Aviator System as an Alternative to Warehouse Handling Devices

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Aviator is a floor-free working warehouse vehicle, which gives a third alternative to the market of stacker cranes that consist also of the narrow aisle stacker and the rack feeder. Officially introduced as Transfaster in 2002, this full-automatic working system has been realized several times. This article will give an overview concerning the structure of the system and its functionality, and will compare it to conventional systems regarding advantages, disadvantages and performance. Therefore ways of calculating cycle times are introduced.
