Metal Bin
Attabotics has launched the Guardian bin, a next-generation formed metal bin engineered to help mitigate fire risks without compromising throughput or performance of automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS).
The bin replaces combustible plastics with inert galvanized steel and is designed to contain leaked liquid to limit spills, while supporting the distribution of fire suppression fluid through high-density racking.
Fire safety considerations are central to the Guardian bin’s design. When fire suppression systems are activated, the bin collects and allows water to pool briefly before overflowing downward to adjacent storage locations, supporting effective distribution of suppression fluid throughout the storage structure. The metal construction provides predictable behavior and maintains structural integrity at elevated temperatures, which supports broader system-level safety strategies.
