Der Ace ist der Roboter im Gridstore-System, der die Behälter im Grid bewegt. Er fährt auf den Schienen des Grids, hebt Behälter an, transportiert sie zu Arbeitsplätzen und stellt sie wieder ab. So ermöglicht der Ace eine effiziente, automatisierte Kommissionierung nach dem Ware-zu-Person-Prinzip.

Der Lagerroboter Ace ist flexibel und vielseitig einsetzbar – ob als Einzelroboter oder im Zusammenspiel mit weiteren Einheiten. Dank seiner Fähigkeit, auf jeden Behälter (link) im Grid (Link) zuzugreifen, kann er Behälter gezielt umgraben und an den gewünschten Arbeitsplatz transportieren. Gleichzeitig übernimmt Ace auch die Einlagerung neuer Behälter und platziert diese effizient im System. So ermöglicht er eine dynamische Ein- und Auslagerung sowie eine präzise Bereitstellung für die Kommissionierung (Link). Diese autonome Arbeitsweise reduziert Ausfallzeiten auf ein Minimum und sorgt dafür, dass Ihre Ware-zu-Mann (Link) Kommissionierung jederzeit reibungslos ablaufen.

Die intelligente Steuerung durch unser übergeordnetes Lagerverwaltungssystem (Link) Grid-Control optimiert die Routenführung und sorgt so für einen effizienten Ablauf zu jedem Zeitpunkt. Ace nutzt dabei gezielt die vorhandenen Transportwege, um Behälter schnell und zuverlässig ein- und auszulagern.
Dabei arbeitet der Roboter autonom oder in der Flotte, und ermöglicht eine konstant hohe Systemleistung. So gewährleistet der Ace eine hohe Bestandssicherheit und eine präzise, termingerechte Bereitstellung der Waren.
Dank des Plug & Play-Designs kann das System jederzeit erweitert werden, indem zusätzliche Ace-Lagerroboter schnell integriert werden. So lässt sich die Leistung flexibel an wachsende Anforderungen, veränderte Geschäftsprozesse oder steigenden Absatz anpassen.

The Ace is the robot in the Gridstore system that moves the bins in the grid. It travels along the rails of the grid, lifts bins, transports them to workstations and sets them down again. The Ace thus enables efficient, automated picking per the goods-to-person principle.

The Ace warehouse robot is flexible and versatile - whether as a stand-alone robot or in combination with other units. Thanks to its ability to access every bin in the grid, it can "unearth" bins and transport them to the desired workstation. At the same time, Ace also takes over the storage of new bins, placing them efficiently in the system.

Ace enables dynamic storage and retrieval as well as precise provision for order picking. This autonomous mode of operation minimises downtime and ensures that your goods-to-person picking runs smoothly at all times.

 

Efficient warehouse management with the Ace robot and Grid Control

The intelligent Grid-Control system optimises route guidance and thus ensures an efficient process at all times. Ace makes targeted use of the existing transport routes to store and retrieve bins quickly and reliably.

The robot works autonomously or in the fleet, and enables consistently high system performance. In this way, the Ace guarantees a high level of stock reliability and precise, punctual provision of goods.

Thanks to the plug & play function, the system can be expanded at any time by quickly integrating additional Ace warehouse robots. This means that performance can be flexibly adapted to growing requirements, changing business processes or increasing sales.

Energy efficiency through PowerCaps

Continuous operation without long charging times

Thanks to its efficient charging concept, Ace remains ready for use around the clock. Instead of standing at a charging station for several hours, it recharges automatically when lifting and lowering the bins at the workstations. This allows the robot to remain in operation 24/7 and continuously ensure a smooth material flow.

The PowerCaps used enable over 1 million charging cycles and have a service life of around 20 years. This ensures a reliable power supply - without long downtimes or complex charging processes.

 

Flexible use

for all container sizes and grid designs

As a warehouse robot, Ace is fully compatible with all container sizes and various grid layouts within the Gridstore system. This flexibility means that Ace can be seamlessly integrated into different warehouse configurations, making it an ideal solution for warehouses with complex and changing requirements.

Thanks to its sophisticated design, Ace can efficiently handle both heavy, large containers and smaller, lighter units. It is designed for the precise storage and retrieval of all system containers and ensures reliable order picking.

 

Speed and precision

enable efficient order picking

With high speed and precise navigation, Ace moves containers through the Gridstore system, thereby speeding up all warehouse processes. With rapid changes of direction, reduced lifting times and optimised handling, it transports containers between storage locations and workstations in the shortest possible time. This ensures a consistent flow of materials and high throughput – even with a high volume of orders. This efficiency makes it possible to minimise response times, process orders swiftly and maintain overall warehouse operations without delays. Ace thus not only increases picking speed but also ensures efficient warehouse automation with maximum container throughput.

Frequently asked questions about our bins

 

How fast does the Ace warehouse robot move in the system?

Ace is specially designed for high speed and precise movements. Bins can be transported to the desired workstation in the shortest possible time, which speeds up order processing considerably. The Ace moves with you:

  • Speed: up to 3.1 m/s
  • Acceleration: up to 0.8 m/s²


How long does it take to charge the Ace warehouse robot?

Ace is continuously charged during the lifting and lowering process at the workstations while it remains there for 5-10 seconds. These partial charging processes ensure that it remains in continuous operation and does not require longer charging breaks.

Only when the energy level is fully depleted does Ace require a complete charge of 60 seconds, which means it can then drive for up to 30 minutes. This intelligent charging system enables continuous operation without long downtimes.


Is the Ace warehouse robot compatible with all Gridstore bin sizes??

Yes, the Ace warehouse robot is fully compatible with all bin sizes and grid designs in the Gridstore system and has been specifically designed to handle them.


How many Ace warehouse robots can I use in the system at the same time?

The Gridstore system supports the use of several Ace warehouse robots, which work together efficiently thanks to the routing software. The number of robots can be scaled flexibly and depends on the size of the grid and the desired system performance in order to utilise the capacity of the warehouse. 

As Ace is delivered to the construction site as a plug & play solution, additional robots can be quickly integrated at any time in order to react flexibly to growing requirements, increasing sales or changing business processes.

What safety precautions does the Ace warehouse robot offer?

The Ace is equipped with the latest technology to ensure safe and reliable movements in the warehouse. PowerCaps technology also significantly reduces fire risks compared to conventional lead-acid and lithium batteries. Ace is also equipped with an aerosol extinguishing capsule that is automatically activated in the event of overheating, thus ensuring additional safety. 

Can the Ace warehouse robot work independently or is a team required?

Ace is fully capable both as an individual robot and as part of a team. Each robot can work independently and access any bin, which offers unbeatable flexibility.
