The Swisslog CarryStar system is an automated order fulfillment solution that combines Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs), KUKA robots and the Swisslog SynQ software for optimum efficiency, flexibility, reliability and sustainability.
The fully automated process starts with a pallet infeed station from which KUKA automated vehicles receive the pallets and transport them to buffer positions or to the picking area around a KUKA robot. The Star Robot module is designed to pick layers, stacks or individual crates to create rainbow or base pallets to fulfill the orders. Once an order pallet is complete, the KUKA automated vehicles transport them to the pallet wrapper, where they are wrapped and labeled before they reach the dispatching area.
