Slip Robotics demonstrated its automated trailer loading/unloading system (ATLS) at ProMat 2023. The omnidirectional robotic is designed to hold as much as 8 full pallets and a complete of 6 tons. It’s able to autonomously driving right into a tractor-trailer for transport to the following vacation spot. Three ATLS robots can match inside a typical tractor-trailer.

Fork truck operators don’t must enter the trailer and as a substitute load and unload pallets onto the Slip ATLS within the open loading dock. One of the best a part of the optimization with Slip AMR is that driver ready time will be diminished from 1.5 hours down to five minutes.

The Slip ATLS travels with the load to the vacation spot, the place it drives off the trailer, onto the dock for unloading and loading. A loaded set of ATLS robots would then drive onto the trailer for speedy departure.

The enterprise mannequin for Slip is {that a} logistics firm would have a set (of three) ATLS robots for every loading bay on their loading dock. The ATLS robots would swap out as every new trailer arrives. Then the dock employees would unload the complete pallets and reload the ATLS with the following trailer load of pallets.
