Each Order Picking Systems
Picking and Replenishment Technologies That Save Space, Time and Money
Successful order picking systems are based on a full understanding and analysis of your picking operations. Once these parameters are fully understood (SKU profiles, order profiles, shipping requirements, handling requirements, load definitions), designs are developed based on the appropriate picking strategies and the applicable order picking technologies. A final design will typically contain a combination of several core technologies to process large volumes of material, handle items of various sizes and weights and/or to efficiently manage replenishment activities. We have significant experience designing and installing these data-driven and customer-specific, tailored systems that reduce labor requirements, decrease costs, save space, improve accuracy, increase productivity and minimize product damage.
We offer a variety of order picking technologies to meet the needs of your application:
Carousel and Vertical Lift Module (VLM) Solutions
Carousels and Vertical Lift Modules are commonly used where the operation has many SKUs of slow to moderate movement, where the cube size of the items is also small to moderate. These solutions provide dense storage, easy compartmentalization, goods to man picking and the ability to batch pick for higher productivity. Carousels in particular can be used creatively to sort items directly into order cartons at high speeds, thereby acting as a type of unit sorter.
EXACTPick™ Horizontal Carousel Solution
Specifically designed for the footwear and apparel business, this solution provides a perfectly tailored industry solution that promotes very high speed picking of these lightweight and somewhat bulky items, at a very low cost of investment.
Highly Automated Goods-to-Man Solution
Some distribution environments are characterized by very large numbers of SKUs and daily orders. In these cases, very highly automated order picking solutions are required. We have the ability to provide high speed goods-to-man picking, in which the system takes inventory totes to pick stations and balances the flow of both order and inventory totes to drive order picking at the fastest rates possible.
Man-to-Goods Order Picking Solution
Some distribution operations or areas within a distribution center work best in man-to-goods order picking environments. Pick modules using paperless order picking systems, pallet flow, case flow or shelving, all combined with conveyor systems for routing order totes and cartons, can deliver the best returns in many applications. Picking fast moving items with zone based picking systems can offer significant benefits. We can design and provide the entire solution and offer a variety of approaches to improve order picking productivity.
