The DUOSYS is a high throughput mini load AS/RS, which effectively sorts and groups items. DUOSYS allows two storage retrieval machine stacker cranes to function in the same aisle and move past each other without interference. The system features a throughput of up to 2,200 cases per hour – that’s six times higher than conventional sorting systems with the same footprint.
