1000th SHUTTLE

Warehouse automation group, KNAPP, has received an order for the 10,000th shuttle to be supplied as part of its OSR Shuttle automated storage system. The 10,000th shuttle will from part of a solution for footwear giant, Clarks, at its new logistics centre in Hanover, Pennsylvania, USA, which will go live later this year.

KNAPP pioneered the shuttle storage concept with the launch of the OSR Shuttle system back in 2002.

The solution forms the bedrock of KNAPP's 'low-complexity warehouse' concept, which aims to reduce the number of different technologies within distribution facilities in order to minimise costs.

Since its launch, KNAPP has continued to develop the OSR Shuttle solution and the latest generation is even more powerful, cost-efficient and flexible.
