Dematic Voice PGV was prized by initiative mittelstand as winner of the Innovation Prize 2008 in the category Logistics. The jury chose the product Voice PGV as most innovative product for medium-sized businesses. 
 

 

 
We implemented the picking product Voice PGV for our customer Marktkauf for the first time worldwide ( read more).

 

Pick-by-Voice as well as Automated Guided Vehicles were utilized as isolated applications in many project in the past. At Marktkauf both systems were integrated for the first time – with remarkable success.

Pick-by-Voice controls AGVs





The combination of Pick-by-Voice (PbV) and Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is a very sophisticated picking concept with complex material flow controls. The AGV autonomously picks up a pallet from the pallet dispenser and lines up at the beginning of the picking process. The picker receives his commands via Pick-by-Voice. The AGV is control via speech input. After picking confirmation if moves on to the optimal position for the next pick. The AGV’s fork with the customer pallet start at the height of one meter and is lowered with each picked layer of goods to prevent the picker from unnecessary bends.

 

Is the pallet completed – is determined by volume calculation – the next AGV approaches to follow the picker. Immediately after the AGV with the full pallet leaves, the new AGV is used for picking.

 

The AGV takes the full pallet to the stretcher. A label is applied to the pallet which is then taken to an allocation place in the shipping zone.
