MDS/HDS Shuttle Storage
Introduction
When warehouse space is at a premium, the answer isn’t always a bigger building. MDS/HDS Shuttle Storage helps you unlock more storage density and throughput from the footprint you already have.
Automated shuttles operate within an aisle racking to store and retrieve pallets at high density, with configurations designed around your available space, inventory profile and required throughput.
Whether you need forklift-assisted operation today or want to move towards full automation, SAS can configure the system to create more capacity in the same footprint while keeping inventory moving efficiently.
