OverviewThe decant workstation is the inbound loading point where items or inner packs are removed from their shipping containers and placed into totes for automated storage. The decanting process supports inventory accuracy, operational productivity and high-density storage. The workstation design helps operators work safely and efficiently.
Operators in optimal positionWorkstations are height-adjustable and ergonomically designed to reduce physical strain and enable fast, smooth handling. The system guides operators on how to (re)compartmentalise empty product carriers; operators can confirm or override system suggestions. Compartment layouts are available in 2, 4 or 8 positions per product carrier.
Damage preventionAfter decanting, the weight and height of the product carrier are checked to prevent oversized or overweight items entering conveyors or AS/RS. An integrated weighing scale and height check ensure such items cannot damage conveyor or storage systems.
