StorLogi Carton Shuttle System: An Intelligent Solution for Small‑Parts Storage

As smart manufacturing and lean logistics continue to advance, companies demand higher standards for small‑parts storage: greater density, faster throughput, reduced labor, and simpler management. To meet these requirements, StorLogi presents its next‑generation solution for efficient warehousing—the Carton Shuttle System.e and hope of the warehousing and logistics industry.

What Is a Carton Shuttle System?

A carton shuttle system is a high‑density automated storage solution designed for small to medium‑sized items such as components, tools, and electronic parts. Its core components include:

Automated rack structures

Standardized plastic cartons

Inbound/outbound conveyor systems

Intelligent shuttles (stacker cranes, shuttle vehicles)

Control hardware and software (WMS/WCS)

StorLogi Solution Highlights

Maximized Space Utilization**: Compact, multi‑tier rack design customizable to building height delivers 2–3× the storage capacity of conventional shelving in the same footprint.

Automated Handling & High Throughput**: Stacker cranes, shuttle vehicles, or conveyors execute unmanned in‑ and outbound moves. Paired with our WMS, throughput speeds rise by over 50%.

Modular & Flexible Configuration**: Supports multiple carton sizes, single‑ or double‑deep configurations, and various input/output layouts. Easily tailored for production lines or high‑SKU e‑commerce buffers.

Real‑Time Inventory Visibility**: Cartons are uniquely coded and tracked by location. Features include FIFO, batch tracing, and dynamic alerts to keep stock levels and quality under control.

Core Technological Innovations

Bi‑Directional Shuttle Technology**: Enables high‑density access up to 10 cartons deep. Compared to traditional cranes, bi‑directional shuttles boost retrieval speed by 30%.

AI‑Driven Task Scheduling**: Our WCS uses AI algorithms to optimize travel paths and job priorities, minimizing empty runs and maximizing overall throughput.

Active Collision Avoidance**: Millimeter‑precision sensors linked to PLCs ensure shuttles and cranes autonomously detect and avoid obstacles, allowing multiple devices to operate concurrently without interference.

Open‑API Modular Integration**: Follows industry‑standard APIs for seamless connectivity with MES, ERP, AGVs, and other automation platforms—integrating smoothly into your existing ecosystem.

Economic Benefits & ROI

Labor Cost Savings**: After initial investment, annual labor expenses can drop by 30–40%, while inventory errors fall below 0.1%, eliminating costly mistakes.

Optimized Floor Space**: Storage capacity per square meter increases 2–3×, freeing up valuable floor area or avoiding expensive external warehouse leases.

Boosted Operational Efficiency**: Automated processes cut picking and dispatch cycles in half, saving millions of operating hours annually.

Rapid Payback**: For a 1,000 m² facility operating two shifts with 2,000 carton moves per day, the combined hardware and software investment typically pays back within 18–24 months.
