Dematic piece and case pick systems increase pick rates and accuracy and streamline order fulfillment efficiency while reducing the time required to pick, pack and ship orders. Advances in order fulfillment technology combined with new operational methods and management software can drive vast improvements within your picking operation.
Pick system methods
Most companies use batch or discrete picking methods. Dematic’s application engineers analyze your activity profile to determine the most appropriate pick system and configuration, considering factors such as SKU velocity, lines per order, channel to market, delivery or pickup timing, and return on investment.
Determining the right picking solution
Dematic offers a comprehensive portfolio of picking and putting technologies. Modular order management and processing software provide complete control from fully automated distribution centers to warehouses with manual operations.
Warehouse staff are positioned in pick modules and build the order pallet as they travel to each case storage location and select cases for placement on the conveyor. Equipped with a wearable voice computer that gives verbal instructions like location and case pick quantity, operators use the scanner connected to the wearable computer to ensure pick accuracy. At the pick location, the associate removes the case(s) stored on flow rack, pallet rack, or on the floor, and transfers them onto the conveyor system.
