Frequently Asked Questions:

  • How does this system improve cold storage operations?
    • This system improves cold pallet storage operations by automating inventory visibility, reducing labor, optimizing storage density, higher throughput capacity, and providing real-time monitoring and analytics.
  • Can it integrate with my current warehouse management software?
    • It can integrate with most major warehouse management software through standard APIs and data interfaces. Likewise, WES (warehouse execution systems) software can be layered in where required to provide additional warehouse flow efficiencies and labor savings.
  • What are the energy implications of using this system?
    • The system uses energy-efficient electric shuttles and sensors to minimize energy consumption for cooling and transportation. Generally, the reduced footprint, forklift, and labor create savings from non-automated facilities. 
  • How does the shuttle system handle emergency situations or power outages in the cold storage environment?
    • The shuttle system has failsafe battery backups and redundancy to ensure continuity during outages. Emergency protocols can trigger alerts, open doors, and safely park shuttles.
  • Can the system be scaled or expanded as our warehouse operations grow or change over time?
    • The modular design allows for easy scaling by adding more shuttles and racks as your warehouse needs evolve.
