Geekplus, one of many world’s largest warehouse automation know-how suppliers, has launched RoboShuttle Hyper, its next-generation tote-to-person climbing AMR answer.
Engineered for high-throughput operations, together with B2C e-commerce order surges, fresh-food and cold-chain success, consolidation warehouse operations and micro-fulfillment facilities (MFCs), RoboShuttle Hyper delivers as much as 6,000 totes per hour per 1,000 sq. meters.
The accompanying new Max Workstation allows a dual-point steady tote-feeding mode that may exceed 800 totes per hour.
Throughput is a important metric for success operators, and RoboShuttle Hyper was engineered to optimize it at each stage. The system permits extra robots to work in the identical area on the identical time with out buying and selling away reliability.
Elevating throughput by better concurrency
RoboShuttle Hyper climbs at as much as 1.5 m/s. New motion-control algorithms, refined throughout years of real-world robotic operation, give Hyper quicker journey and tighter positioning accuracy when retrieving totes. Its 1:10 charge-to-discharge ratio helps preserve availability throughout peak intervals.
Parallel horizontal and vertical climbing allows 50 p.c increased concurrency than the trade norm. RoboShuttle Hyper helps concurrent operation of a number of robots throughout adjoining columns. Solely two rack columns have to be locked, in comparison with the trade norm of 4 to 6 columns.
RoboShuttle Hyper additionally allows dual-robot operation throughout the identical column. The progressive double-deep, dual-pass, bidirectional retrieval design reduces climbing cycles and boosts each storage density and operational effectivity.
Two aisles operating beneath a single rack enhance robotic path density by 30% over the trade common, lowering congestion and enabling quicker dispatching.
Geekplus’ clever scheduling system can coordinate as much as 5,000 robots throughout 50,000 sq. meters and three million storage areas.
Reliability is bolstered by a column-rail-integrated system with decoupled beam loading, multi-layer fall safety limiting tote fall distance to 50 mm or much less, and real-time tote misalignment detection and re-centering. RoboShuttle Hyper can be suitable with RoboSafe, Geekplus’ security vest answer.
A whole tote-to-person AMR portfolio
Geekplus entered the tote-handling phase in 2018 and has continued to develop its know-how portfolio, from its giant/small robotic structure to the launch of RoboShuttle Air in 2024 and the introduction of Robotic Arm Selecting Stations in 2025.
RoboShuttle Hyper joins RoboShuttle Air and RoboShuttle Flex in a three-solution portfolio designed to deal with totally different warehouse necessities:
- RoboShuttle Hyper: Subsequent-generation tote-to-person climbing AMR answer optimized for ultra-high throughput and density in functions together with contemporary meals, B2C e-commerce, consolidation warehouses and MFCs.
- RoboShuttle Air: Light-weight flying tote answer designed for secure, fixed-takt operations in finished-goods and manufacturing warehouses, together with environments with imperfect ground flatness.
- RoboShuttle Flex: Constructed for flexibility throughout giant SKU ranges, a number of container sorts and fluctuating order volumes.
RoboShuttle Hyper can be absolutely suitable with Geekplus’ Robotic Arm Selecting Stations and the Gino 1 general-purpose humanoid robotic, extending the corporate’s end-to-end capabilities for high-throughput success.
