Four-Way Shuttle Automated Warehouse Helps Australian Packaging Company Increase Storage Density by 70%
Zikoo Robotics designed and implemented a four-way shuttle automated warehouse solution for an Australian packaging company with more than 46 years of industry experience.
The customer had been relying on traditional floor-stacked storage and manual forklift operations. As inventory volumes increased, limited storage capacity, high labor requirements and low space utilization became major operational challenges.
To maximize storage capacity without expanding the warehouse footprint, Zikoo Robotics developed a four-level, high-density pallet storage system featuring one main aisle and 12-deep storage positions. The solution integrates four-way shuttle robots, vertical lifts, WMS, WCS and the customer’s existing Ostendo ERP.
The completed system provides approximately 1,000 pallet positions, increasing storage density by ~70%, reducing labor requirements by ~80%, and improving overall operational efficiency by ~60%.
Key Project Results
- ~1,000 pallet positions
- ~70% higher storage density
- ~80% reduction in labor requirements
- ~60% improvement in operational efficiency
- 4 four-way shuttle robots
- 2 vertical lifts
- 4-level high-density pallet racking
- 1 main aisle + 12-deep storage
- WMS + WCS integrated with Ostendo ERP
The system enables automated pallet storage, retrieval and transportation while providing centralized warehouse management and equipment control.
Customer Challenges
The customer's traditional floor-stacking warehouse was becoming a constraint on further growth.
Key challenges included:
- Limited storage capacity within the existing footprint
- Low utilization of vertical space
- High dependence on manual forklift operations
- Increasing labor requirements
- Limited warehouse visibility and inventory control
- Lack of connectivity between the ERP system and warehouse equipment
The customer therefore needed a solution that could increase storage capacity, control investment and connect existing business systemscURL Too many subrequests by single Worker invocation. To configure this limit, refer to https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/configuration/#limits

The combination of four-level racking, one main aisle, 12-deep storage and four-way shuttle technology created approximately 1,000 pallet positions within the existing footprint.
At the same time, the reuse of existing wooden pallets reduced unnecessary asset replacement, while the integration of four-way shuttles and vertical lifts reduced dependence on manual material handling.
On the software side, the integration of WMS, WCS and Ostendo ERP connected business orders with inventory management and equipment execution.
The result is a warehouse solution that combines high-density storage, automated handling and digital warehouse management.
