In the evolving era of intelligent cold chain logistics, food manufacturers and distributors face three pressing challenges: low-temperature operational difficulty, declining labor efficiency, and high space utilization costs. Zikoo Robotics is leading the transformation with its next-generation Six-way shuttle system — an advanced solution purpose-built for the creation of Pallet Smart Warehouses that prioritize dense storage and automation.
Advanced Engineering: Beyond Four-way Shuttle
Building on the proven capabilities of the Four-way shuttle, Zikoo’s innovation introduces an embedded dual-axis vertical H-bot mechanism, enabling seamless movement in six directions: up, down, left, right, forward, and backward. This system breaks free from the traditional reliance on bulky vertical lifts, offering full flexibility across all warehouse zones — from standard ambient environments to sub-zero frozen storage.
High-Density, Low-Energy: Maximizing Every Cubic Meter
Designed with a compact 125mm ultra-thin chassis, the Six-way shuttle supports payloads up to 1.5 tons and is compatible with tall, custom-built racking structures. Compared to conventional stacker cranes or lift systems, Zikoo’s shuttle reduces vertical equipment footprint by 80%, unlocking vertical space for greater SKU storage density. This ensures that every cubic meter is fully utilized — a fundamental requirement for cold storage where space is both premium and costly.
Intelligent Routing & Environmental Adaptability
The Zikoo Six-way shuttle operates reliably in temperature zones ranging from -25°C to 8°C, making it ideal for frozen food, dairy, meat, and pre-packaged meal industries. It supports both full-pallet and split-case handling, while also featuring batch-level tracking, thermal zoning, and smart recognition for high-frequency order fulfillment. Seamless integration with customer WMS platforms accelerates the digital transformation of warehousing, empowering end-to-end visibility and traceability across operations.
Scalable, Global Deployment
With its modular, standardized architecture and compliance with CE and international certifications, Zikoo’s system is engineered for global rollout. It supports localized WCS customization and rapid plug-and-play deployment, allowing clients to quickly scale based on business needs. Whether the use case involves high throughput or multi-SKU operations, Zikoo’s solution lays the groundwork for a truly Automatic 3D warehouse — intelligent, adaptive, and future-ready.
