Solution 1: Six-Way Shuttle for Dense Storage Optimization

The core of this solution lies in the combination of R-bot (Four-way shuttle) and H-bot (vertical shuttle), delivering complete six-directional movement across Automatic 3D warehouse spaces. This layout enables unparalleled spatial utilization and efficient load handling—ideal for long-term storage applications.

Performance Comparison:

Vs. Stacker Crane Systems: Faster deployment, greater flexibility, lower energy consumption

Vs. Four-way shuttle + Lifter Systems: Smaller footprint, lower cost, simplified installation

Vs. Manual Shuttle Systems: Supports SKU mixing, digital maintenance, and labor savings

Ideal for:

Manufacturing, food and beverage, cold chain, chemicals, and energy industries—where dense storage and stability are critical.

Solution 2: Integrated Storage & Picking for High Throughput

Building on the dense storage framework, Zikoo’s enhanced system supports edge-of-rack picking and mother-aisle outbound flows. By allocating the upper levels for storage and lower levels for picking, this Six-way shuttle setup boosts both efficiency and space density.

Key Features:

Independent planning of aisles and depths across levels

Customizable buffer zones and shortest route algorithms

Designed for frequent in/out operations with dynamic SKU turnover

Ideal for:

3PLs, retail, e-commerce, apparel, FMCG, and supermarkets—where storage and picking happen concurrently at scale.
