Tote load/unload stations

Modular tote handling system for BITO Storage Systems

Tote Load/Unload System design

To develop modular tote load/unload stations able to handle totes up to 50 KG. The system was required to interface with an existing automatic tote picking system.

After close consultation with the customer to understand the interface between the tote picking system, Unifabs proposed a specification for the system, and subsequent concept and full manufacturing drawings. A prototype bay was manufactured and performance tested. 

The customer was very happy with the installation which fully fulfilled their brief and 130 stations were manufactured in total.

Our industrial design team utilises their cross industry expertise to produce full concept designs to meet exacting requirements.
