Dematic offers collaborative picking and automated case picking solutions. The most appropriate case pick solution is selected based on your application’s requirements. Collaborative picking solutions incorporate warehouse employees into the pick system operation, while automated picking solutions do not require labour to operate.
Goods to Person
The person (order picker) stays in one place, and the system brings the goods or SKUs to the person. The SKU is picked and then sent back to a storage location. The basic system components consist of an automated storage medium for the product inventory, a conveyance method to bring the SKUs to the pick station, an ergonomic workstation, and software to control the flow.
Case Pick to Pallet
Warehouse staff use pallet trucks or fork trucks for travel to the pick locations. The order pallet is built as the operator travels to each case storage location and selects cases.
The operators are equipped with a wearable voice computer that gives verbal instructions including location and case pick quantity. Using the scanner connected to the wearable computer ensures the accuracy of each pick. At the pick location, the associate removes the case(s) stored on flow rack, pallet rack, or on the floor, and transfers onto the pallet truck.
Case Pick to Conveyor
Warehouse staff are positioned in pick modules and build the order pallet as they travel to each case storage location and select cases for placement on the conveyor.
