Picking

Robots bring or pick the goods and cases needed from storage, cutting time spent searching and walking.

Core functions
  • Retrieve cases and totes from racks and bring them to workers
  • High-density storage holds more stock in the same footprint
  • Piece-level automatic picking with robot arms
Customer value
  • Higher picking productivity; new staff become productive quickly
  • Better storage density can postpone warehouse expansion
  • Fewer mispicks and steadier shipping quality
Check before deploying
  • Number of SKUs, case sizes, and daily order lines
  • Ceiling height and floor load rating (for high-density storage)
