Differences and application scenarios of two-way shuttle and four-way shuttle

shuttle: It is an intelligent robot that walks with the help of the guide rail on the shelf and carries goods to achieve automatic storage. The biggest difference between the shuttle and AGV is that the shuttle needs to walk on the track, while the AGV does not need to walk on the track.

According to the vehicles carrying goods can be divided into pallet shuttle and material box shuttle, the former is to solve the tray storage, the cargo is relatively heavy, the weight is basically several hundred kilograms to several tons; The latter is a bin storage solution, and the goods are relatively light, from tens of kilograms to less than 200 kilograms.

According to the way of walking, it can be divided into two shuttle vehicles or four shuttle vehicles, the former can only walk before and after, the latter can realize both front and back walking, and can walk around. This paper introduces the differences and application scenarios of two-way shuttle and four-way shuttle in detail.

facto	Two way shuttle car	Four way shuttle car
Type of goods stored（SKU）	Categories can not be too much, a roadway can be placed two kinds of goods, more suitable for a single variety of larger number of goods	Utility More Category (SKU) storage
storage efficient	Since the two cars do not need to avoid each other and replace the female guide rail, the storage efficiency is higher	Shuttle vehicles need to avoid each other and replace the female guide rail, the efficiency is lower than the two-way shuttle
Change the track and altitude	With forklift or elevator (semi-automatic)	Self-replacement (fully automatic)
（WCS）	Not Required	Need
Capex	Including shelves, forklifts and shuttles, the total cost is not high	Including shelves, shuttle, elevator, conveyor line, scheduling system, large investment
Market experience	It has been applied for decades since 1993, and the technology is very mature	Including shelves, shuttle, elevator, conveyor line, scheduling system, large investment
Whether female guide rail is required	Not Required	Need
Warehouse height effect	Due to the impact of the height of the forklift, it is generally not more than 12 meters	The elevator can change layers and reach a height of 25 meters
