The Goods-To-Person (GTP) Shuttle System is a type of automated material handling system used in warehouses and distribution centers. It is designed to optimize the movement of goods by bringing the items directly to the operator or picker, rather than having the operator walk or travel to retrieve the items. The Goods-To-Person Shuttle System is an automated solution that streamlines order fulfillment processes and enhances warehouse efficiency by bringing the goods directly to the operator, improving productivity and reducing operational costs.

In a Goods-To-Person Shuttle System, items or bins are stored in racking systems or shelves. A fleet of robotic shuttles or automated vehicles is responsible for retrieving and delivering the requested items to the designated workstations or picking stations. The shuttles navigate through designated paths or tracks within the racking system to efficiently transport the goods.

Operators or pickers typically work at ergonomic workstations or stations equipped with displays or pick-to-light systems. When an order is received, the system identifies the required items and instructs the shuttles to retrieve the corresponding bins. The shuttles then transport the bins to the designated workstations, where the operator picks the required items for order fulfillment.

The Goods-To-Person Shuttle System offers several advantages, including increased picking accuracy, improved productivity, reduced operator fatigue, and optimized space utilization. By eliminating the need for operators to travel long distances within the warehouse, it minimizes walking time and allows for more efficient order processing.
