Quicktron Robotics QuickMix goods-handling technologies

Quicktron Robotics has launched the QuickMix suite of intralogistics innovations for Australia. It includes a full suite of integrated goods-handling technologies including G2P systems, QuickBin+, QuickBin Ultra, QuickCube and Mixed Picking Workstations. The company’s QuickMix hybrid solution combines tote-to-person, shelf-to-person, pallet-to-person, high-density storage and flexible transport into a single robot control system platform.

Designed for multi-robot collaboration, the benefits include: multi-scenario integration (where one warehouse can seamlessly support piece picking, full case handling and full pallet handling); unified system architecture (where a single RCS orchestrates multiple device types and interfaces with upstream business systems for end-to-end automation); scalability with a modular design that allows future expansion as operations grow; cost–efficiency balance: and maximum storage density and throughput while controlling operating costs within a limited space.

Within its pallet-level end-to-end automation platform, QuickCube, conventional lifts are replaced with compact lifts (two-direction) embedded directly into rack rails, working in tandem with the company’s self-developed four-way shuttle bots to achieve dense pallet storage. By removing the bottom rack level, QuickCube can also integrate a G2P shelf-to-person system. 

As a high-throughput vertical tote-handling system capable of up to 3 m/s vertical lift speed, QuickBin Ultra pairs the bin pickers’ A5 high-speed picking vehicle (200 picks/h) with the bin movers’ M5F/M5E single- or double-fork tote movers (4.5 m/s linear speed). Leveraging efficiencies between big and small robots, a single workstation can reach 600 totes/h outbound throughput.

In addition, certain QuickBin Ultra zones can merge with existing QuickBin systems (C56 and M5F) to plan mixed G2P shelf-to-person picking beneath tote racks or connect directly from Ultra’s bin pickers to conveyor lines for tote outbound picking.
