- Key Products/Technologies
- Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (AS/RS): Unit Load AS/RS for heavy loads like pallets (supporting up to 6,600 lbs and rack heights up to 131 ft), Mini Load AS/RS for small totes, cases, and trays (supporting up to 662 lbs and rack heights up to 66 ft), and the vehicle-based Shuttle Rack M system for high-speed sequencing and sorting. It also offers AS/RS solutions with earthquake countermeasures to mitigate load displacement risks.Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (AS/RS): Unit Load AS/RS for heavy loads like pallets (supporting up to 6,600 lbs and rack heights up to 131 ft), Mini Load AS/RS for small totes, cases, and trays (supporting up to 662 lbs and rack heights up to 66 ft), and the vehicle-based Shuttle Rack M system for high-speed sequencing and sorting. It also offers AS/RS solutions with earthquake countermeasures to mitigate load displacement risks.
- Conveyors & Sorters: Chain conveyors for product movement in manufacturing and processing operations, belt and roller conveyors (Gravity, Narrow Belt Live Roller (NBLR)) for light and medium-duty loads, and the 'Surfing Sorter' case sorter for high-capacity distribution centers. The NBLR High Speed Accumulation Conveyor utilizes zero pressure accumulation technology to prevent product damage during high-speed handling.Conveyors & Sorters: Chain conveyors for product movement in manufacturing and processing operations, belt and roller conveyors (Gravity, Narrow Belt Live Roller (NBLR)) for light and medium-duty loads, and the 'Surfing Sorter' case sorter for high-capacity distribution centers.
