Automated storage and order preparation for any box size

Smartshuttle is an automated box preparation and handling system based on mobile robotics. An innovative design that maximizes warehouse capacity and offers unique flexibility, capable of adapting to irregular layouts and working at all levels, from the floor to 20 meters high.

Its architecture allows you to make the most of the available space, move boxes and bins of different sizes, and ensure a constant flow of goods. In addition, its autonomous mobility facilitates integration with other intralogistics systems, creating a smooth storage and order preparation process.

Advantages of Smartshuttle for your automated warehouse

Mobile robotics: all robots can quickly access any position

⬆️ Maximum use of space: it works from the lower level up to a height of 20 meters, increasing capacity without the need to expand the floor space

🏗️ Adaptation to irregular layouts: its mobility allows it to operate in complex environments and take advantage of every available meter, even with obstacles

📦 Handling of different box sizes: the same robot can pick up and transport a variety of loads

Efficiency and speed: each operation is performed quickly and accurately, speeding up order preparation

🧩 Flexibility and scalability: it is possible to add more units according to demand, ensuring uninterrupted growth

🔗 Easy integration: it connects easily with conveyors, preparation stations, and other automated systems

🍃 Integrated sustainability: reduces resources in its implementation and achieves energy consumption optimization

Customized study for each project

Every company has different needs, which is why we carry out a detailed analysis of the flow, available space, and growth objectives before implementing one of our systems.

This allows us to design a customized, scalable, and flexible solution that ensures maximum warehouse performance and guarantees that the investment translates into efficiency, productivity, and cost reduction from day one.

How the system and its robots work

Smartshuttle moves autonomously through the warehouse to locate, collect, and deliver goods to the exact point where they are needed. Its mobility allows it to work at all levels, from the floor to a height of 20 meters, ensuring a constant flow of boxes.

The handling forks automatically adapt to different box sizes, so that the same robot can handle a wide variety of loads with complete precision. This avoids having to standardize to a single box size, providing real flexibility to the process. In addition, it can operate in multiple depths, taking advantage of every available space.

As a mobile robotics system, each robot can access any position within the warehouse. Intelligent coordination between multiple units allows for progressive scaling of capacity, increasing the number of robots or storage as demand requires.

Unmatched scalability

Smartshuttle has been designed to grow at the pace of each business. One of its great advantages is the possibility of increasing the number of robots or expanding storage capacity independently, without the need for both variables to evolve at the same time.

This allows you to respond appropriately to each need, whether it is adding more robots to manage peaks in activity or expanding warehouse capacity when it is necessary to increase stock. In this way, unnecessary investments are avoided and the system progressively adapts to demand, maintaining uninterrupted operations.

Benefits of implementing the system in your automated warehouse

Smartshuttle adapts to irregular spaces and makes use of every available meter of warehouse space, even in complex environments.

It connects easily with conveyors, preparation stations, or existing automated technologies, becoming a central element in the logistics flow.

Its autonomous movement is designed to be smooth and precise, reducing vibrations and ensuring the protection of goods during each operation.

Smartshuttle is designed to work continuously, maintaining constant productivity and eliminating the downtime associated with manual processes.

Each unit can handle boxes and containers weighing up to 50 kg, allowing both light products and heavier goods to be managed within the same system.

It operates via a constant power supply line, eliminating the need to stop to recharge batteries and ensuring stable performance at all times.

Holistic sustainability

Smartshuttle has been designed with a holistic sustainability concept that integrates energy efficiency, resource optimization, and people’s well-being. Its architecture reduces the need for additional infrastructure and makes better use of available space, minimizing the impact of new construction.

The system operates with a continuous power supply, which reduces energy consumption and eliminates stops for battery recharging, ensuring more responsible energy use.

At the same time, it incorporates ergonomic “goods-to-person” stations that reduce physical effort for workers and improve safety in daily operations. Its maintenance stations are designed to be comfortable and accessible, preventing workers from having to lift heavy loads or adopt awkward postures.
