Order picking and fulfillment

Maximum storage density, convenient picking and replenishment of gravity flow racks, automatic transportation of completed orders by conveyor line significantly increase the efficiency of the warehouse.

• Up to 35% of space saved. High storage density
• FIFO/LIFO principle. Orderly storage of goods
• x5 to productivity. Increased productivity compared to shelf racks.
• x4 to efficiency. Reduction of time intervals of goods movement
• 1 time per year. Minimal maintenance – once a year
• Safety. Minimizing the risks of accidents and damage to goods during transportation

THE OPERATOR WORKS WITH THESE TYPES AND SIZES OF PACKAGING:

Automated order picking reduces labor and error costs and improves customer service, making this process a key element of the logistics chain more efficient and convenient for the business and its customers.

The efficiency of automated order picking vs. manual order picking is 1×4

Manual process:

• 20 trays/hour;
• 20 kg;
• Person-to-Goods principle.

Automated process:

• 80 trays/hour;
• 35 kg;
• Goods-to-Person principle.

Automated order picking has a significant advantage in speed, accuracy, productivity. It makes efficient large warehouses and logistics centers with the processing of a significant number of orders. Such equipment allows scaling up and multiplying the warehouse capabilities.

Warehouse equipment used in automated order picking systems includes:

1. Driven roller conveyor. Order picking in the warehouse on the basis of driven roller conveyors allows precise control of the speed and direction of movement of goods, which is necessary for proper order picking and fulfillment. The conveyor saves energy, secures the cargo, provides for easy reconfiguration due to its modular design and increases the overall productivity of the warehouse.
2. Gravity flow racks. This type of equipment has well thought-out ergonomics and guarantees unloading speed x5 compared to shelf racks, reducing the time intervals of moving orders. Thanks to gravity flow racks, space is freed up for storage and picking of goods. Warehouse space is used as efficiently as possible, turnover increases, and the error rates in order picking tend to zero.
3. Pick by Light. Facilitates order picking in e-commerce warehouses, distribution centers, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and assembly lines. Pick by Light’s intuitive interface and light cues allow operators to pick goods faster and increase order picking productivity by up to 50%. And with accurate display information, Pick by Light helps avoid errors and guarantees 99.99% order picking accuracy.
4. WCS. Warehouse Control System is a software module for controlling the operation of equipment in the warehouse. It synchronizes the work of personnel, automation system and goods flow. WCS plays an important role in the order picking process, because it controls the picking of goods on the shelves and monitors compliance with orders. It greatly facilitates picking by determining the shortest and optimal route of goods movement.
