High-speed, high-volume designs for worker efficiency
The need to fulfil orders faster and more accurately is driving fulfilment centres and kitting operations to implement efficient, flexible, modular, ergonomic, and scalable goods-to-person workstations. The “put to order” goods-to-person method allows items, pieces, and parts to be presented to a worker or robot for consolidation into an order or kit.
Workstations dedicated to specific workflows: decanting, picking, packing
Dematic workstations ensure a smooth workflow and help your warehouse operate more efficiently. Designed to accommodate specific tasks — decanting, picking, or packing — workstations also help improve ergonomics and support operational flexibility.
Person decanting at goods-to-person workstation
The Dematic Warehouse Execution System (WES) software manages and synchronises the inbound process of decanting and put-away. The decanting process includes the repackaging of orders into plastic totes to facilitate automated storage to support inventory and picking accuracy.
The order picking workstation includes a position for the inventory or “donor” tote and the order tote. Workstations are modular and include a variety of donor to order tote configurations: 1:1, 1:4, 2:4, 1:6, 1:12, and 2:24. The order contents can be placed in a cardboard shipping container, plastic bag, or tote. Collaborative robots can augment the picking process and operate in goods-to-robot workstations.
