Dematic Multishuttle Meat Buffer automated guided vehicle system

The Dematic Multishuttle Meat Buffer system operates in both frozen and chilled environments and allows for the transfer of product cartons between aisles without the use of a traditional conveyor system. This increases flexibility and reduces the risk of worker injuries.

The automated order fulfilment and dispatch processing system has pallet automated storage and retrieval, featuring freezer-rated, high-reach automated guided vehicles (AGVs). It is managed and controlled by Dematic software, eliminating many potential occupational health and safety hazards associated with the manual handling of heavy cartons and errors associated with incorrect picking.

Dematic software provides full track-and-trace capabilities for every carton of every SKU. The solution can pick multiple SKUs concurrently within a single aisle, while providing high throughput, order flexibility and accessibility to stock.

The self-charging AGVs feature high-precision laser guidance and the latest safety technology, including a 360° safety scanning system with automatic slowing and stopping, easily accessible emergency-stop buttons, and visual and audible warning and alarm lights. They help to improve operational efficiency and accuracy, and can operate 24/7 year-round.
