<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThere must be a lot of people wondering about the comparison between the 4-way pallet shuttle and the mother-child shuttle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In our opinion there is no absolute good or bad solution, only suitable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Factor 1: Different warehousing modes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Warehouses with many varieties and small batch sizes, or warehouses with few varieties and large batch sizes, are suitable for four-way pallet shuttle transport. However, the mother-child shuttle is only suitable for warehouses with few varieties and large batch sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Factor 2: Different inbound and outbound strategies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 4-way pallet shuttle can First-in First-out, but mother-child shuttles cannot. Because it is wasteful to deploy mother shuttles to every peripheral track. But 4-way pallet shuttle can reach any storage location in the warehouse, including every peripheral track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Factor 3: Flexible attributes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mother-child shuttles can only run on their own tracks. If a mother shuttle stops working, the goods beside cannot be stocked in and out. If a 4-way pallet shuttle stops working, the system can send instructions to other 4-way pallet shuttle\uff0cthe warehouse can operate normally. In this point, the mother-and-child shuttle is as inflexible as the crane ASRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Factor 4: Efficiency differences<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because mother-child shuttles can only run on their own track, the crane ASRS can only run on a fixed track, the efficiency cannot be maximized. But 4-way pallet shuttle can. When the goods of one floor are centralized in and out of the warehouse, all 4-way pallet shuttles can reach this floor to work.<\/p>\n","_et_gb_content_width":"2880","content-type":"","rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[46,54,53,43],"class_list":["post-987509400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-24","tag-asrs","tag-four-way-pallet-shuttle","tag-mother-child-shuttle","tag-warehouseautomation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zikoo-int.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987509400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zikoo-int.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zikoo-int.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zikoo-int.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zikoo-int.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=987509400"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.zikoo-int.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987509400\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":987513829,"href":"https:\/\/www.zikoo-int.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987509400\/revisions\/987513829"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zikoo-int.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/987512743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zikoo-int.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=987509400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zikoo-int.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=987509400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zikoo-int.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=987509400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
