Our HDDS technology is designed for high-throughput unit load and roll load applications. It is capable of receiving, identifying, sorting and dispatching unit loads in ambient or refrigerated/frozen environments, in existing or new facilities, including rack-supported buildings. It can be configured for staging, cross docking or picking.

It handles unit loads in both vertical and horizontal positions, with or without internal system pallets. Combined with a Warehouse Management System, it forms a value-added part of an efficient logistics operation.
