Dematic's LaserTrucks+ solution combines laser guided pallet trucks with a voice directed system, to increase picking productivity for case picking applications.
The LaserTrucks+ solution upgrades pallet trucks to driverless operations using industrial grade laser guidance systems. At the start of an order, the Laser Truck delivers a new pallet directly to the picker, automatically moves with the Voice-equipped picker as they verbally confirm picks, and transports the completed pallet to shipping while the next Laser Truck brings a new pallet to the picker.
Because non-value adding activities, including retrieving a new pallet, driving a pallet mover in the pick aisle, and transporting a completed pallet to shipping, are completely automated, allowing pickers to remain in the pick aisle and concentrate on the task at hand, travel distance is reduced and productivity is increased by up to 100%.
The LaserTruck+ and wireless terminals are managed by Dematic’s PickDIRECTOR software which is integrated into an operation's Warehouse Management System (WMS).
LaserTrucks+ can be implemented into new systems or upgraded to existing systems, delivering the most optimal performance available for a manual picking operation.
