STANDARD

Storage: the satellite, placed frontally in the “Home” position by a standard elevator/forklift truck, similarly receives the pallet to be stowed in the row. Via the “stow” button on the radio controller, AUTOSAT lifts the pallet and carries it to the first free position within the storage lane. Once the pallet has been stowed, it returns to the starting position.

Picking: the satellite, placed frontally by a standard elevator/ forklift truck, receives the command to pick merchandise via the “Pick” button on the radio controller. It runs along the rack, stops in below the first available pallet, lifts it and carries it to the “Home” position. The operator can therefore easily collect the pallet with the forklift truck and free the machine.

Continuous picking: with a single press of the “Continuous picking” button, the operator sets off an activity consisting of multiple picking missions, without the need to repeatedly press the buttons on the radio controller. This is useful for multiple picking operations in the same lane.

Manual setting of distance between pallets from 20 to 150 MM In the case of pallet overflow, the distance between pallets can be managed automatically via radio controller.

MANUAL CONTROL OF AUTOSAT

• The satellite’s functions are controlled manually via radio controller.

• Every step of the operation is controlled by separate commands, such as lift, stow, move.

• Radio controller suitable for managing up to 4 AUTOSAT simultaneously

• Mission counting capacity

• Automatic maintenance warning

OPTIONAL

“Compacting push” pallet reorganisation mode

AUTOSAT automatically reorganises the lane, compacting all of the pallets to fill empty spaces. (function available for FIFO mode, compacting from production)

“Compacting pull” pallet reorganisation mode

AUTOSAT autonomously reorganises the lane, compacting all of the pallets to fill empty spaces. (function available for FIFO mode, compacting from shipping)

Anti-collision between AUTOSAT units in the same lane

Required if multiple satellites are used in the same lane. The satellites communicate with each other, avoiding collisions. (function available for FIFO mode)

Stock taking: pallet quantity count

The satellite, moving along the lane, counts the pallets via the upper sensors. The total number of pallets handled is shown on the radio controller display. Useful for medium and long lanes.

Multipallet: handling of pallets of different sizes in the same channel (FIFO or LIFO)

Ensures flexible handling within the warehouse and allows for the use of pallets of different sizes within the same lane.

“PLUS” continuous picking

Allows for rapid picking. The satellite behaves in the same manner as with continuous picking, but each mission is independent of the pallet being collected. If the first pallet made available is not collected, the satellite proceeds with the second picking operation, which will then be queued. In this manner, there are always two pallets ready to be collected.

Partial picking

Via the AUTOSAT radio controller, it is possible to define the number of pallets to pick in continuous mode.

Continuous storage

With a single press of the “Continuous storage” button, the operator starts an activity consisting of multiple storage missions. This is useful for multiple storage in the same lane.

Bi-directional operation

AUTOSAT is capable of operating in FIFO mode, inverting direction via the radio controller.

Controlled pallet storage

Via the AUTOSAT radio controller and the relative menu, it is possible to define the position for the storage of the first pallet in the lane.

Odometer

Counts the km travelled.

Camera

AUTOSAT is equipped with an on-board camera to provide realtime vision of AUTOSAT’s movement and immediate diagnosis via Wi-Fi.

QR Code

Lane identification using a QR code tag.

Inclinometer

Detects incorrect positioning of the pallet shuttle within the lane.

Distance between pallets of up to 240 MM

Distance between pallets of up to 350 MM

Special functions on request

Diagnostic software

In the case of mission errors, the radio controller displays the problem code to the operator.
