A curved stacker is a highly developed special form of stacker (RGB), which can not only drive straight ahead, but also go through curves and thus change lanes.
In contrast to an aisle bound RGB, this device has a special chassis and a controller that allow you to change lanes via switches. As a result, a single device can serve multiple warehouse lanes, which maximizes utilization.
This technology is suitable for warehouses with medium throughput, where an RGB per lane would be uneconomical. It combines high storage density with the flexibility to serve multiple lanes.
The main advantage is the reduction of investment costs, as fewer devices are required. This results in high efficiency combined with full automation and high use of space.
