The machine library
Twenty-nine starter profiles across eleven classes, all yours to edit, and how to replace them with the real thing.
#What you start with
Every new organisation is seeded with a complete taxonomy of the machines a feasibility study might involve — one or more profiles per class, with figures that are typical for that class. They are starting points, not manufacturer specifications. Every one carries a note saying so, and every value is editable.
| Class | Profiles | Typical aisle |
|---|---|---|
| Counterbalance | 1.5 t three-wheel · 1.6 t · 2.5 t · 3.5 t | 3.2 – 4.0 m |
| Reach truck | 1.4 t · 2.0 t · double-deep 2.0 t | 2.8 – 3.1 m |
| VNA turret | 1.0 t · 1.5 t | 1.6 – 1.7 m |
| Pallet truck | pedestrian 1.6 t · powered 2.0 t · rider 2.5 t | 2.1 – 2.5 m |
| Stacker | pedestrian 1.2 t · rider 1.6 t | 2.4 – 2.6 m |
| Order picker | low-level 2.0 t · mid-level 1.0 t · high-level 1.0 t | 1.5 – 2.4 m |
| Articulated | narrow-aisle 2.0 t | 2.0 m |
| Tow tractor | 1.0 t · 3.0 t · 5.0 t | 1.6 – 2.1 m |
| AMR, pallet | 1.2 t · heavy 2.5 t | 2.2 – 2.6 m |
| AMR, tote | tote shuttle 100 kg · case picker 200 kg · goods-to-person 600 kg | 0.9 – 1.0 m |
| AGV | forked 1.5 t · unit-load deck 1.0 t · tugger 2.0 t | 1.8 – 3.0 m |
The typical figures exist so a study can be started immediately. They are not the figures to buy on. Before a report goes to a client, replace the four fields that matter — minimum aisle, speed, capacity and footprint — with the spec sheet for the exact configuration being quoted. Mast, battery and load length all move the aisle figure.
#Why not real manufacturer models?
Three reasons, and they are the same reasons the rest of the product works the way it does. A model's minimum aisle depends on its configuration, so a single catalogue number would be a precise lie. Shipping a list of vendors would make Auddomate a vendor scoreboard, which the manifesto refuses. And a catalogue of hundreds of models goes stale the month after it is published.
The integrator quoting a specific truck already has the spec sheet for the exact configuration. That number beats anything we could ship.
#Making them yours
Open Machine Library, edit any profile, and replace the figures. Rename it to the model you are quoting. Or add new profiles. Or bulk-load a whole catalogue as CSV from Integrations — see CSV import. On Enterprise, we load your vendor catalogue for you.
Auddomate has no relationship with any manufacturer and takes no position on whose machine is best. The library is yours.
#Classes
The class is a label used for grouping, the fleet table and the report. It does not change the arithmetic — the fields on the profile do. Valid classes are counterbalance, reach, vna, pallet, stacker, picker, articulated, tow, amr_pallet, amr_tote, agv and other.
