Zikoo’s solution—comprising the Four-way shuttle (R-bot), the vertical shuttle (H-bot), and a centralized RCS system—enables dense storage and flexible operations even in 2~8°C environments. The system supports both full-pallet access and split-pick operations, meeting the real-time needs of batch recall, expiry control, and intelligent tracking.

✅ Key advantages:

Dense storage architecture with up to 80% space utilization gain

Seamless batch management and regulatory compliance for GMP/GSP

Integration-ready with global WMS/WCS platforms

Proven stability across real-life deployments in pharmaceutical cold storage centers
