AirRob Robotic Tote Handling System
Take your operations to new heights with the AirRob robotic tote handling system.
Maximize Space and Efficiency With the AirRob Goods-to-Person System
The AirRob robotic tote handling system delivers outstanding storage density and material flow rate results. This system lets facilities manage large volumes of goods precisely, which is especially impactful for high-throughput environments. AirRob optimizes available space effectively, improving storage density without sacrificing accessibility or speed.
Breaking Down the AirRob Components
Every part of the AirRob system plays a significant role in its efficacy and overall functionality. Here’s what each component accomplishes:
Charging Station
The charging station is the floorbot’s lifeline, ensuring continuous operation. Designed to maximize uptime, the charging process is rapid and managed via an intelligent system that determines the best charging times, reducing idle time and increasing availability.
Rail System
The rail, fixed on one side of the rack, facilitates the precise and swift movement of totes. As the backbone of the racking infrastructure, the rail provides a fixed path for the robotic arm to navigate while enabling accurate tote transport.
Tote
Totes are transportable storage containers within the AirRob ecosystem. They interact seamlessly with other components, allowing materials to be moved and organized with minimal human intervention.
Workstation
Workstations are control centers where human operators can interface with the automated system. Adjusting to real-time demands, workstation operators can oversee the process and ensure smooth operation within the AirRob system, which translates to heightened efficiency.
Floorbots
The floorbot navigates autonomously around the warehouse floor. Using a combination of sensors and software, it aligns with totes, workstations, and the charging station to form a cohesive and intelligent system. These smart vehicles are essential for transporting totes to and from the rail, showcasing the interoperation of all AirRob components.
Enhance Your Warehouse Efficiency With Polymatic Solutions
Polymatic Solutions can help you integrate the AirRob robotic tote handling system. This system helps facilities manage substantial volumes of goods effortlessly. We optimize space and improve material flow rates for high-throughput environments.
Improve Warehouse Capacity With AirRob’s High Storage Density
Optimizing warehouse space utilization transforms operations. The AirRob robotic tote handling system achieves remarkably high storage density, a key advantage for facilities that store large volumes of goods in limited spaces.
Twin Directional Picking
The system’s design incorporates twin-directional picking, which enables robots to access totes on racks both in front and behind them. This feature eliminates the need for additional maneuvering space, allowing for continuous, fluid operation.
Narrow Aisles, More Storage
The AirRob system requires aisle widths of at least 0.85 meters. Such narrow aisle specifications are significantly less than traditional warehouse configurations, liberating space for additional racking systems. This space optimization directly correlates to increased storage capacity.
Optimizing Tote Storage
Fine-tuning storage space also extends to the individual placement of totes. AirRob’s robotic system maintains a precise 10 to 30-millimeter gap between totes. This exact spacing is the optimal distance for maximizing tote density and ensuring the system’s reliable and safe operation.
Adaptability With AirRob’s Goods-to-Person Robot System
Deploying multiple AirRob units in a single aisle enhances system scalability. Facilities can accommodate increased demand by integrating additional racks. This adaptability ensures that warehousing operations can scale up without significantly disrupting existing workflows.
The AirRob system can interface with floor bots anywhere beneath the racks. This allows for a more diversified approach to handling and transferring totes within the warehouse environment.
With a throughput capacity of over 20,000 totes per hour, the AirRob system supports a flexible range of applications. Warehouses can manage many levels of demand and adjust their operations accordingly to maintain efficiency and productivity.
High Efficiency with AirRob’s Robotic Tote Handling
A single AirRob can pick and store up to 150 totes per hour. A station can efficiently manage 600 inbounds and the same amount of outbounds within an hour. This means reduced order cycle times and faster customer delivery. Complementing human workers, AirRob allows businesses to scale operations without a proportional increase in labor costs.
