AGV Assisted Picking
Pick-n-Go
Benefits and Application• Turns any forklift into an AGV• Eliminates time-consuming
activities like jumping on/off forklifts or fetching empty pallets
• Augmented with PTV to create a unique picking system
• Can result in a 60-100% productivity improvement in the picking process

Kiva
Benefits and Application• Multiple Robots that move
the product (in pods) to pickers
• High picking rates• Scalable, Flexible• Quick installation
Considerations• Typically a “horizontal”
system• Purchased by Amazon in 2012

Perfect Pick by OPEX
Benefits and Application• Ibots move product in totes
or trays to pickers• Ergonomic pick station• High picking rates reaching
1000 cycles per hour• Scalable• Energy efficient –Ibots use
ultra-capacitors
Each Picking AutomationA-Frames
Benefits and Application• High productivity at peak times• High level of efficiency as no time-
consuming manual picking is required• High level of product density
Considerations• Product and order profile must be right• Still requires replenishment labor
Each Picking AutomationRobotics
Benefits and Application• Product is delivered from
ASRS Miniload in totes• Vision system determines
which product to pick and where in tote it is
• Uses a Flexpicker Robot to pick product automatically
• Product is deposited into staging lane then released to outbound toteRobo-Pick by
SSI Schaefer
Case Picking AutomationRobotic Layer Picking
Benefits and Application• For high case picks per
SKU order profiles• Cases picked in pallet
quantities and distributed as cases
• Little to no human intervention
Case Picking AutomationCase Picking/Tray System
Benefits and Application• Large degree of automation
to reduce costs• Improvements in efficiency
and degree of service• Increasing throughput• Automating storage and order
picking processes
SSI Schaefer’s Case Picking System
Case Picking AutomationCase Dispensing
Benefits and Application• Cases delivered and stored on
simple padded chain conveyors• Single SKU streams go in and
order sequenced streams go out• Works on a “Heart Beat”, with
cases moving through system, into and out of storage with each beat
• Heart Beat is every 2 seconds Innopickby DRL Systems
Case Picking AutomationMobile Robots
Symbotic
Benefits and Application
• Symbotic’s MatrixSelectStorage - high product density
• Matrix Rovers can access any storage location using built in sortation
• Scalable, Flexible• Quick installation
Additional ConsiderationsReplenishment – Automatic Case Opening
Benefits and Applications
• 2, 3, or 4 sided cuts
• Sensors measure every box, allowing complete random box opening
• Cuts can be staggered to allow top to remain with box
• Circular, high speed, rotating blades increase time between blade changes
Additional ConsiderationsErgonomic Pick Stations
Benefits and Application• High performance picking directly
into order totes or boxes• Based on the goods-to-person
principle• Light-directed “put”• Efficient, ergonomic, and fault
free picking• High performance rates – up to
1000 picks per hour
Additional ConsiderationsAutomated Order Verification
Benefits and Applications
• Verifies and documents orders prior to shipping
• Automatic discharging
• Product counting
• Identification of 1-D or 2-D barcodes
• Photographic shipping documentation
• Semi- or fully automatic filling of the customer totes
Importance of Choosing the Right Technology
Mobile, Voice, Pick to light/Put to light, and Traditional Goods-to-Person
Advance solutions for Picking including Advanced Goods-to-Person, Shuttle systems, and Robotics
The choice of technology is tied to many factors including required throughputs, order and SKU profiles, labor rates, and financial policies
