The 2D-Shuttle is the most advanced and efficient shuttle that Logiqs has ever made.
The 2D-Shuttle is a unique greenhouse automation solution, which is designed and built by Logiqs. This system is unmatched in its modular design, that allows for a flexible and scalable system.
At the core of the system stand two components: the 2D-Shuttle and the A-Track Transport Line.
The 2D-Shuttle is a semi-autonomous vehicle that rides underneath the rolling benches, using the heating pipes as rails.
Using it’s grabbing mechanisms and sensors the 2D-Shuttle can move the individual rolling benches conforming to the transport tasks assigned by the grower using the Dat-A-Control Software.
The 2D-Shuttle can also switch rows independent of other machines.
The A-Track transport lines ensure bench movements between rows and connects the growing area to the work area.
Each individual A-Track Transport Line section is powered by just one drive unit, using two speeds: a fast one for normal bench movements and a slow one for precise positioning of the bench on the lifting frame.
In order to be able to move between rows, the 2D-Shuttle makes use of a X-Rail which usually spans the whole length of the growing area.
The X-Rail is designed using standardized parts, helping keep the initial deployment costs for the 2D-Shuttle system low.
