Ŝharko Robotic Pallet Transport
Intelligent and fully autonomous transportation of pallets, trollies and cages
High capabilities in a compact design
The Ŝharko autonomous robotic pallet mover solution is especially designed to support the transport of goods and raw materials in production locations and warehouse environments.
Many of the horizontal transport tasks that are currently executed by manned vehicles and equipment can be performed with these highly intelligent robots.
Ŝharko’s ultra manoeuvrability make them highly suitable for performing tasks in small and narrow areas, while their small footprint and low height, allows for using optimal routes when both loaded and empty.
Why invest in a robotic pallet mover solution?
IMPROVED EFFICIENCY
The Ŝharko robotic pallet mover can run around the clock, significantly increasing the throughput of intralogistics operations. Optimised driving routes reduce transport time, serving to minimise bottlenecks and improving overall workflow efficiency.
ENHANCED SAFETY
By automating the movement of heavy pallets, a robotic pallet mover reduces the risk of injuries related to manual handling. They are equipped with sensors and safety features that enable them to navigate environments safely, avoiding obstacles, personnel, and other equipment.
SCALABILITY
The Ŝharko robotic pallet mover is designed to be highly scalable, allowing users to adjust their operations based on demand. Moreover, the robots can be reprogrammed and adapted to new layouts or operational needs, providing long-term value despite changes in product lines or storage strategies.
COMPELLING ROI
The Ŝharko solution reduces the need for manual labour, especially during peak periods. The efficiency gains from using a robotic pallet mover solution can also lead to reduced energy costs, lower inventory carrying costs, and optimised space utilisation, all contributing to a healthier bottom line.

FAQs About Robotic Pallet Transportation
What is a robotic pallet transportation solution?
A robotic pallet transportation solution refers to an automated system that uses robots to transport various payloads within a warehouse, distribution centre, or manufacturing facility. These solutions optimise workflows, improve safety, and increase efficiency by automating the movement of goods.
How does robotic pallet transportation improve warehouse efficiency?
Robotic pallet transport systems streamline warehouse operations by automating the movement of goods, reducing manual handling, minimising errors, and ensuring faster and more reliable transportation of products within the facility.
Can robotic pallet transporters integrate with existing warehouse management systems (WMS)?
Yes, modern robotic pallet transportation solutions such as Ŝharko are designed to seamlessly integrate with existing Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), allowing for smooth communication and coordination between automated equipment and the broader warehouse operations.
What types of goods can be transported using robotic pallet systems?
Robotic pallet systems are versatile and can transport a wide range of goods, including boxed items, containers, and individual products, provided they are securely placed on pallets or in roll cages or portable racks. In the case of Ŝharko, custom solutions can be developed for specific industry needs or product types.
Are robotic pallet transportation solutions safe for use in a workforce environment?
Safety is a top priority in the design of robotic pallet transportation systems like Ŝharko. These robots are equipped with sensors and safety features to detect obstacles, prevent collisions, and ensure the safety of workers, goods and other machines in the vicinity.
How do I choose the right robotic pallet transportation solution for my business?
Choosing the right solution involves assessing your specific needs, including the types of goods to be transported, the volume of goods, site layout, and any unique operational requirements. Consultation with an AMR Integration Company like RAWview will help identify the most suitable options.
What is the ROI of investing in robotic pallet transportation?
The ROI of robotic pallet transportation systems varies based on several factors, including the scale of operations, the existing (inta)logistics setup, and how extensively the technology is used. Generally, businesses realise a significant reduction in operational costs, improved efficiency, and reduced labour dependence, leading to a compelling ROI.
How does the implementation of robotic pallet transportation impact workforce employment?
Whilst it’s true that robotic pallet systems automate certain manual tasks, they also create opportunities for upskilling the workforce and redeploying the labour and machinery resource to more value-added activities that can’t be so easily automated.
Will I need to make changes to our site to accommodate a robotic pallet transportation solution?
No. All navigation is carried out by the AMRs’ on-board navigation system, which is pre-programmed with a digital twin of the environment. As a result, deployment of the Ŝharko solution can be achieved without any modifications to the site’s physical layout whatsoever.
Can robotic pallet transporters operate 24/7?
Yes, one of the major advantages of robotic pallet transporters is their ability to operate continuously, 24/7, with minimal downtime. This capability significantly increases productivity, especially in high-demand or peak seasons.
How quickly can a robotic pallet transportation system be implemented in an existing warehouse?
The implementation timeline varies based on the complexity of the use case, the size of the warehouse, and the degree of customisation that is required to meet the project scope. Typically, basic installations can be completed in a few weeks, while highly complex integrations may take several months.
What is the future of robotic pallet transportation technology?
The future of robotic pallet transportation includes advancements in AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning), improved sensor technology, and greater interoperability with other automated systems. These developments will further enhance navigation, decision-making, and the overall efficiency of robotic pallet transportation, making them even more integral to modern intralogistics strategies.
