Since the debut of the Orbiter Shuttle System, in the summer of 2009, SSI Schaefer has acclaimed international success for this revolutionary piece of warehouse technology. An independent industry jury awarded the SSI Schaefer Orbiter System the "Suisse IVS Innovation Award 2010" using the criteria of uniqueness, marketability, degree of innovation, and environmental/resource optimization. The Orbiter System was also chosen among hundreds of highly qualified applicants for the "2010 Industrial Prize" at the Hannover Trade Fair in April of 2010.
These international awards recognize the newest development in the SSI Schaefer storage product line. The Orbiter Shuttle System sets a whole new global standard for pallet storage solutions. Not only is it setting new standards, it is a unique system regarding safety, efficiency and productivity. The innovation is in the power caps. The Orbiter Shuttle System is not battery driven; it is equipped with state-of-the-art, maintenance-free, power caps, similar to those used in Formula One racing.
This revolutionary product has sparked great interest in the marketplace. Companies including Pepsi Cola India, LGI (a German 3PL service provider), and Boots (a drug store chain in the UK), have to decided to use this modern piece of technology. Benno Reichmuth, Director of Dynamic Storage Systems at SSI Schaefer Switzerland, states that "the Orbiter Shuttle System is a simple pallet channel storage solution for highly efficient order picking processes with a low degree of automation and an easily justifiable investment."
Many years of experience, innovative developments and a continuous evaluation of customer and market needs allow the material handling expert, SSI Schaefer, to offer solutions that not only meet, but exceed the industry's demand for economic efficiency and non-environmental impact. These factors prove the Schaefer Group's capabilities and innovative strength compared to competing manufacturers.
