New UltraBot IE Automated Distribution System Provides High Efficiency for Order Fulfillment Applications New Automated Material

Handling System UltraBot IE ASRS allows accommodation of many types and sizes of cartons and totes up to 36 in applications that include ord er picking and fulfillment, order consolidation, returns and reverse logistics, buffering, sorting, staging, kitting, and work-in-progress. A single UltraBot IE ASRS can handle up to eight transactions per minute, 480 per hour. A three-caro usel system can handle up to 1,440 transactions per hour. Wixom, MI, September 03, 2013 -- The new UltraBot IE robotic automated storage a nd retrieval system (ASRS) New UltraBot IE Order Fulfillment Systemfrom Integrat ed Systems Design (ISD) efficiently delivers totes, boxes and cases to one or mo re high-speed order picking workstations in support of a wide range of order han dling applications in operations. UltraBot IE systems will hit 1440 transactions per hour or more. The UltraBot IE inserter/extractor moves up and down the front of two or three t iered horizontal carousels automatically retrieving order items as it goes. It d elivers them to a conveyor and unloads them for routing to batch picking or dyna mic batching workstations where orders can be buffered until the operator requir es that pick. Completed orders are automatically taken from the workstation and routed to the next workstation or zone for further processing. The modular flexibility of the UltraBot IE ASRS allows it to accommodate many ty pes and sizes of cartons and totes up to 36 in applications that include order pick ing and fulfillment, order consolidation, returns and reverse logistics, bufferi ng, sorting, staging, kitting, and work-in-progress. A single UltraBot IE ASRS c an handle up to eight transactions per minute, 480 per hour. A three-carousel sy stem can handle up to 1,440 transactions per hour. Systems with additional Ultra Bot IE robots and tiered carousels can boost throughput even higher. The UltraBot IE ASRS is built using standard, off-the-shelf components offering a lower cost of acquisition, quick installation, reliable operation and reduced maintenance downtime. It can reduce labor requirements by up to 2/3 while offeri ng 99.9%+ accuracy levels. Its space saving design can recover up to 85%+ of the floor space required by rack and shelving systems. The system provides a lower acquisition cost and a faster ROI than multi-shuttle, crane and aisle and typica l robot systems.
