Modern warehouses have evolved and adapted to meet fast moving and demanding markets. Through automation, businesses can improve their workflow and warehouse efficiency by creating a "goods-to-person” systems, which offers a range of benefits;
- By storing products within one system, the operator is able to access all their order picks from one location. This speeds up the picking process by eliminating the time spent walking and searching for parts.
- By taking advantage of the full warehouse height, our automated storage systems maximise the storage capacity whilst reducing the storage footprint required.
- Order accuracy and traceability is improved as the machine delivers the product directly to the operator, reducing error rate.
- Heightened Operator safety as movement around the warehouse is limited.
- Stock security is enhanced as all orders are managed through the corporate ERP system.
