TIQE (CAMBODIA) EQUIPMENT CO., LTD

An automated warehouse system is a modern solution that helps businesses multiply storage capacity, speed up order processing, cut labor costs, and manage inventory with absolute accuracy. With this system, your warehouse becomes not only safe but also smart, efficient, and highly competitive

Benefits Analysis of Each System ????

1. Shuttle 2 Ways • Principle: The shuttle moves horizontally (left–right) on one rack level.

Benefits: Increases storage capacity compared to forklifts. Fast and safe pallet handling, reduces collisions. Lower investment cost than Shuttle 4 ways and AS/RS. Application: Suitable for warehouses with multiple SKUs but less demand for flexible expansion.

2. Shuttle 4 Ways • Principle: The shuttle moves both horizontally (left–right) and vertically (forward–backward) on the same rack level.

Benefits: More flexible than Shuttle 2 Ways → easy to change layout and expand the warehouse. Faster order processing. Higher space utilization efficiency. Application: For businesses that need flexible and scalable warehouses with fast throughput (e-commerce, FMCG, logistics).

3. AS/RS (Automated Storage & Retrieval System) • Principle: Cranes or robotic systems automatically place and retrieve pallets at each high-rack position.

Benefits: Maximizes vertical space → multiple times higher storage density. Accurate real-time tracking of every pallet. Significant labor reduction, minimizes accidents. • Seamless integration with WMS/ERP. Application: Large-scale warehouses that require speed and precision, such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and central logistics hubs.

Quick Comparison:

• Shuttle 2 Ways: cost-efficient, basic automation.

• Shuttle 4 Ways: flexible, faster, easy to expand.

• AS/RS: maximum storage, full automation, absolute accuracy.

The maximum load capacity of an automated racking system (AS/RS, Shuttle, 2-way, 4-way, etc.) does not have a fixed value; it depends on:
 • System type: Shuttle, 2-way, 4-way, Miniload, or Unitload.
 • Rack and equipment design: rack height, pallet/carton size, rail structure, and automated stacker cranes.
 • Manufacturer: each brand (e.g., Daifuku, SSI Schäfer, Dematic, or Chinese intralogistics providers) has its own standards.
 • Warehouse requirements: light goods (cartons), medium goods (pallets 500–1,000 kg), or heavy-duty goods (pallets 1,500–2,000 kg).

???? Typical ranges:
 • AS/RS Miniload (cartons): 30 – 100 kg/tray.
 • AS/RS Unitload (pallets): 500 – 1,500 kg/pallet (up to 2,000 kg in some cases).
 • 2-way Shuttle: about 500 – 1,500 kg/pallet.
 • 4-way Shuttle: 1,000 – 1,500 kg/pallet, with more flexibility due to horizontal and vertical movement.
