The Omni-Pallet Mole is a fully automated 4-way shuttle system, ideal for high-density storage environments. Unlike traditional systems, the Omni-Pallet Mole allows pallets to be stored and retrieved from any direction, maximising space utilisation and operational flexibility.
Omni-Pallet Mole: A Revolutionary Storage Solution.
The system operates autonomously, requiring no manual intervention for moving pallets or managing inventory, and can be integrated with existing warehouse management systems (WMS) for full automation.
Shuttle systems not only improve storage density but also help reduce ongoing energy costs. The fully automated 4-way shuttle system offers substantial savings in both lighting and heating by operating in a lights-out environment. Since shuttles don’t require human operators in the aisles, the warehouse can operate with minimal lighting in automated areas, leading to significant reductions in electricity bills. Furthermore, the automation system can operate in a wider range of temperatures than human workers, allowing you to reduce HVAC costs and operate in a more energy-efficient manner.
Space Maximisation
The ability to store and retrieve pallets in any direction allows you to optimise vertical space and reduce aisle width, increasing storage capacity by up to 60% compared to traditional systems.
Increased Productivity
By automating pallet retrieval and putaway processes, the system operates continuously, even in environments where human operators would need rest or breaks, boosting throughput and efficiency.
Reduced Labour Costs
The system eliminates the need for manual labour in retrieving and storing pallets, freeing up staff for higher-value activities and significantly improving safety by reducing human traffic in high-risk areas.
Multi-Directional Movement
The Omni-Pallet Mole moves in four directions – forward, backward, left, and right – allowing it to navigate through narrow aisles and provide access to any pallet within the racking system, maximising storage density. This is achieved through advanced sensor technology and precision motor control systems.
Payload Capacity
The system can handle loads up to 1,500 kg per pallet, making it suitable for a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and retail, where heavy and bulky pallets need to be stored efficiently.
Precision and Speed
The shuttles operate at speeds of up to 3 metres per second, ensuring high throughput in dynamic environments. This system is capable of operating 24/7 without interruption, maximising warehouse productivity and reducing labour costs.
Automated Lift Integration
The 4-way shuttle works in conjunction with automated lifts, enabling seamless vertical pallet handling. The shuttle system can interface with lifts to transport pallets between different levels of a high-bay warehouse, providing complete automation from putaway to retrieval.
Energy Efficiency
The regenerative braking system used in the Omni-Pallet Mole converts kinetic energy back into power, reducing energy consumption. The system also benefits from electro-mechanical lifts instead of hydraulic systems, which lowers both energy consumption and maintenance requirements.
Maintenance and Longevity
The shuttle system is built for long-term performance, with minimal moving parts and wear-resistant materials designed to withstand heavy-duty operations. The reduced complexity compared to other systems leads to lower maintenance costs and fewer breakdowns. With a service centre in the UK any maintenance and servicing can be completed in a timely manner.
