1. Use Space Efficiently
- Vertical compaction: The system can start at a height of 2.50 m and scale up to a height of 7.50 m, making full use of the available ceiling height.
- Space savings: The available floor space is used more efficiently, as 50 containers fit into just one square meter. Because the system does away with wide aisles entirely, floor space savings of up to 70 % can be achieved.
2. Speed Up Processes
- No more walking routes: The robots deliver containers with the right items directly to the employee at the picking station. This completely eliminates walking routes and long search times.
- Consistently high performance: The system achieves 200 container presentations per hour at each picking station. Depending on requirements, more or fewer robots can be deployed to scale performance.
- Fast order processing: The pick rate is 5 × higher than with manual systems, shortening throughput times.
3. Improve the Error Rate
- Light-guided picking: The system shows the employee exactly which item to remove.
- No more mispicks, thanks to the precise control of the automated system.
4. Relieve Employees
- Easy onboarding: After just 10 minutes of training, employees can start picking.
- No more manual tasks required – employees can focus on value-adding work.
5. Transparency and Control
- Real-time data: Every item can be located at any time.
- Automatic inventory: The system automatically records item quantities, so stock no longer needs to be counted manually.
- Better metrics: The system provides clear KPIs for managing costs and performance.
6. Future-Readiness
- Scalability: If throughput increases or seasonal fluctuations occur, the automated small parts warehouse can be expanded modularly.
- Competitive advantage: Increased process efficiency makes delivery times faster and more reliable, helping you keep pace with the market.
