In the modern cold chain landscape, data visibility and operational control have become non-negotiable. Real-time tracking, temperature accuracy, and traceability are now essential for food safety, compliance, and efficiency. Addressing these needs, Zikoo Robotics has developed a powerful Six-way shuttle solution paired with an intelligent WCS platform — delivering full-cycle digital control for cold chain operations.
This integration transforms traditional storage into a truly responsive, adaptive, and data-driven system — laying the foundation for a next-generation Pallet Smart Warehouse.
Beyond Automation: Digitizing the Cold Chain Workflow
Unlike conventional solutions that focus purely on movement, Zikoo’s Six-way shuttle is designed to support deep operational intelligence. It allows seamless tracking and coordination across receiving, picking, temperature zoning, and outbound activities. From frozen meats to dairy and ready-to-eat meals, the system ensures each pallet follows a clearly monitored, optimized, and secure path through the warehouse.
Enhanced by the Legacy of the Four-way Shuttle
Built on the proven platform of the Four-way shuttle, the Zikoo system adds embedded dual-axis vertical lift modules, enabling six-directional movement and eliminating traditional bottlenecks like centralized vertical lifts. This allows the shuttle to move autonomously and efficiently across complex, multi-zone facilities — ideal for high-throughput cold chain logistics.
Intelligent WCS Integration for Full Transparency
At the core of this digital upgrade is Zikoo’s self-developed warehouse control system (WCS). The WCS synchronizes with customer WMS platforms to create a closed-loop intelligent control system. This enables:
Temperature zone classification
Batch-based traceability
Task tagging and prioritization
Real-time performance visualization
These features empower companies to meet the demands of modern Intelligent Logistics — where speed, accuracy, and traceability must coexist within tightly regulated environments.
Driving Digital Transformation, Not Just Automation
As enterprises push toward smart operations, Zikoo’s technology supports true Digital transformation of warehousing. Through data insights, predictive scheduling, and intelligent route planning, the system improves not only productivity but also food safety and compliance outcomes.
Additionally, Zikoo’s platform enables centralized monitoring and control, making it possible to deploy consistent best practices across distributed cold storage networks.
Built for Density, Engineered for Growth
The Six-way shuttle system’s ultra-slim design enables tall racking and high pallet density. This makes it an ideal solution for Dense storage, helping businesses make the most of every cubic meter of cold storage space. Whether retrofitting an existing site or launching a new automated facility, Zikoo’s solution is designed for rapid deployment, modular expansion, and maximum return on space.
By leveraging real-time data and intelligent automation, Zikoo Robotics enables customers to build Automatic 3D warehouse ecosystems that are scalable, secure, and future-ready.
Zikoo Robotics empowers global cold chain enterprises with smarter infrastructure. Our Six-way shuttle solution delivers the agility of a Four-way shuttle, the intelligence of next-gen logistics, and the control of a data-driven platform — all engineered to create a fully connected Pallet Smart Warehouse.
