Built on the coordinated operation of the R-bot (Four-way shuttle) and H-bot (Vertical Two-way shuttle), the six-way shuttle system enables multidirectional movement—up, down, left, and right—without relying on fixed lifting or conveyor infrastructure. This structure allows for modular expansion, standardized storage products, and rapid deployment, creating a robust solution for high-density, high-frequency, and multi-scenario warehousing.

Key Benefits:
✅ Up to 80% improvement in space utilization, thanks to minimized aisle requirements.
30% faster order response times, supported by AI-powered dynamic scheduling.
50% shorter delivery lead time, enabled by simplified installation and reduced system complexity.
✅ Strong compatibility with pharmaceutical, manufacturing, cold chain, and 3PL applications.
