In-line order-picking system X-PTS

automatic

Overview
SAVOYE's X-PTS Pick Station is an ergonomic goods-to-person picking workstation designed for sustained high throughput and to adapt to peak periods. It supports multiple modes of operation such as picking and inventory management while prioritising operator comfort and efficient posture to limit fatigue.

Quality — 1-to-1 principle
The workstation uses a 1-to-1 pick location and single drop-off location to minimise errors. Visual guidance focuses the operator on the displayed quantity, reducing wrong picks and improving service rate.

Performance
Under real-life conditions the X-PTS Pick Station typically achieves 300–700 lines per hour depending on items per line and special operations (bagging, labelling, weighing). This throughput supports faster ROI and responsive order fulfilment to meet cut-off times.

User-friendly interfaces
The solution requires minimal training thanks to simple, intuitive interfaces. Fast onboarding of new staff accelerates operational readiness and stabilises performance across teams.

Ergonomics
Repetitive actions (pick, drop, validate) are performed at hip level. Product trays and packages are tilted to reduce upper-limb effort. Capacitive buttons, touch screens and integrated lighting reduce biomechanical and postural stress and operator fatigue.

Sequencing
Sequencing at the station ensures specific items are picked in the required order (e.g., heavy/bulky before fragile) to avoid improper packing. Sequencing can be handled by upstream storage or by a dedicated Buffer-Sequencer that converts unordered arrivals into sequenced flows.

X-PTS Pick Robot
When integrated with an automated goods-to-person system, the X-PTS Pick Robot combines robotic gripping, vision and embedded AI to identify, pick and place items automatically and continuously (24/7), covering a large portion of item inventories.

Use cases & modes
