Servus Goods To Person Robotic Shuttle | Bastian Solutions

Mini-load AS/RS goods to person shuttle system for improved order fulfillment

The Servus robotic shuttle system is secure automated storage system for storing small goods and parts in boxes, cartons, and totes. This plug and play solution is ideal for ecommerce or omnichannel order picking, sequencing outbound orders, case buffering, holding parts or kitted parts for production assembly, and more. It is easily integrated into existing facilities and can even be used as mobile, on-site automated storage for construction sites or as a 24/7 delivery and collection station.

Choosing a solution that provides increased visibility and control optimizes the flow of your materials. Its easy scalability accommodates future changes in throughput or storage volume, making it an adaptable solution for any business.

How It Works

At the heart of Servus Intralogistics’ system is the ARC3 (Autonomous Robotic Carrier Generation 3), an intelligent and autonomous transport robot that can transport any item up to 110 lbs. (50 kg).

The ARC3 is not your average shuttle. As an independently acting swarm robot, the ARC3 is able to deliver its load to any required destination on the track by the shortest path possible.

The modular system can be configured to any unique situation, allowing for the transportation of everything from simple cartons and boxes to custom parts. Customers can choose a unique combination of ARC3 robots, load handling devices, connections, stations, plus route and assistance systems to make their ideal automated storage system.

The loading equipment integrated in the ARC3 allows for independent loading and unloading at any side of the track. With accessories such as articulated robotic arms, hoppers and feeders, turning devices, custom part carriers or special fittings, the flexible transport robot can be adapted to most customers' requirements.
