What types of Case Picking does Dematic provide?
Innovative waveless technology to guide operators by voice commands or by lights. Operators dynamically fill orders based on actual real-time conditions, ensuring accuracy, and reducing fulfillment time from hours to just minutes. Picks are made from pallets and/or case-flow racks in high-density, multi-level pick modules to maximize available space.
These systems are best suited for space-constrained operations that handle high volumes with large numbers of SKUs and work well in both ambient and temperature-controlled environments.
General Workflow:
- Voice, labels, or lights direct operators to pick all cases required for a batch of orders within a specific pick module.
- Operators make the picks, placing each case on the outbound conveyor.
- The conveyor transports and merges cases from various pick modules and then sorts them to individual shipping lanes based on order requirements.
