Connecting places outside a Robot's reach to the AutoStore™ Grid
Vertically Connected
In some AutoStore™ configurations, Grids are installed on one floor with picking on another to optimize the use of existing space. The SwingPort workstation provides the reach needed to support this design.
The SwingPort extends Bin reachability to points inaccessible to the Robots, moving Bins from one floor to another. Using two rotating arms to move Bins, one Bin is presented to the operator while the second Bin is in a waiting position on the opposite side.
Reliability
A Million Tests
A swing movement with two Bin buckets is technically balanced and with reduced complexity for smooth operations. The movement and technical solution have been refined and tested several million times, both at AutoStore labs and at live installations.

Usability
Human Friendly
With an exchange time of 3 seconds, SwingPort users remain busy throughout the workday. User safety and comfort have all been taken into consideration to create an ergonomic and ideal work environment. The Bin opening is shielded with a hatch to provide high safety and noise reduction.

SwingPorts need at least two cells between each other, both in the x and y direction. When they are placed two cells apart in the x direction, they must be facing opposite directions to leave space for the picker.
Yes, changes of a transferred task or task groups to AutoStore are possible, but each may have a later negative influence on the speed and efficiency of the system, as the system may already have used robot resources to prepare the Bin.
