Automation of handling process is an increasing attractive option for many companies, Toyota Material Handling Europe offers three unique concepts in automated material handling; BT Autopilot. BT Radioshuttle, BT AOP (Automated Order Picking).

BT Autopilot is a simple driverless operation for repetitive movement of goods. Laser guidance and Teach-In technology make Autopilot a cost-effective solution for applications where similar journeys are made repetitively. Autopilot can increase efficiency and save money by transporting goods between production lines and storage areas, or between conveyor systems. 

The new  BT Radioshuttle offers a radical solution for high-density bulk storage of goods. With Radioshuttle, electronically powered load carriers transport goods in and out of storage tunnels within specially designed racking. This allows extremely cost-effective use of expensive warehouse space, particularly in temperature-controlled operations.

 

The new BT AOP is built on a standard truck with added automation features. The BT AOP helps eliminate the wasted labour time traditionally involved in order picking – driving to and from despatch areas and taking care of battery charging – is allowing increases in productivity of up to 40% in pilot installations.
