Pick from Pallet

Pallet ASRS systems can be designed to output directly to picking positions, eliminating manual pallet movements. With an ASRS system this can be on one or more levels. Alternatively this functionality can be achieved with pallet conveyor or transfer car technology.

Typically DCs with a large number of slow moving SKUs are picked using dynamic or goods-to-person systems. In these cases, pallets are retrieved each time they need a pick, and returned to storage after the pick has been made.

Negative picking is the principle of picking off a pallet and using the reminder as the first part of a new order. The diagram shows the Negative Pick Maximizer (NPM) concept, which is based on a system of pallet conveyor, a software module and a voice system. In the right circumstances, the NPM concept can effectively increase an operator's rate to perhaps 800 picks per hour - a significant increase for a relatively small investment.

Layer pickers can be stand alone, or else connected to a pallet ASRS system. They pick individual layers from a donor pallet, and load onto an order pallet. The order pallet can be made of several SKUs.

Case picking has been transformed by the introduction of voice picking technology. This system offers a hands-free, eyes-free solution to picker information technology, while offering high accuracy and a high pick rate.
