How do Dematic receiving systems work?
Inbound handling solutions streamline and organize the process of bringing materials into your facility, including raw materials for manufacturing, finished goods for distribution, or returned merchandise that feeds back into inventory.
Whether bringing raw materials into a production facility or finished goods into a distribution center, efficient management of your supply chain starts at receiving.
All incoming materials are verified and checked for quality and quantity before being sent to high-density storage. Dematic iQ software ensures inventory accuracy, provides real-time inventory visibility, and intelligently routes the inventory for efficient retrieval. Dematic Receiving solutions support a range of manual to fully automated receiving and putaway of your inbound goods.
How Receiving Works
- Incoming pallets (unit loads) and cases are unloaded and verified against manifests and purchase orders.
- Items are inspected for quality, quantity, and damage.

- Items are directed to the most optimal storage location or dispatch area (cross-dock).
