Goods-to-Person Picking Systems
Boost Pick Rates, Enhance Order Precision, and Expand Fulfillment Capabilities.
Benefits of Goods-to-Person Picking Systems "GTP"
Goods-to-person picking systems integrate technology with dense storage components, offering scalable piece-picking solutions. These systems enable efficient, accurate,
and swift order picking.
Typically, incoming products are stored in totes or trays within a high-density storage system. As orders are placed, the required products are auto-retrieved and directed to a picker stationed at a workstation. The picker then assembles the order, preparing it for palletizing or the packing zone. This streamlined approach eradicates unnecessary movement, bolstering order precision and worker productivity.
Key Advantages
- Remarkably high pick rates
- Labor cost reductions
- Enhanced storage efficiency within a compact space
- Ergonomic design
- Adaptability to evolving business requirements
Types of Goods-to-Person Systems
Goods-to-person picking systems predominantly fall into two categories: Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) and Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS). VLMs,
designed for smaller, less frequently moved items, can present one or two trays to the picking zone simultaneously. In contrast, AS/RS systems vary in design, tailored to
specific picking operation needs
