Green light for innovation
Open Shuttles are automated guided vehicles (AGVs) that can move completely freely across available spaces without any guiding lines. The intelligent Open Shuttles are ideally suited for complex conveying jobs within a warehouse. Rising demands for speed, flexibility and quality as well as increasing article numbers require new approaches to conveying goods within the warehouse. Furthermore, transport systems must be designed to be space-effective and flexible to quickly and economically respond to changing conditions. This is a task that pushes classic conveyors to their limits. KNAPP’s Open Shuttles are the ideal solution. The flexible Open Shuttles support numerous processes in the warehouse, combining flexibility, economy, safety, efficiency and scalability.
Flexible alternative to classic conveyor systems
The flexible Open Shuttles are suitable for various logistical applications in order fulfilment and distribution centres as well as in production. Open Shuttles provide an alternative to pallet or container conveyor systems and can be used in all warehouse areas. There are Open Shuttle variants for containers, trays and cartons or for pallets, depending on the logistical requirements. A special portable shelf allows the Open Shuttle to convey several load carriers at the same time.
The free-moving Open Shuttles handle the following tasks:
- Conveying: linking warehouse areas; express orders, etc.
- Supplying: goods-to-person work stations (e.g. zone picking)
- Picking: supporting manual picking (e.g. Pick and Go picking)
- Sequencing: establishing an exact sequence of load carriers on the move
- Tugger train: conveyance of several load carriers following the tugger train concept
| Load carriers | Containers, cartons, trays, pallets; optional: small portable rack to convey several load carriers (containers, trays or cartons) |
| Weight of transport object | Up to 100 kg (container, tray, carton) Up to 1,000 kg (small portable rack) Up to 1,300 kg (pallet) |
Maximum flexibility – complete safety
The Open Shuttles move about completely independently across free surfaces using innovative navigation technology, needing no inductive loops or track rails. Using laser navigation and sophisticated sensor technology, the Open Shuttles sense their way through their environment. By naturally scanning contours in this way they know exactly where they are at all times. The Open Shuttles respond dynamically to their environment, avoid obstacles, and independently plan their path through the warehouse as well as alternative routes. The Open Shuttles provide maximum safety for people as well as maximum flexibility, so they can also be used in highly frequented warehouse areas.
The KNAPP Fleet Management System manages and monitors the Open Shuttles centrally; new routes or procedures can be specified within a few short minutes. Thanks to their individual and swarm intelligence, the Open Shuttles are always there where the work is. They can communicate with each other and distribute the tasks among themselves independently.
