The Rainbow Dynamics RackBot™ features new technology for fulfillment operations. This tote-based AS/RS is designed to handle the fast throughput requirements of modern e-commerce and retail companies, especially in such categories as pharmaceutical, health and beauty, electronics, manufacturing and automotive.
The RackBot solution is steps ahead of the competition when it comes to flexible design and scalability – with lower costs and faster deployment times than traditional solutions.
The inbound process begins with an ergonomic workstation for decanting, scanning and filling totes, which the system’s FloorBot AMRs deliver to the RackBots located in the storage area. The bottom level of each rack has designated positions for the exchange of totes between FloorBots and RackBots.
While some well-known systems have a maximum height of less than 20 feet, RackBot solutions can reach 30 feet, taking full advantage of the available vertical space in many modern warehouses. The RackBot AS/RS also excels versus solutions that utilize tall AMRs, as such systems require ultra-flat surfaces, which results in added costs and time to deploy.
RackBots run on rails that attach to standard shelving, saving much of the costs and development time associated with other tote-based AS/RS solutions. This feature also puts RackBot in the lead when designing autonomous storage and retrieval systems to brownfield operations.
The RackBot system is designed to meet the challenges of today’s e-commerce fulfillment operations, where throughput requirements are crucial to operational success.
With faster cycle times, lower cost, and speedy deployment, it’s no wonder that RackBot is an attractive solution for customers seeking scalability and great value.
