ESMARTSHUTTLE^®

Thanks to its international patent, ESMARTSHUTTLE® guarantees the absolute positioning of machines and the destination of loads. Utilizing a detailed 3D map of the entire warehouse, ESMARTSHUTTLE® moves and stores pallets with unparalleled precision, optimizing every millimeter of available space. With a compact positioning that allows for up to 100 pallet positions per channel, efficiency and storage capacity are maximized, reducing waste and costs.

Thanks to absolute positioning, ESMARTSHUTTLE® can perform independent missions, maximizing warehouse performance. The E-SHUTTLE can operate simultaneously alongside multiple E-SATELLITES, ensuring a continuous intensive flow of storage operations. To further increase warehouse flows, multiple ESMARTSHUTTLE® units can operate in the same storage aisle. With these features, ESMARTSHUTTLE® represents the best solution for improving the performance of any automated warehouse. Additionally, the intensive storage flow is accompanied by extraordinary volumetric optimization, reducing land costs and vertical dimensions.

The dedicated system network of ESMARTSHUTTLE® ensures a reliable, powerful, and stable connection thanks to 5 GHz Wi-Fi communication. The state-of-the-art lithium battery of the satellite, which recharges in masked times, allows ESMARTSHUTTLE® to utilize positioning with Datamatrix, confirming it as the only pallet shuttle capable of regularly performing independent missions.

The ESMARTSHUTTLE® system, integrated with EXA and PLC, automatically detects any anomalies during the transport of pallets, such as damage or misalignments. In the event of detection, EXA and PLC immediately react to restore the mission. If the anomaly persists, the system blocks the affected channel and automatically redirects the pallet, ensuring smooth and continuous operations without human intervention, optimizing warehouse productivity.

The remote-adjustable I/O light barrier system of ESMARTSHUTTLE® allows for the management of storage for load units of various sizes, including overhangs, ensuring stability during transport and optimizing space in the aisles. Additionally, it offers the ability to customize the storage logic for each aisle, ensuring maximum flexibility in management.

Maintenance intervals are managed intelligently, calculating cycles, missions, and working times for each machine, ensuring precise interventions based on actual usage. Automatic lubrication units further simplify maintenance and extend the lifespan of the machines. The system also supports predictive maintenance, anticipating potential issues through data and analysis, with real-time notifications for non-urgent actions, maintaining operational efficiency.

Thanks to the creation of a Digital Twin, Eurofork can virtually replicate the system to test data flows and exchanges before implementation. This technology allows for reduced commissioning time and costs, improving the efficiency and reliability of the system. In addition, it enables in-depth data analysis, mitigating the risk of downtime, optimizing processes, and ensuring seamless operational integration and system continuity.
