Able to accurately and quickly transport an array of goods and materials, the t-Rail, an overhead robotic system, never disrupts floor-level activities.
Typically deployed in DCs and fulfillment centers, the overhead robotic system can be used with a micro-fulfillment solution, as it enhances operations in back room and retail store settings. Due to its unique elevated design, the t-Rail can carry bulk quantities of items or packages in a hopper or tote.
Using elevators to interact with floor-level operations, the system enables warehouses to maximize space and eliminate traffic on floors. When it’s used in retail settings, the t-Rail is able to provide overhead transport of loose items and cases of goods between back rooms and sales floors—without causing aisle congestion or interference with in-store shoppers and employees.
t-Rail is a dual-purpose robotic transport system. It is used for retail / grocery store transport to deliver goods to and from the selling floor for multiple process flows. It can also be used for a warehouse environment for tote or bulk transport of goods. In both cases, t-Rail is positioned overhead to avoid floor level traffic and congestion.
When used for store-based retail, used as an overhead transport carrying totes, cases, loose items or orders to customers. Ideal for supercenters, grocery, mall anchors, club stores or large retail.
When used in a warehouse, can carry one or more packages or cartons of varying sizes through the warehouse without interruption to floor-level operations. Ideal for Distribution Centers and Fulfillment Centers.
