Automated Shipping and Outbound Systems
Shipping systems
A successful fulfillment operation depends on balancing labor constraints with speed and accuracy demands. When the last mile relies on labor-intensive, repetitive tasks, both efficiency and employee retention are at risk. The solution isn't just automation—it's applying intelligence where it makes the biggest difference.
Reduce unpredictability in outbound operations with automation guided by operational insight — not just equipment deployment.
By automating key outbound processes, you reduce dependence on labor availability and lower costs tied to manual work. Dematic software doesn't just track — it anticipates flow, intelligently routes inventory, and directs material to optimize shipping performance in real time.
Whether you're shipping full pallets or high volumes of smaller parcels, outbound performance depends on control and consistency. Dematic shipping systems combine advanced sortation, sequencing, and loading — orchestrated by intelligent software—so orders move from verification to trailer loading with fewer delays and fewer errors.
Ship with accuracy & rapid manifesting
Confirm every outbound order with real-time information that supports rapid manifesting. Problems are identified early — addressed before they impact shipping or customer delivery.
Load and dispatch faster
Streamline staging, dock flow, and trailer loading to minimize manual handling and wasted motion. In many operations, loading times drop by as much as 300%—keeping teams ahead of schedule and carriers on time.
Sequence to match your network
Apply the right level of sequencing to minimize backloading and optimize multi-stop routes. Reverse-sequence staging and loading (pallet shipping) ensures the right freight is accessible at the right stop — improving speed, accuracy, and overall delivery efficiency.
Shipping units — cases, totes, bags, or pallets — move through outbound on a controlled path. They're conveyed, sorted, and sequenced to the right staging and loading locations, while automated track-and-trace maintains visibility from release to dispatch and minimizes manual handling.
As each order is loaded, it’s scanned to verify accuracy and enable end-to-end tracking. That keeps the right products on the right load, at the right door, and in the right sequence. Teams can load with confidence and keep the dock moving.
Packing is a key control point in outbound. It maintains order accuracy, keeps cycle times on track, and manages transportation costs by selecting the right-size shipping container. Dematic software orchestrates the process to minimize manual touchpoints and use labor efficiently.
Value-added packing supports the customer experience and repeat business. Options can include premium packaging, catalogs, promotional offers, discount vouchers, special tags, customized labels, gifts, product samples, and thank you cards.
Dematic configures ergonomic packing workstations across industries and integrates with automated carton formers, auto bagging, packing slip print and insert, void fill and carton sealing, shipping label print and apply, carton strapping, and inline check weighing.
