The Duosysmini-load automated storage and retrieval system by Daifuku Webb acts as a highly efficient sortation system by allowing multiple cranes to function in the same aisle, moving past each other without interference.
The system increases throughput up to 2,200 cases per hour. Also offered is the model 100 TT SmartCart automatic guided cart. Low to the ground, the cart tunnels under customized carriers and—when equipped with an automatic hitch—it can independently couple and decouple from the carriers.
Ideal for use in assembly lines, the cart can also deliver pallets to and from stretch wrappers, roller conveyors and palletizers, or move loads around a facility.
How DUOSYS Mini Load AS/RS works
The DUOSYS is laid out in two levels in order to produce a maximum storage and retrieval throughput of up to 2,200 cases per hour. Two Storage Retrieval Machines (SRM)s operate within each level. They navigate around each other without interference to perform storage and retrieval operations. The combination of two levels allows four SRM’s to operate on the same rack performing up to four picks simultaneously.
Features include:
- High throughput - The maximum throughput of up to 2,200 cases per hour is six times higher than a conventional system with the same footprint.
- Lower power consumption - Because of their lightweight design, DUOSYS SRM’s consume less power than older models performing similar tasks. Also, the system controls direct the movements and speed of each SRM in the most efficient manner, requesting that the closest available machine perform a storage or retrieval task at the most optimized speed. Plus the system transfers regenerative power produced by one slowing SRM to the other SRM’s.
- Non-stop operation - DUOSYS supports the independent operations of its four separate SRM’s and the concept of zero idle time.
- High maintainability - The system remains in operation while maintenance is performed on one or more of the SRM’s.
