Quicktron Robotics is bringing its QuickMix suite of integrated goods-handling technologies to Australia.
Designed for multi-robot collaboration, the hybrid solution combines tote-to-person, shelf-to-person, pallet-to-person, high density storage, and flexible transport into a single robot control system platform.
Within its pallet-level end-to-end automation platform QuickCube, Quicktron replaces conventional lifts with innovative compact lifts (2-direction) embedded directly into rack rails, working in tandem with its self-developed four-way shuttle bots to achieve ultra-dense pallet storage.
By removing the bottom rack level, QuickCube can also integrate a G2P shelf-to-person system. For outbound flows, submersible mobile robots handle pallet transfers to buffer zones, from which Quicktron’s proprietary omnidirectional unmanned forklifts move pallets to loading docks.
The QuickCube “pallet storage-up, picking-down” system not only executes full-pallet and case-pick operations but also replenishes QuickBin Ultra high-density tote storage. As a high-throughput vertical tote-handling system capable of up to 3 m/s vertical lift speed, QuickBin Ultra pairs the bin pickers A5 high-speed picking vehicle (200 picks/hour) with the bin movers M5F/M5E single- or double-fork tote movers (4.5 m/s linear speed). Leveraging efficiencies between big and small robots, a single workstation can reach 600 totes/hour outbound throughput.
In addition, certain QuickBin Ultra zones can merge with existing tote-handling systems to plan mixed G2P shelf-to-person picking beneath tote racks or connect directly from Ultra’s bin pickers to conveyor lines for tote outbound picking.
This modular approach dramatically increases application flexibility. What’s more important, all hardware systems across these solutions are configured and managed by Quicktron’s RCS platform, simplifying operations for both users and integrators while enhancing scalability across complex scenarios.
Quicktron says its QuickMix suite enables operations to adapt to complex and rapidly changing needs.
