Shuttle is a storage device used in warehouses and is increasingly popular due to its smart and practical features. However, to operate this type of rack, the robot technology is an indispensable accessory, playing a crucial role in the decision of a company to purchase and use the Shuttle. Understanding the current financial concerns of businesses, we have decided to offer a Robot Shuttle rental service. Let's explore more details with Eurorack below.

To answer this question, you need to reassess and determine the current needs and financial situation of your business. Most of us are facing economic difficulties due to inflation, so it's crucial to carefully consider whether to make a large initial investment in a warehouse storage system.
On the other hand, you might say, 'To stay ahead and be a leader in adopting automated warehouse storage technology, or to prepare for when the market becomes active again, you could dominate the market by meeting the large demands of users.' You could consider taking a loan or cutting expenses in some areas to afford the Shuttle system. However, this might not be a wise decision and could pose risks to product quality as well as safety and welfare for employees.
Conversely, if you are a large, financially strong company or you are backed by investors ready to inject capital if you have a project, then you can certainly purchase the entire Shuttle system. It’s undeniable that the Shuttle is a modern technology with great potential to become a future trend in establishing a smart warehouse. If you own it during this period, your company will gain an advantage in today's fiercely competitive market.
Below are the three most popular types of robots widely used in Shuttle rack systems:
First, we must mention the Eurorack Wi-Fi Robot Shuttle, also known as the Eurorack Orbiter Rack. This is a rack system used in combination with the Eurorack Shuttle robot and forklifts to transport and store goods in warehouses. The Wi-Fi robot shuttle utilizes advanced Wi-Fi connection technology, far surpassing the previous radio shuttle model.
As a product in the line of intelligent automated storage racks, it applies German technology and is researched and manufactured by Eurorack. It has been used by companies such as Ajinomoto, Nestle, Vinamilk, and others in recent times.
This is an advanced automated storage system that uses Wi-Fi technology to control shuttle robots in the arrangement and retrieval of goods. The Eurorack Wi-Fi Robot Shuttle rack features the following highlights:
Especially, with just a Wi-Fi connected device, you can fully control the Eurorack Wi-Fi Robot Shuttle.
You will need to make a complete new investment if your warehouse currently uses traditional racks such as Double Deep, Drive-In, Selective, etc., as they are not compatible with Robot Shuttles. If you are setting up a new warehouse, this drawback can be overlooked.

This robot brand comes from Germany and boasts a series of highly intelligent features, making it widely used in large warehouses. It is operated by humans through remote control. The maximum allowable load is up to 3000kg with an impressive speed of 70m per minute. Of course, the speed will be even greater when carrying lighter loads.
The area that directly contacts the pallet is made from high-quality alloy steel that is rust-resistant, scratch-resistant, and does not warp over years of use. Additionally, the surface features detailed embossing techniques to create grip, preventing goods from slipping off the robot.
High quality, durable, not outdated, and equipped with the most modern motor technologies. This is why German machinery and equipment technology is always ranked among the best in the world.
Uses rechargeable electric fuel that charges quickly in 3-5 hours, with continuous usage time of up to 600 pallets. The battery used is Lithium Ion.
After some time of use, accessories such as wheels and chains wear out and need maintenance and replacement. At this point, owners may find it difficult to find genuine parts and are at risk of encountering counterfeit, low-quality accessories.
The cost of owning this type of robot is quite high.
This robot is also manufactured in Germany, but it was created to serve companies with lower cost requirements. As a result, it has been widely distributed around the world. If your business is looking for a solution that meets the criteria of weight capacity and quick goods retrieval at a lower cost, the Orbiter Schaefer is a recommendation you should consider.
Operates well in various environmental conditions such as cold storage, production warehouses, etc. The optimal temperature range for the robot is from -20 degrees to 45 degrees.
Good load capacity and can replace conventional storage racks. The frame characteristics of the Robot Shuttle depend on the weight of the goods placed on the robot and are flexibly constructed by the manufacturer.
Although it has been widely distributed in the global market, it is not yet commonly used in Vietnam, so you may have to wait a long time for your order.
There is significant friction between the wheels and the guide rails, as the robot’s wheels are made of hard plastic. Additionally, when transporting heavy goods, the wear and tear will be faster, requiring frequent maintenance, which can be costly and time-consuming.
Although the robot rental service is newly launched, Eurorack has over 13 years of experience in consulting, manufacturing, and installing storage racks nationwide. Our products are now present in companies such as Pepsico, Vinamilk, Lothamilk, Yamaha, etc. Most notably, Nestle, a major partner of Eurorack, for the Robot Shuttle rack system project.
Not only that, but we also provide Robot Shuttle maintenance services, with a quality maintenance process that meets European standards. When using this service at Eurorack, we guarantee quick and effective implementation without disrupting your supply chain.
Don’t worry if the robot encounters a severe issue that cannot be resolved promptly; we will have a support solution, providing a temporary replacement robot for you to use.
Eurorack and our team prioritize customer satisfaction as our top operating criterion. Therefore, wherever you are, whether you are using our robot rental or maintenance services, we will come to your location to meet your needs.
We are not surprised that, not just you but many others also think that each rack guide rail requires its own separate robot.
Typically, robots operate with a maximum productivity of 500-600 pallets per day, equivalent to dozens or hundreds of guide rails. It would be unrealistic for a company to equip such a large number of robots. Instead, the robots are moved from one guide rail to another with the assistance of forklifts.
Therefore, to operate a warehouse equipped with Shuttle racks, the minimum requirement is at least one robot. Depending on the warehouse size and the density of stored goods, a company may consider acquiring additional robots.
The above is all the information that Eurorack has provided about our services. We hope this article will be useful and help you identify a reliable partner to collaborate with.
