Observation camera<br />

Interface for operating the shuttle<br />

Battery charging station<br />

The program to control the Pallet Shuttle is<br />

installed on each tablet. Various functions<br />

can be performed, including:<br />

­ Selecting the Pallet Shuttle to be used.<br />

­ Automated movements.<br />

­ Manual movements for maintenance.<br />

­ Compacting or relocating pallets, bringing<br />

them closer to the exit point.<br />

­ Inventory: counts the number of pallets<br />

stored in each channel.<br />

­ User management: this funcionality<br />

manages shuttle user permissions for<br />

autho rised personnel.<br />

­ Battery charge status.<br />

The observation camera facilitates operations<br />

conducted at heights.<br />

A battery­charging station was installed<br />

that can charge the batteries of six Pallet<br />

Shuttle simultaneously. Batteries can also<br />

be charged independently of the shuttles,<br />

that is, the battery can be removed from<br />

the shuttle and replaced with a previously<br />

charged one. In this way, all the shuttles<br />

will always be operational to fulfil the orders<br />

needed.<br />
