Warehouse logistics in transition: key challenges for 3PL
Shuttle-based warehouse automation
Planning uncertainty and short contract periods
Short-term contracts make investment decisions harder, hinder planning, and increase financial risk.
Diverse customers and complex requirements
Different products, packaging, and service levels mean high complexity and a higher risk of errors.
Volume fluctuations and seasonality
Promotions, peaks, and new customers cause unpredictable utilization. The result: bottlenecks, inefficiency, and missed business opportunities.
Space constraints in existing buildings
Limited storage and costly renovation options in existing buildings reduce utilization and profitability.
Labor shortages and rising wage costs
Lack of skilled workers and higher requirements for efficiency and process security are driving up costs.
Technical progress and future-proofing
Many systems stagnate after launch and are difficult to adapt. This blocks scaling and future requirements.
Shuttle solution for 3PL: Ready for tomorrow’s warehouse logistics?
In contract logistics, adaptability, scalability, and process reliability are key. That’s exactly what the shuttle-based automation solution from advasolutions is built for. It delivers high performance in a small space, plus the flexibility needed to keep processes efficient, remain future-proof, and grow sustainably.
The shuttle system at a glance
The automated warehouse system from advasolutions is built on several coordinated components: autonomous advaShuttles transport goods of different sizes, packaging, and shapes within robust, mechanical advaRacks—moving horizontally, vertically, and laterally.
The modular racking system with integrated tracks does away with fragile lifting or elevator systems, making everything much more reliable. Each storage level (advaShelf) offers optimal capacity for items up to 800 x 400 x 200 mm (LxWxH) and up to 20 kg, handling single items and various load carriers. For fast, reliable shuttle transport between levels, robust advaLifts are used.
Digital intelligence for transparent logistics processes
Automation starts at goods-in: advaInbound records product info such as size, weight, and shape with precise 3D scanning and real-time data capture. advaOutbound, at the other end, ensures fast, structured picking and shipping.
All goods movements are managed and monitored by a digital twin—the Warehouse Execution System (WES). This AI-powered software optimizes all workflows and enables seamless integration with existing WMS and ERP systems.
Made for 3PL
Our automation solution reduces manual labor, accelerates workflows, and minimizes errors—even with complex SKU profiles and frequent client turnover. The modular system architecture makes it easy to adapt to changing requirements. Shuttles and racks can be expanded as needed. New customers can be integrated faster, peak volumes handled more flexibly, and floor space used more economically.
Automated goods-in with 3D scanning and digital documentation ensures smooth, transparent workflows and complete traceability. The modular architecture also enables easy integration with existing logistics infrastructures. With advasolutions, you ensure a stable and future-proof operation.
