Skypod ®

No need for people to walk, greatly improving picking efficiency

Skypod is a next-generation automation solution that realizes GTP (Goods to Person) picking work, based on an autonomous transport robot that moves in three dimensions (front-back, left-right, and up-down) and racks that allow for high-density storage. The transport robot, traveling at a high speed of 4 meters per second, automatically stores bins (special containers) containing products in the racks. When a shipping instruction is issued, the corresponding bin is quickly removed and transported to the workstation within two minutes of receiving one order. This enables workers to pick without walking.

Labor saving and high productivity

Instead of humans, high-speed transport robots move freely in all directions within the warehouse area, accessing stations and racks. In addition to significantly reducing manpower, this system achieves a high throughput of up to 600 containers per hour.

High-density storage saves space

The rack can accommodate a maximum height of 14m, maximizing ceiling space utilization, significantly improving storage efficiency and reducing installation space.

Strictly Proper Function

Taking delivery routes and store shelf allocations into consideration, products are prepared in the optimal order for shipping, which significantly improves the efficiency of inter-store delivery and display work.

Excellent scalability

The system equipment is fully modularized, allowing for flexible expansion by simply adding equipment in response to an increase in items or expansion of business scale.

System components that create solutions

Transport robot

A four-wheel drive autonomous transport robot that quickly transports containers and cases placed on bins and trays.
rack

This modular rack can be installed up to 14m in height, providing high-density storage and expandability. Earthquake-resistant design structure.
workstation

A work base where workers pick and pack items, allowing order processing work to be done without walking.
Exchanger

An interface that connects Skypod with storage and retrieval facilities. Maximum 600 containers per hour can be loaded and unloaded.
Bins/trays

The bin is a special bucket for bulk products. It is available in width 650mm, depth 450mm (external dimensions), and heights of 220mm, 320mm, and 420mm. Compartment dividers are also available.
The tray can accommodate cartons up to 600mm x 400mm x 400mm high.
Control software (Deepsky)

Deepsky is the software that controls the entire Skypod system.
