Automation has transformed traditional distribution systems into the smart distribution systems (SDSs) of the future. The availability of data and remote-control capability in SDSs provides distribution operators with an opportunity to optimize system operation and control.
So, what do we mean by Automation Integration? Automation focuses on reducing or eliminating labor costs by creating a process with a single data entry. Integration, on the other hand, manages the handing off of data from one software to another. Both are integral to the efficiency of the distribution center.
The distribution center is the interface between producer and customer. Automated distribution centers offer significant advantages: they are more space-saving, flexible, resource-efficient, process secure, cost-effective, and reliable. This increases the effectiveness of distribution, even in multi-channel retailing.
ABCO Systems has been providing Material Handling Integration solutions to their customers for over 30 years allowing us to utilize our vast experience to provide our customers with a custom solution to fit their unique needs.

ABCO Systems is constantly striving to provide the most effective solution for our customers. Whether it be improving productivity, saving time, or saving space, our partner, Interlake Mecalux, has created a product that can do just that. Interlake Mecalux Pallet Shuttle Systems.
By replacing forklifts, this radio shuttle solution considerably reduces operating times and enables SKUs to be grouped by channels rather than by entire lanes. The pallet shuttle system is a great way to increase the amount of inventory you can store in your warehouse. The system works with minimal clearances between levels, which permits high-density storage. By expanding vertically, you will be able to immediately see the abundance of storage space that was always available in your current warehouse.
The pallet shuttle system comes with many advantages that will seamlessly streamline your Warehouse Management System. The pallet shuttle system saves space and time, while increasing warehouse productivity and safety. With a load lifting cycle of just 2 seconds and with a single command, the shuttle can progressively fill up or empty out an entire lane by swiftly travelling at speeds of up to 295 ft/min.
The Pallet Shuttle system offers a compact storage solution that reduces operating costs and improves supply chain performance. This intelligent warehousing system allows for quick, repetitive, in and out pallet transfers.
ADVANTAGES
Save space
Store more pallets deep, since channels can stand more than 131 ft high. The maximum verticality is determined by the handling equipment used.
The system works with minimal clearancesbetween levels, which permits high-density storage.
Built-in sensorson the shuttles help position loads intelligently, eliminating empty spaces in the storage lanes. As a result, the effective capacity of the warehouse (which considers goods flowing in and out of the warehouse) reflects its physical capacity.
Save time
Loading and unloading times are reduced, since the operator does not have to move around inside the lanes.
The shuttle can travel at speeds of 295 ft/min when empty, or 148 ft/min when loaded.
Load lifting cycle of just 2 seconds.
With just a single command, the shuttle can progressively fill or empty a whole lane.

ABCO Systems realizes the increasing pressure our customers are facing in an effort to maximize efficiency, reduce costs and streamline processes. Our goal is to provide services, products, and solutions to help your business thrive and meet your customer’s needs. With the rise in e-commerce, increasing costs, and the need to be competitive with high service expectations, ABCO Systems has partnered with Storeganizer for a solution to optimize space and decrease costs of operations within your warehouse, and increase picking efficiencies.
Optimizing the cost per square foot and organizing order picking as efficiently as possible are ongoing challenges in warehouse management. Pallet racking works well for high-volume, fast-moving items, but may lead to a big waste of space when it comes to smaller, slower moving inventory items. This is where Storeganizer comes in. This innovative, high-density storage system provides a slim fit storage solution that is ideal for small, slow moving items.
Based on a concept of vertically stacked, multi-row high quality pockets, Storeganizer limits the costs per square foot. Storeganizer is a solution designed to fit your inventory and workflow. With a wide range of sizes and options, items can be stored in various pocket dimensions. Pockets are barcoded and/or colored to minimize picking errors. Although lightweight themselves, these columns can support up to 250 pounds as standard, with a 10-year warranty.
Populating one bay in a rack, a Storeganizer is designed to accommodate small items in columns of suspended, easy-to-access vertical pockets. Storeganizer helps to optimize space; requires minimal investment as it uses existing racking; and enables quicker picking with less bending or lifting. The use of Storeganizer will not just improve the use of storage space; it will also optimize the order picking process. By streamlining this time-consuming and labor-intensive process you will earn back your modest investment in no time.
