Store, buffer, sequence, replenish and
pick with the help of a single shuttle system
The Evo Shuttle 2D streamlines the logistics processes in the warehouse thanks to its ability to create precise sequences and to store stock and overstock centrally, two key features of the system and covering the following processes:
Optimized high-speed lift for systems over 30 m (98 ft)
Evo Shuttle is setting new dimensions not only for throughput, but also for system height. The new lift system can be built to a maximum height of over 30 meters, or approximately 98 feet, which provides a better use of floorspace and optimized storage capacities. The maximum speed of the lift system is now even faster, which increases the throughput of the overall system. With more than 1,000 double cycles per hour at each rack line, the lift system is elemental to the system’s overall high performance.
Evo Shuttle – as you like it
We have the right shuttle system to meet all your requirements. If you need a real powerhouse, Evo Shuttle 1D is the right choice with one shuttle per level. However, if you’re looking for more flexibility in the design of your processes, Evo Shuttle 2D is your go-to system, as these shuttles can move between the rack line systems and reach all the lifts on the level. With this approach, performance and the number of storage locations can be scaled independent of one another. In addition, our system allows items to be retrieved from the rack line system in the exact sequence required. The special system design makes efficient one-touch fulfillment a reality, with every work station being able to access every item.
Evo Shuttle 1D: High-performance ASRS for your warehouse processes
The Evo Shuttle 1D is designed to fulfill high performance requirements, as needed in online retail or the pharma sector. One shuttle runs per level and aisle, handling the storage and retrieval movements for the storage locations in that area. This approach keeps fulfillment times at their fastest and maximizes throughput in the warehouse. A high-performance pre-zone loop supplies items from storage to the connected work stations. The Evo Shuttle 1D is ideal for warehouses with a high throughput and a high inventory turnover rate.
Full performance at -28 °C (-18 °F)
When storing frozen goods, special system features are needed. Automated processes help to reduce the workload for employees at low temperatures and the short throughput times help to ensure the freshness and quality of the goods.
In a freezer warehouse, some components must be adapted to the low temperatures. Cold-resistant lubricant, for example, helps to ensure that the Evo Shuttle system can work reliably even at temperatures as low as -28 degrees Celsius, or -18 °F). The Evo Shuttle system is already being used in icy temperatures by our customer Shufersal, where it is delivering fast and straightforward order fulfillment.

More InformationLuxottica: Central distribution platform
for shipping designer glasses worldwide
Luxottica is a leading designer, manufacturer and retailer of exclusive luxury and sports eyewear and fashion. Their global business model includes supplying retailers and wholesalers and connecting them to production facilities. To meet the complex requirements of their different business models in one fully integrated logistics solution, Luxottica built an omnichannel warehouse in Sedico, Italy.
The heart of the solution is the powerful Evo Shuttle, whose 450 individual shuttles tirelessly retrieve containers from the system’s 500,000 storage locations and bring them to the downstream Pick-it-Easy work stations. Luxottica opted for the high-performance Evo Shuttle 1D variant to handle the 33,000 packages leaving their warehouse each day, which corresponds to a performance of 205,000 items per 7.5-hour shift.
Evo Shuttle 2D: Maximum flexibility
When it comes to extra flexible warehouse processes, the Evo Shuttle 2D is the best bet. Items come straight from the storage in perfect sequence, requiring no additional pre-zone. The shuttles in the system can switch aisles, allowing them to reach each lift in the system. Furthermore, the system can be expanded flexibly since the number of storage locations can be scaled separately from performance. Need higher throughput? Add more shuttles. Need more storage capacity? Add more rack lines. Without the pre-zone, this system design also has a trimmer footprint.
Get the most out of the space you have with Evo Shuttle 2D
Make the best of your available space when designing your system. The shuttle storage system is scalable in length and width and can reach heights of over 30 meters (98 ft). What’s more, the Evo Shuttle can be expanded simply by adding more shuttles or rack line systems, allowing your warehouse to grow along with your business.
Arvato: Omnichannel fulfillment for premium beauty products
As one of the leading third-party logistics providers (3PLs), Arvato uses innovative technologies to develop bespoke solutions for their B2B and B2C customers. This is exactly how we developed an automation solution for the DOUGLAS Group in Hamm, Germany, in a project focused on consolidating six warehouses into one central one that would fulfill orders for all distribution channels, supporting the DOUGLAS Group’s omnichannel strategy and facilitating continued growth.
The central feature of this omnichannel solution is the Evo Shuttle 2D. Worldwide, it’s the largest 2D shuttle solution in the cosmetics sector and offers top flexibility while making the most of the available space, storing and retrieving 12,500 containers per hour. Upon retrieval from double-deep storage, containers are transported onward for further picking. The system allows Arvato to handle significant differences in order structures and flatten peaks, making it ideal for the stringent requirements of omnichannel fulfillment in the beauty and lifestyle sector.
