 CRANE SHUTTLE ASRS

Our Pallet shuttle systems are incorporated with Stacker Cranes for higher density
storage racking. The stacker crane carries out movements from input and output locations to the
storage channel replacing forklifts for faster and efficient material flow.

The pallet shuttle then moves with the pallet load, from the crane, to the innermost free
storage location. High density storage racks are installed on either side of the working aisle
hence only one aisle space is required. The shuttle and the stacker crane are managed by our
WMS software, which administers the warehouse operations.

CROSS SECTION

Shuttle allows you to expand the performance range of traditional compact warehouse
system - saving space by eliminating aisles. Achieve improvement potential in terms of filling
level, throughput, and diversity of items, space utilization and load protection.

MULTI DEEP SHUTTLE ASRS
Multi deep Pallet Shuttle ASRS is a revolutionary multi-deep Automated storage system
for Pallets, comprising of multiple types of equipment working in tandem:

• Ultra-capacitor powered pallet shuttle

• Shuttle-carrier
• Pallet lifter
• Buffer conveyors

Each Shuttle & Shuttle Carrier operates on a single level, and are able to access pallets
stored in a level by moving in orthogonal directions to each other.

The pallet shuttle ASRS and Carrier is able to communicate with each other and also
with the Shuttle Fleet Management Software (SFMS), which relays instructions as to which
pallet to store and retrieve from which location. The shuttle and shuttle carrier are fitted with
state-of -art distance, positioning and proximity sensors, and is highly accurate and able to
place pallets within 5 mm accuracy.

 SHUTTLE RACKING SYSTEM
Radio shuttle is a semi-automatic storage solution for handling goods inside rack bays,
similar to Drive-In systems. The radio shuttle eliminates the need for forklift entry within the
racking system thereby achieving deeper racking systems, hence offers fast, cost effective &
time saving solution.

These systems work on the LIFO ( Last In, First Out ) principle where the forklift
operator places the load on support rails at the loading area, which prompts the shuttle to store
the pallet at the next available free space.

Craftsman’s Shuttle Racking system uses powered shuttles to automatically carry loads
into the rack, making it a high-density compact storage solution, it can work in both FIFO (First
In, First Out) and LIFO (Last In, First Out) modes.

 SORTING AND TRANSFER VEHICLE

The STV system is based on intelligent, high-speed and rail guided vehicles customized
for specific load handling applications. This technology is an efficient, cost-effective and fast
option for complex sorting applications or connecting very distant points. It is also an
interesting alternative to long conveyor lines and reducing queuing.

Rail guided transfer systems, that travel along the floor of a facility without an on-board
operator. Their movements are directed by a combination of software and sensor-based
guidance systems which is controlled by our WMS.

 PALLET CONVEYOR SYSTEMS

Warehouse operations require a steady flow of materials for production, storage and
dispatch purposes. Every material has diverse features and require conveyor systems that service
handling and distribution within the facility.

We at Craftsman design flexible and cost-effective pallet conveyor systems suitable for
assembly lines or storage facilities, using automatic or manually controlled workstations thereby
increasing productivity and reducing costs.

Conveyor systems are material handling equipment used for movement of materials within
an area. These systems are integrated with Storage systems for efficient and smooth material
movement. Empowered by our ultra-modern designing and fabrication facilities, we at Craftsman
Automation design and manufacture conveyor systems in-house hence providing customers
with one stop solution.

 MINI LOAD ASRS CRANE
Mini Load stacker cranes designed for smaller loads such as bins, totes, carton boxes
etc. These systems provide both high storage capacity and high throughput through out the
operation.

The Mini-Load Automated warehouse for bins is made up of a central aisle, along which
a stacker crane travels, and two racks built on either side used to store bins. Its function is
to store and stock the bins according to the system’s requests, updating the information in
real-time. Coupled with our mini-load sorting and conveying systems for picking and handling
operations.

The design of the stacker cranes enables the forces transmitted to the supporting structure
to be minimized thus preventing long-term damage to the racking or the structure of the warehouse.
Craftsman storage has also equipped its machines with essential ergonomic and safety systems
necessary to carry out work orders and maintenance as easily as possible.

 MINI LOAD SORTING AND
CONVEYING SYSTEMS
From warehouse automation to production facilities, Craftsman Mini-load conveyor systems
are used for a broad range of applications. It is a modular transporting system for bins, totes, small
carton boxes and products weighing up to 50 kgs. The use of a driving system and presence
detection systems enabled by mechanical or optical sensors allow boxes to be moved under
controlled conditions to the desired positions

The functions of the system include conveying, sorting, buffering, merging, diverting, lifting
and lowering. Our conveyor systems are scalable to the needs of its users and adjustable for future
expansion. The conveyor systems are controlled through a PLC based intelligent warehouse
control system (WCS). The WCS operates in-synchronization with the warehouse management
system (WMS) to ensure seamless delivery in the required sequence. Multiple systems can be
stacked together for even higher throughputs.
