeaway, significantly reducing reliance on forklifts and manual operations while streamlining overall workflow. The more levels, the more cost-effective your system becomes.

Typical Four Way Pallet Shuttle Components:

 

 

All system components of Four Way Shuttle ASRS are designed, engineered and manufactured by ourselves to ensure system compatibility and long useful life. Our hardware over time has resulted in enhanced safety and design plus advanced technology and functionality, providing you with a unique, automated, high density storage solution. 

HUAYIDE believes that in the ASRS solution, "software defines hardware", and software determines the fluency and cooperation of hardware. Hence four way pallet shuttle system is built on our own WMS & WCS, which realizes the dynamic management of stored items in the warehouse to ensure that the physical inventory is consistent with the account. Along with real-time data transmission with ERP, WMS assesses orders, inventory, labor and material handling systems to effectively execute order fulfillment. From storage to picking and all the way through shipping, WMS determines the most productive flow and resource allocation. We also provide accurate zone visibility of downstream capacities, destination availability & each equipment status to most effectively utilize your warehouse storage space.

 

 

Applications of Four Way Pallet Shuttle ASRS:

Manufacturing Business FG WH
or WH attached to production line
  • High level of inventory, large storage space;
  • A very volume of loads to be in & out;
  • Rotation is not a priority, inbound & outbound throughput requirement relatively lower than storage capacity;
  • A large number of pallets with the same SKU;

Feature: High-density & Flexible Aisle

Manufacturing Business
Raw Material Warehouse
  • Less inventory because of space constraints, near to production line and usually in multistory warehouse type;
  • A very volume of loads to be in & out;
  • Rotation is not a priority, inbound & outbound throughput requirement relatively high;
  • Less number of pallets for a single SKU;

Feature: WMS flexible location assignment

Manufacturing Business SFG WH
or Buffer Area for Production
  • Less inventory because of space constraints;
  • First In First Out;
  • Fast rotation and extremely high throughput;
  • Less number of pallets for a single SKU;

Feature: Multiple Shuttles

Third Party Logistics Warehouse
  • High level of inventory, large storage space;
  • A very volume of loads to be in & out;
  • Fast rotation and high inbound & outbound throughput requirement;
  • Less number of pallets for a single SKU;

Feature: Flexible Aisle Design
WMS flexible location assignment
Multiple Shuttles
