Summary of Innovation
A roaming shuttle automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) with highly advanced sorting and sequencing capabilities, ADAPTO automates the picking of a wide array of products – serving as a force multiplier for staff members and enabling DCs to operate with far greater efficiency.
ADAPTO roams levels and aisles independently of lift platforms to enable true 1:1 picking, accuracy is ensured, and orders are never accidentally combined. The ability to sequence within the ADAPTO system allows for a smaller footprint and increases the storage capacity of DCs. This permits the stocking of more SKUs and increases the overall velocity of fulfillment operations. ADAPTO also seamlessly integrates with Vanderlande’s intelligent software, Goods-to-Picker workstations, and Robotics. Modular in design, additional shuttles and fulfillment capacity can be added with ease.
