Swisslog AgileStore Review: Features and Uses of the 4-Way Pallet Shuttle System
Updated: 7 days ago
The Swisslog AgileStore is a pallet storage system built on roaming 4-way shuttles. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
AgileStore is Swisslog's flexible alternative to cranes and lane shuttles. Its shuttles travel forward, backward and sideways in deep-lane racking, and lifts carry pallets, and optionally the shuttle, between levels. That lets a small number of shuttles reach every position, and the system grows by adding shuttles or lifts. It suits ambient, chilled and deep-freeze stores and links to mobile robots, conveyors and monorails. Swisslog's page gives no payload, speed or throughput; those are available on request.
