The cutting-edge radio shuttle
Meaning ‘ant’ in Arabic, Namla is inspired by the natural intelligent system employed by nature’s tiny creatures – ants, who diligently carry items from one place to another.
Navin Narayan, CEO of Acme Intralog remarked that the new generation Radio Shuttle can drastically improve pallet storage density for standard pallets of up to 1,500 kg. “Namla is hundred percent made in the UAE by Acme. It is the only robotic Radio Shuttle that is locally manufactured in the country, and I am proud of this pioneering initiative by our team.”
Narayan added that customised options for specific needs and higher load requirements are available on request. “Namla improves productivity as well as safety of operations in a high-density distribution center.”
Why it could be a game-changer
The semi-automated system can be handled by forklift in a customised rack. Namla can be operated remotely with an industrial-grade touch panel that allows for quick task management. The Li-ion battery is designed to last through a typical shift operation of a distribution centre for a minimum of eight hours. The batteries are easily interchangeable for continuous operation.
Acme also offers a Namla polar edition, which operates safely in harsh temperatures and can be deployed by the cold storage industry, operating safely between -30 to + 40 degrees.
Narayan stated that the company has seen a great response for Namla from clients and is currently looking for regional distributors and integrators for its Radio Shuttle.
