…CC1 leverages Internet of Things (IoT) technology — using elevators to move around floors in a building — as well as for connected devices like access controls and e-gates that make it possible to pass through a building automatically. The PUDU CC1 can work with motion sensors that track the volume of people entering a space and dispatch the robot for cleaning only if there is a need for it otherwise skip a task if not needed anymore. This approach to cleaning can significantly reduce the cost of machine wear, water, and cleaning agents for property managers. Designed with sustainability…

…shuttles dedicated to specific aisles and a series of elevators and conveyors that help move goods between multiple levels in an aisle and eventually get them to warehouse associates. This complexity puts stringent limitations on the system, especially when it comes to the flexibility of the ASRS. For instance, scaling a shuttle system could involve significant modifications to the existing infrastructure, costing time and money, said the company. In addition, if a single point of this system fails—such as an elevator—then a large portion of inventory could become inaccessible for a long period of time, it noted. Making things easy…
