The Next Generation in
Automated Pallet Storage
How the System Works
The Moffett Automation system is a software-driven automated pallet storage solution designed to improve warehouse capacity, throughput and operational control.
The system combines free-roaming pallet shuttles, vertical transfer units, conveyors, high-tolerance racking and warehouse control software to move pallets safely and efficiently through storage, picking, buffering and dispatch.
Each pallet is checked for size and quality before entering the system, then directed to the most appropriate storage location based on operational rules, stock requirements and system availability. Pallets can move horizontally, vertically and in depth, allowing dense storage layouts without sacrificing access or flexibility.
The system is designed around each customer’s building, pallet profile, throughput targets and future growth plans. It can support order picking, peak-load management, remote monitoring, WMS/ERP integration and scalable expansion as operational requirements change.
Moffett Automation Taxi

The Moffett Automation Taxi is a fully electric pallet shuttle designed and manufactured in-house. Powered by a lithium 100Ah battery with automatic opportunity charging, it moves pallets through the storage system at up to 1.8m/s. Regenerative braking, meshed Wi-Fi communication and robust control logic support reliable operation in ambient, chilled and demanding warehouse environments.
Moffett Automation VTU

Moffett Automation vertical transfer units allow Taxis to move between storage levels and access pallet locations across multi-level automated storage systems. Each system is designed with the required number of VTUs to support target throughput, reliable pallet flow and efficient use of vertical warehouse space. VTUs can carry loads up to 2000kg and operate up to 40 metres.
Moffett Automation Conveyor

Moffett Automation pallet conveyor systems support inbound and outbound pallet movement between the automated storage system and wider warehouse processes. Each conveyor solution is designed, manufactured and installed around customer specifications, load requirements and site layout, with integration available for AGVs and existing conveyor systems.
Moffett Automation Racking

Moffett Automation works with multiple manufacturers of approved high-tolerance interconnected racking designed for automated pallet storage. The racking structure is engineered around pallet dimensions, shuttle movement, structural accuracy and available space to maximise storage density and support reliable system performance.
Moffett Automation WCS
Moffett Automation WCS
Our Moffett Automation WCS (Warehouse Control System) is integrated into existing WMS (Warehouse management system) to control stock and pallets and we offer front-end control of the system to display current storage capacity and stock levels. Thanks to our in-house software team, Moffett Automation is able to integrate with any ERP or WMS company.
Remote Access Support
Remote Access Support
Moffett Automation systems are supported by our software support team in Monaghan, Ireland. The team provides 24/7 remote access support through secure VPN connectivity, helping minimise downtime, respond quickly to issues and keep live systems updated with the latest approved software.
Moffett Automation Picking Tunnels
Moffett Automation Picking Tunnels
Moffett Automation can install pick tunnels and pick stations into each automated storage system. Products can be picked safely off pallets eliminating the need to outbound the full pallet. Our software team can tailor the picking stations to suit the demands of the business and auto-replenishment can be integrated which allows for the automatic changeover of pallets once they are picked to empty.
Pallet Buffering
Pallet Buffering
Pallet buffering zones can be designed around inbound and outbound areas to manage peak demand. Inbound pallets can be held close to entry points during high-volume periods before being moved to final storage locations during quieter windows. Outbound orders can also be staged near dispatch before peak loading periods, improving flow and reducing response times.
Scalability
Scalability
Moffett Automation systems are designed to scale as throughput and storage requirements grow. Additional Taxis, storage locations, transfer points or system phases can be added to increase pallet movement, support business growth and extend automation capacity without redesigning the entire operation.
Time to Delivery
Time to Delivery
Fast, reliable pallet movement is critical in modern warehousing, manufacturing and distribution. The Moffett Automation system is designed for 24/7 operation, helping businesses increase pallet throughput, reduce manual handling and respond more quickly to delivery demands.
