Muratec Uni-SHUTTLE HP Review: Features and Uses of the Shuttle Storage System
Updated: 7 days ago
The Muratec Uni-SHUTTLE HP is a shuttle-type automated warehouse for cases and totes. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
Uni-SHUTTLE HP is a shuttle warehouse whose strength is sequencing. Besides storing, it sorts on the way out: goods are retrieved in groups, by store or category, or in an exact order. That lets workers pick at fixed stations, and lets a factory receive parts in production order. Several types of shuttle carriage and vertical conveyor are combined to reach the capacity required, and multiple vertical conveyors allow several items to be palletized at once in little space. The page gives no speeds or throughput.
