About Moffett Automation Create or Log in to My Show Planner to see Description . Moffett's inception in 2017 marked the beginning of a new chapter in material handling solutions. Despite our relatively short history, Moffett Automation has swiftly gained recognition for its forward-thinking approach and dedication to pushing the boundaries of what's achievable in automated pallet storage. Moffett Automation specialises in designing, manufacturing, and installing fully automated pallet storage systems using the Moffett Taxi Technology. The Moffett AS/R system is a sophisticated material handling solution designed for efficient and automated storage and retrieval of palletised goods in warehouses or distribution centres. This system utilises advanced technology, including robotic shuttles, to optimise the handling of pallets within a storage environment. Here is a detailed description of the key features and functionalities of such a system: • Moffett Taxi: The system employs autonomous robotic shuttles that can move in multiple directions within the storage racks, including between levels. These shuttles are equipped with sensors, cameras, and other navigation technologies to ensure precise and safe movement within the storage structure. • Operating Temperature: The Moffett Taxi is capable of operating in temperatures of -27°C - +50°C. • Multi-Directional Movement: Unlike traditional automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) that move along a single axis, multi-directional shuttles can navigate in various directions—forward, backwards, left, and right, up, and down. • This multi-directional capability allows for greater flexibility in accessing pallets stored in different locations within the racks. High-Density Storage: One of the primary advantages of a multi-directional shuttle system is its ability to achieve high-density storage. The taxis can access and store pallets in dense configurations, optimising the use of available space in the warehouse. • Automated Control System: The entire shuttle system is integrated with a sophisticated control system that is developed in-house by Moffett Software developers. This system manages the movements of individual shuttles, coordinates storage and retrieval tasks, and ensures overall system efficiency. The control system may be interfaced with a warehouse management system (WMS) for seamless integration into the broader logistics and inventory management processes. • Energy Efficiency: The Moffett AS/R System is designed with energy efficiency in mind. The shuttles use advanced battery management systems and work on an opportunity charging process to ensure the most efficient output. • Scalability: The system is often designed to be scalable, allowing businesses to expand their automated storage capacity as needed. Additional taxis can be added to the system to accommodate growing storage requirements. • Reliability and Redundancy: To ensure continuous operation, the system is designed with reliability in mind. Redundancy features are incorporated to minimise downtime in the event of a component failure.
