4 Way Automated Storage Solution for Mega Fortris

The client sought out an automated solution that would transform their new facility to enhance capacity, improve throughput and optimise process flow.

Thistle Systems has designed and installed a bespoke AutoCube® system to transform the Mega Fortris facility The project delivers over 1,800 pallet positions using our Max The Cube® approach to maximise storage capacity within the existing building footprint.

The system is engineered for high performance throughput, capable of handling 100 in and 100 pallets out every day.

The operation is powered by our MAXIQ® warehouse orchestration software, which provides advanced route planning to continuously calculate the most efficient paths for the shuttles. This intelligent software prevents congestion and balances workloads, ensuring the facility achieves predictable and efficient system flow.

A layered safety architecture was implemented to prevent conflicts between multiple shuttles working in close proximity within the same structure. This bespoke solution creates a seamless process flow between automated storage and the production environments.
