In today’s fast-paced environment, manufacturers and distributors are pressured to efficiently fulfill orders on time. In most cases, this leads to picking and staging orders prior to shipment, which impacts the entire supply chain process.
Implementing an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) with an automated warehouse picking system can dramatically streamline order fulfillment and increase efficiency
Advantages of Our Automated Picking Systems
Westfalia's order picking systems are an efficient, cost-effective solution to store and retrieve layers and cases without a pallet to meet just-in-time order requirements.
Our automated fulfillment systems use robotics to automatically pick products from inventory - in singles or groups - which are then palletized and shipped to the customer. When an AS/RS is fully equipped with an automated order picking system, the warehouse picking and packing process is improved in several ways:
- Eliminates picking labor and reduces the risk of repetitive manual handling
- Flexible and compact designs that can fit into existing footprints
- Improves pallet build efficiency and quality
- Ability to handle most package types
- Improved traceability and 100% order accuracy
- Decreases manual costs associated with picking full cases
A Cornerstone of Fulfillment Automation: Robotic Order Picking
From robotic palletizing systems capable of building mixed-case pallets to automated guided vehicles for loading and unloading trucks, the era of warehouse automation is here with robotic picking systems. Fully autonomous order picking robots are growing more sophisticated, meaning there’s never been a better time to incorporate robots in order fulfillment.
