The document outlines AS/RS shuttle capabilities that increase storage density, throughput, and order accuracy while reducing labor and facility expansion needs. It covers integration with goods-to-person stations, vertical lift configurations, and Decision Intelligence software for inventory allocation and order prioritization. Additional sections address case buffering workflows, lifecycle support services, and the Connected Distribution Center framework for data-driven automation.

Key takeaways

AS/RS shuttles store 20,000+ SKUs and deliver 30-40% higher throughput than traditional picking

Systems consume up to 40% less space and support 24- to 48-hour SLAs with 99.9% order accuracy

Momentum WES with Decision Intelligence optimizes inventory allocation and resource utilization

Integrated GTP stations and vertical lifts enable high-speed order picking and case buffering

Single-source integration reduces project risk with 24x7 support and lifecycle services
