TruShelf is a mobile shelf system for common AMRs that enables the autonomous transport of small load carriers in the intra logistic sector. It expands an AMR‘s degree of utilization by bundling various transports in one route. The lifting unit enables variable loading and unloading heights. The modular shelves in the depot unit can be adjusted to the desired box height. Combined with the fleet management system TruFleet for intelligent navigation, TruShelf is the ideal solution for efficient transport of small load carriers and for automated material supply to assembly stations or machines in intralogistics.
TruShelf is available in two variants: as a complete solution including MiR200 or as a partial solution without AMR. The great advantage of this is that the shelving system can be easily integrated into existing AMRs from common manufacturers. This ensures the optimal use of existing resources and thus saves avoidable costs.
Dimensions of a shelf module: 300 x 400 mm (on request 400 x 600 mm)
Highlights
Functions
- Bundled transport of up to 5 small load carriers of different sizes and weights at the same time (sizes: from 75x105x160 mm to 400x600x300 mm according to requirement)
- Autonomous loading and unloading of storage and conveyor systems in different positions and heights (loading height: 550 mm-1.400 mm depending on box size and application field)
- Just-in-time transport and flexible response on changing demands
- Ergonomic and safe collaboration between man and machine for manual loading and unloading
- Intelligent route finding and fleet intelligence through TruFleet (fleet management system) and TruOS (operating system)
- Flexible integration into existing logistics systems
