HOUSEI Introduces OmniXuttle: A State-of-the-Art Warehouse Solution Optimized for Japan

Omnixuttle: The Next Frontier in Warehouse Automation

In response to Japan's booming e-commerce market and an ever-growing labor shortage, HOUSEI Corporation has taken a significant step forward by introducing an advanced warehouse automation solution - the OmniXuttle. This four-way pallet shuttle has been specifically optimized for the Japanese logistics market, providing a reliable and efficient means for handling cargo in smart warehouses.

The Genesis of OmniXuttle

HOUSEI, a pioneer in AI and digital transformation solutions, has always focused on enhancing logistics efficiency. The company leveraged its robust IT expertise and a solid support system in Japan to collaborate with GLOBL PTR, a leading Chinese company specializing in automated warehouse solutions based in Shanghai. GLOBL PTR holds a dominant market share of 40-50% in the four-way pallet shuttle segment in China and has executed over 700 projects worldwide. To enhance warehouse performance, HOUSEI and GLOBL PTR have perfected the OmniXuttle, ensuring it meets the unique requirements of the Japanese market.

Features of OmniXuttle

1. Versatile Mobility

OmniXuttle offers exceptional four-way movement capabilities. This feature allows for high-density storage and efficient cargo handling, and when combined with vertical conveyors, it can facilitate movement between different levels of a warehouse effortlessly.

2. Enhanced Space Utilization

Compared to traditional stacker crane methods, OmniXuttle achieves an impressive cargo space efficiency of 1.5 to 2.5 times, optimizing the storage area dramatically. This makes it a powerful tool for businesses looking to maximize their logistics capabilities.

3. Heavy-Duty Performance

The shuttle is built to handle a maximum payload of four tons and supports a range of pallet sizes, accommodating various dimensions including Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS).

4. High Accuracy and Stability

With a stopping precision of ±2mm and an array of sensors, OmniXuttle guarantees safe and accurate transport operations. Remote monitoring features ensure continuous operational stability, minimizing the risk of downtime.

5. Environmentally Adaptable

The design of OmniXuttle can withstand temperature variations between -25℃ to 45℃, making it suitable for diverse environments—from cold storage to humid climates.

The Smart Warehouse System

The OmniXuttle is a core component of HOUSEI's broader Smart Warehouse System, which integrates advanced technologies offered by GLOBL PTR tailored for the Japanese logistics framework. The system boasts a 3D real-time monitoring platform, SCADA, that visualizes operational status within the warehouse, provides anomaly detection, and connects seamlessly with ERP/MES systems for advanced warehouse management.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, HOUSEI is poised to deepen its partnerships to accelerate digital transformation in logistics throughout Japan. This includes not just product development and support for implementation but also comprehensive project management and consulting services, ensuring clients receive holistic solutions tailored to their needs.

Upcoming Event

HOUSEI will participate in the International Logistics General Exhibition 2025, set to take place from September 10-12, where they will display the Smart Warehouse System along with other innovative products such as the robot control system and the AI facial recognition terminal, WelcomID. A seminar featuring the topic 'Digital Twin x Four-Way Shuttle: HOUSEI's Next-Gen Smart Warehouse Solutions' is scheduled for September 12.
