The Two-Way Tote Shuttle sorts, buffers and retrieves totes and cartons, feeding small items via conveyors to goods-to-person picking stations.
Second-generation configurations
Second-generation standard model: telescopic clamp with fixed width and depth.
Second-generation smart model: telescopic clamp that expands or contracts to adjust its width.
System advantages
Low-voltage power supply and low energy consumption.
The catalog lists a picking rate of 1,000 pieces per hour.
Fewer aisles and less floor space for the same throughput.
Lightweight, one-piece extruded aluminum forks manufactured to close tolerances.
Custom Italian linear guides for smooth pickup and placement.
Telescopic forks with multiple gripping fingers reach totes at different storage depths.

Functions and control
Function
Description
Automatic inbound transfer
Receives a host command and moves a tote from the inbound buffer to its assigned storage location.
Automatic outbound transfer
Receives a host command and moves a tote from its assigned storage location to the outbound point.
Automatic relocation
Receives a host command and moves a tote from one assigned storage location to another.
Online charging
Uses multiple battery charge thresholds to determine when to charge automatically.
Self-learning
Measures and identifies rack and storage-location data and records the parameters automatically.
Remote updates
Supports downloading and updating programs remotely over Wi-Fi.
System monitoring
Monitors system data in real time and triggers audible and visual alarms when an abnormal condition is detected.
Heartbeat monitoring
Exchanges heartbeat signals with the host controller in real time to monitor whether the shuttle is online.
Emergency stop
Accepts a remote emergency stop command, stops immediately and remains stopped until the emergency condition is cleared. It can apply maximum deceleration to stop the equipment or load safely.
Navigation and positioning
Reports its current position and direction to the system platform in real time while moving.
Motion interlock
Interlocks fork movement and shuttle travel for safe operation.
Adaptive suspension
Compensates for height differences at rail joints to reduce rack impact and vibration.
Operating status monitoring
Reports real-time coordinates, vehicle attitude and speed while the shuttle is moving.
Preventive maintenance alerts
Prompts operators to carry out level I, II and III maintenance.
Flash Fish rides a rail on one side of the rack aisle. Its lifting platform and retractable clamp store and retrieve totes and cartons at different levels. The compact system supports storage, picking and replenishment.
The Attic Shuttle moves along a side rail and lifts or lowers its telescopic clamp to serve several rack levels. It suits moderate-throughput storage, picking and replenishment of small items, including temporary line-side storage.
The EMS Shuttle is an automated overhead conveying system for warehouses and production lines. It combines industrial networking, non-contact power, track switching, travel and lift control, and coordinated multi-shuttle movement.
