Using Mecanum Wheels for Radio Shuttle

Automation of production is inextricably linked with automation of warehouse systems. This is especially clear when applying the Industry 4.0 concept, since we see a clear development of the Warehouse 4.0 concept. This paper examines in detail the existing designs of the Radio Shuttle, as well as their areas of application. However, there are many limitations associated with the design features of these devices. We consider the main limitation to be low flexibility, as well as the inability to move in different directions. To solve this problem, the authors propose to use Mecanum wheels, which eliminate the problem of the impossibility of moving in the desired, that is, optimal, direction.
