Murata Machinery USA, Inc. today announced the North American launch of their New
Uni-SHUTTLE HP automated storage and retrieval system.

The Uni-SHUTTLE HP is a high performance automated storage/retrieval system
designed to provide best-in-class capacity and performance through a combination of
flexible storage functions, high capacity transport and sorting capabilities.
Uni-SHUTTLE HP is a new solution that pursues “maximum logistics throughput” in
terms of both productivity and quality.

System characteristics:
 3,000 cases/hour through rapid continuous storage and retrieval
 400m/min shuttle travel speeds running independently on each level
 Highly efficient and flexible system configurations
 Ability to handle a variety of load sizes, shapes or types
 Automatic sequencing of loads prior to or during retrieval
 Just-in-time continuous retrieval

The requirements for handling various load sizes, high throughput, just-in- time
operations, small lot production, and same day delivery, drive the need for new
technology. Retaining operators in this difficult era of recruiting workers also demands
new ideas in automation. Uni-SHUTTLE HP is the solution to these challenges.
