Abstract

Shuttle (10) for moving a pallet inside an insect breeding facility (100), the shuttle (10) comprising - a support body (12) comprising - a top side (20) for carrying a pallet and an opposite base (22), - a front side (24) and opposite rear side (26) - a first side (28I) and opposite second side (28II) - wheels (30) on the first side and second side (28I, 28II) configured for running on a rail system (110); - a drive system (40) comprising at least one drive motor (42) configured to driving at least one of the wheels (40); - a lift system (50) comprising at least one lift motor (52) configured for displacing the top side (20) relative to wheels (40) between an upper position (58U) and a lower position (58L); - a shuttle comprising a charging coil (60) at an outer face configured for converting magnetic field to electric energy; - a rechargeable battery unit (72) for powering the shuttle (10), the battery unit (72) being connected to charging coil (60) for charging; - a sealed compartment (70) forming part of the support body (12), the sealed com- partment (70) comprising - a controller (76) comprising a processor and a computer-readable medium having stored thereon a computer program configured to cause the processor to change the state of the shuttle (10) by activating the lift system (50) be- tween a load carrying state (14), where the top side (22) is in the upper po- sition (58U), and a non-carrying state (16), where the top side (20) is in the lower position (58L).

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for allocating loads to breeding positions in an insect farm. The system comprises a transfer wagon, a first rail system, and one or more shuttles with a unique shuttle ID. The one or more shuttles are adapted to run on the rail system. The transfer wagon is adapted to carry at least one of the shuttles. The invention furthermore relates to a computer-implemented method of operation of the system.
