GEBHARDT StoreBiter® MLS

High-density multi-level-shuttle

The GEBHARDT StoreBiter^® MLS is an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) that can retrieve items from multiple storage levels. Suitable for totes, cartons, and trays, it can quickly transport goods to workers and up to rack storage areas.

It is ideal for complex manufacturing warehouses and distribution centres with high order volumes. With the precision of automated storage systems, you can also quickly handle small orders without sacrificing accuracy. Our shuttles interface with WMS and ERP software to receive, respond to, and track order requests.

MLS systems are also highly dense, thanks to compact shuttle vehicles and racking. By making your facility more space efficient, you can keep building costs low and maximise floor space.

Multi-Level-Shuttle Components

Shuttle Vehicles

We have several types of shuttle models to suit various heights. Each shuttle consists of a vehicle and a load-handling device (LHD). Our vehicles use rails to drive to their destination.

Load Handling Devices (LHD)

Load Handling Devices (LHDs) are solutions that can extend into racking to load and unload units. They use a small, precise conveyor to move the product unit onto the rack or onto the shuttle vehicle.

Applications

Order Picking

Multi-level-shuttles can be used to retrieve goods from storage areas. Our systems can suit various picking styles, such as batch picking and wave picking. By quickly transporting goods to workers, orders can be completed in a shorter timeframe. This is ideal for users with short delivery windows and managing orders during peak seasons.

Stock Replenishment

Our ASRS storage systems can quickly carry incoming goods up to storage areas. The movement of product units and shuttles is continuously monitored for greater process visibility. In addition, automating replenishment improves site safety by reducing the need for manual handling.

Buffering

Shuttle systems can help create a storage buffer to keep operations lean. By introducing an area to temporarily hold goods, items can be prepared ahead of time to prevent delays.

Buffer stores can also be used as storage reserves, creating additional space for high-demand goods. Manufacturers and distributors can tap into these reserves to combat demand surges. They can also help maintain productivity in the event of supply chain disruptions, such as raw material shortages.

Production and Assembly

Multi-level shuttles are well suited to manufacturing warehouses because of their buffering capabilities. With products that require several processes to produce or complete, MLS systems can put aside items rather than transporting them back to storage.
