Workstations
High-speed, high-volume designs for worker efficiency
The need to fulfill orders faster and more accurately is driving fulfillment centers and kitting operations to implement efficient, flexible, modular, ergonomic, and scalable goods-to-person workstations. The “put to order” goods-to-person method allows items, pieces, and parts to be presented to a worker or robot for consolidation into an order or kit.
Key benefits of Workstations in supply chain automation
Supply chain automation solutions that feature Workstations come with several advantages:
Improved accuracy and quality
Task‑focused workstations reduce handling complexity and errors by guiding operators through intuitive instructions such as voice, light, or screen‑based prompts.
Increased productivity and throughput
Goods‑to‑person workflows eliminate travel time and enable operators to work in parallel, delivering consistent, high‑throughput performance.
Enhanced ergonomics and safety
Workstations are designed for operator comfort and safety, supporting proper ergonomics and reducing physical strain.
Reduced labor and operational costs
By eliminating unnecessary walking, SKU slotting, and manual searching, workstations reduce labor requirements and processing time.
Operational flexibility
Workstations scale with demand, allowing stations to open or close by shift volume and efficiently handle single‑ or multi‑item orders across varying carton and tote sizes.
Space efficiency and inventory security
High‑density storage combined with workstations reduces system footprint while securing inventory and limiting access to authorized operators.
Workstations dedicated to specific workflows
Dematic workstations ensure a smooth workflow and help your warehouse operate more efficiently. Designed to accommodate specific tasks — decanting, picking, or packing — workstations also help improve ergonomics and support operational flexibility.
Decanting workstations
The Dematic Warehouse Execution System (WES) software manages and synchronizes the inbound process of decanting and put-away. The decanting process includes the repackaging of orders into plastic totes to facilitate automated storage to support inventory and picking accuracy.
