Technology selection
Advanced equipment. A coherent operation.
Dense storage, mobile robots, buffers and software work together. The right mix follows the load, the demand and the space.
Tote storage
Thin carriers use two one-way travel lanes on each magnetic floor. Four independent continuous-loop units, two at each end, take totes to four ports.

Four-way pallet robots
Pallets four deep on yellow bars, with two central one-way travel lanes per level. Four independent lift units, two at each end; each unit has two pallet spaces.

Different technologies. Different jobs.
On a phone, swipe the table sideways.
| Approach | Good for | Key interface |
|---|---|---|
| Magnetic-floor tote storage (our approach) | Carriers use separate westbound and eastbound central lanes, with transverse slot branches; four continuous-loop lift units | Magnetic floor motors, two central one-way lanes, two lift units at each end and four pick ports |
| Top-grid tote cube | Dense bin storage and goods-to-person picking | Roof rails, bin retrieval and transfer ports |
| Rack-climbing tote robots | Direct tote access using floor and vertical travel | Rack engagement and workstations |
| Four-way pallet robots (our approach) | Dense pallet grid, four deep each side of two central one-way lanes | Yellow support bars, four independent lift units and transfer conveyors |
| AMR / AGV fleet | Flexible transport between work areas | Floor route, docking and load transfer |
| Goods-to-person picking | Presenting stock for picking, packing and consolidation | Buffers, presentation point and pick checks |
