Bulldog Shuttles In-Motion
Induction, Delivery and Retrieval
Measuring, weighing and scanning each pallet at induction is highly important to ensure loads are properly sized and confirmed. Each in-coming pallet ID is scanned for automatic induction and put away. A shuttle is then sent a pick up task. Once the load is picked up by the shuttle, autonomous pathing routes the shuttle for put away.
Autonomous Charging
Bulldog 4-Way Shuttles include automatic battery charging so maintenance personnel do not have to manually change or charge batteries. The Electronic Control System (ECS) monitors state of charge and when a battery reaches a preset discharge level, the system routes the shuttle to a charging station for a 2-3 hour re-charge.

Frequently Asked Questions
4-Way Shuttles can be used for any type of warehouse storage, selective racking, double deep, pushback, pallet flow and drive in racking can all be replaced by 4-Way Autonomous Systems.
A Semi Automatic Shuttle has to be moved from lane to lane and a fully Automatic Shuttle travels autonomously lane to lane and level to level reducing redundant forklift travel and long term shuttle damage. The inventory for a semi automated shuttle is managed by the forklift operator and the fully automatic system manages the inventory automatically.
A Bulldog Shuttle system is typically slightly more expensive than Push Back and Pallet Flow racking. However, shuttle systems greatly reduce redundant forklift needs and labor costs, so long term could cost of ownership is much lower.
Bulldog 4-Way shuttle systems are powered by MOVE-IT a robust WMS (Warehouse Management System) and ECS (Electronic Control System). The WMS manages inventory and put-away rules and the ECS manages shuttle deployment, pathing and maintenance monitoring. The system is provided as a SaaS (Software as a Service) cloud based model. The system can interface with any WMS or ERP system and be used as a stand alone robotics system for controlling both Shuttles and AGVs.
