Picking
Order picking is probably one of the most complex and costly processes within the intralogistics chain. This is because it basically involves the manual or automatic compilation of goods for an order. There are many different types of picking, a basic distinction is made between "goods to person" and "person to goods". Depending on the circumstances within the intralogistics system, one or the other strategy, or a combination of both, may be the optimal solution for you. Let us work together to determine how we can optimize your process.
Picking station
In the "goods to person" picking strategy, there are fixed picking stations – regardless of whether they are containers, pallets or other load carriers – where the goods are automatically retrieved from the high-bay warehouse and automatically prepared for picking. With the "person to goods" strategy, the person in the automated warehouse reaches the goods through the picking tunnels, which are directly connected to the warehouse via our patented picking gates, and collects them with support (Pick by / to light, -voice). For both variants, we not only supply the right software to optimise order picking to the maximum, but also the right mobile devices.
Order picking doors
If your goods flow or item structure is organised in such a way that "goods-to-person" picking is not efficient, we have just the right solution for you. With our patented order picking doors, the required goods are retrieved fully automatically at the locations defined by the strategy in the warehouse management system. And, of course, with the highest safety standards. Our order picking doors are also very low-maintenance. Mechanically, they are actually very simple, but we have not skimped on sophistication when it comes to the drive. Only one drive is required on the stacker crane per picking level. This saves not only the cost of a large number of additional drives, but also the complex cabling. Another advantage is the low weight of our doors, which can have a significant impact on the structural stability of the rack. In addition, it is possible to exchange the goods provided for other goods.
