Brings the shelf to the picker. Eliminates travel time entirely. PES-orchestrated, Arctic-rated to −20°F, no floor modifications required.
Picker Travel Distance
Arctic Series Rated
Navigation — No Floor Tape
Platform — All Environments
MobileShelf navigates beneath a shelving unit, lifts it, and carries it to a fixed picker station. The picker never moves. PES queues the next shelf before the current pick is complete — no gaps, no idle time, no travel.
The same navigation architecture as the MobilePallet AMR. SLAM builds and maintains a live map of the floor; QR codes at picker stations deliver sub-centimeter docking precision. Reconfigure the floor layout in PES software — no construction, no downtime.
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping. The robot builds its own floor map and updates it dynamically as the environment changes.
Floor-mounted QR codes at docking points provide absolute position correction for precision alignment at the picker station.
In a conventional pick operation, pickers travel 8–10 miles per shift. That travel produces zero output. MobileShelf eliminates it entirely — the robot does the walking. The picker stands at a fixed station and picks continuously. PES sequences shelves so the next one arrives before the current pick is complete.
Pickers walk the warehouse to find each item. Travel distance accumulates across thousands of daily picks — producing zero throughput.
per picker, per shift — walking
PES queues shelves automatically. The picker stands still and picks. No travel. No decision-making. No idle gaps between shelves.
picker travel — per shift, per station
The Arctic Series is the MobileShelf configured for cold storage operations. Freezer-rated battery chemistry, sealed electronics, and cold-environment lubrication. The same PES instance manages your ambient and freezer fleets simultaneously — no separate software, no separate operator console.

Manages ambient + Arctic fleet together
PES manages every shelf assignment, picker station queue, and robot path in real time — across the entire fleet. It knows which shelves are needed, which robots are available, and which stations are ready. Robots don’t wait for instructions. Pickers don’t wait for shelves.
PES receives the order, identifies the required shelf, and dispatches the nearest available robot. No manual queue management.
PES sequences the next shelf to arrive before the current pick is complete. Continuous flow — no gaps between picks, no picker idle time.
Real-time path planning across the full robot fleet. MobileShelf AMRs, MobilePallet AMRs, and RackBot shuttles share the floor without collisions.
MobileShelf runs alongside MobilePallet AMRs and RackBot pallet shuttles under the same PES instance. One software platform orchestrates all of it. One team to call when something needs to change.
