Establish More Efficient Operations With Automated Picking Technology
Labor constraints and high-volume orders have required warehouse managers to rewire their approach to the order-picking process. They have turned to new technologies to enhance their inventory management.
Polymatic delivers advanced picking solutions that promote precision across your warehouse order-picking process. Our technologies make the most of your warehouse layout; they scale with your growth. Whether you want to reinforce your case-picking-to-conveyor or case-picking-to-pallet efforts, our specialists have an array of high-quality designs we modify to your specific requirements.
Our automated order-picking solutions include:
Batch to Put Wall Picking
This piece-picking system batch-picks large orders from traditional or automated storage systems with smart conventional sortation techniques. Picking software monitors resource use and adjusts work dynamically based on order priority. Automation technologies ensure efficiency for your distribution center.
Conventional batch picking can be combined with automated put walls to consolidate orders. Similarly, the automated order-picking method can be combined with goods-to-person batch picking to achieve high throughput in small-item order sortation and consolidation.
Batch to Sorter Picking
This order-picking method applies mechanical sorters to replace or augment conventional put wall operation. The picking software monitors resource use and adjusts the workload based on order urgency.
The workflow is as follows: voice commands direct order pickers to specific locations. The conveyor system transports full totes to the mechanical sortation system, where each item is scanned and inducted. Items are routed to sort points for consolidation, to be quickly sent to packing areas.
Goods-to-Person Picking
A well-structured goods-to-person picking process delivers items directly to pick stations. Order pickers spend less time tracking down items and can focus on transferring items into totes. Visual instructions help pickers to locate the necessary items and sort them into the proper containers.
Polymatic suggests these systems for high-demand applications. Warehouse operations dealing with direct-to-customer or business-to-business fulfillment benefit from the high-density secure storage and reduced travel time.
Workstations
Goods-to-person workstations help workers maintain a smooth workflow. Picking and decanting become less time-consuming. On-demand flow processing, synchronized inventory arrivals, and decoupling create an environment for accurate operation.
Polymatic Delivers High-Performance Case-Picking Systems
Our team provides the resources you need to assess your current picking solutions. We help reframe your approach to the process. Our team delivers case-picking systems that match your operational goals. Our specialists provide:
Case Picking to Conveyor
Polymatic offers technology that guides your operators by lights or voice commands. Our system reduces fulfillment time by filling orders based on real-time conditions and sorting pallets into multi-level pick modules that optimize space use. Our team recommends this system if you work with many SKUs at high volumes.
Case Picking to Pallet
We deliver a system that uses computer-generated voice commands to guide your order pickers to make accurate selections. The technology applies software to walk your staff through every stage of the order-picking process to reduce human error at your facility.
