Yuasa develops an automatic transport system for picking that accommodates narrow spaces.

【News 2024/2/1】Automating existing warehouses as they are to achieve significant improvements in labor reduction, efficiency, and storage efficiency.

◆Scheduled for release after May Yuasa Trading Co., Ltd. announced on February 5 that it has developed an automatic transport system for picking in logistics facilities called "Twin Pick" in collaboration with Phoxter Co., Ltd. and Plus Logistics Co., Ltd. "Twin Pick" is a system that accommodates narrow spaces and significantly improves storage efficiency up to ceiling height while reducing labor. This system is scheduled to be unveiled at Yuasa Trading's Kanto Logistics Center after May 2024. ◆A utility model system that simultaneously controls two types of robots In logistics facilities, securing storage space due to increased logistics volume and diversification has become a challenge, and there is a demand for labor-saving and efficiency improvements in receiving and picking operations. However, implementing automation requires line assembly and effort, making installation in narrow spaces difficult. The "Twin Pick" is the first domestic system to simultaneously control two types of robots: a "high-shelf container automatic transport robot" and a "low-shelf automatic transport robot," and it has obtained a utility model. By introducing the "high-shelf robot," storage efficiency is greatly improved, and by transferring products from the "high-shelf robot" to the "low-shelf robot," large-scale line assembly is no longer necessary.
