Murata Machinery is building Double Reach Shuttle into North American ASRS
A February 5, 2025 Double Reach Shuttle product record and March 2025 Cimcorp partnership place Murata Machinery around dense goods-to-person ASRS.
New Equipment Digest published on February 5, 2025 that Muratec Machinery USA was bringing Double Reach Shuttle to ProMat 2025. ManufacturingTomorrow later reported that Murata Machinery USA and Cimcorp would present the system together at the March 2025 show in Chicago, giving the product a North American launch surface.
Double Reach Shuttle targets storage density for small-product handling. The system uses a narrow shuttle vehicle and double-reach transfer mechanism to retrieve loads from deeper storage locations inside a compact footprint. Muratec says it handles loads from 2 to 66 pounds and can move about 1,000 cases per hour per aisle across combined inbound and outbound operations.
Double Reach Shuttle combines storage and retrieval with integrated sorting and goods-to-person picking. The North American launch did not name a customer installation.
Murata Machinery's corporate profile records 4,133 employees, or 8,659 at group level, as of March 31, 2025. Cimcorp contributes Dreamfield automation for fresh food, dairy, bakery, and beverage distribution.
