i-ntelligent dynamic buffer system

LOGISTICA AWARD 2012 [RBS]

GOODS TO PERSON OR ROBOT

Random Buffer System [RBS] bringing goods to person or to robot is a very effective solution for the medium fast & slow moving inventory

AUTOMATED ITEM-ORDER PICKING *Organized Buffer System [OBS] completely automates item-order picking is a very efficient solution for the fast & medium fast moving inventory

MIXED PALLETIZING & ORDER CONSOLIDATION *

Sequencer Buffer System [SBS] in combination with [OBS] or [RBS]

* For the [OBS] and the [SBS] there are separate presentations

PATENT PENDING

the i-Collector starts with a simple storage rack consisting of a matrix of glide rails.Individual trays filled with your products move by sliding on the glide-rail.

On either end of the glide-rail matrix are transfer devices (actuator) that can hold multiple trays each. The two actuators move simultaneously to the same glide-rail. Once at a glide-rail, a simple pusher on the actuator pushes the trays into the glide-rail on one end causing an equal number of trays on the opposite end to be released from the glide-rail onto the opposite actuator.

The actuator delivers the trays to a picking station* and then moves to the next glide-rail position.

The i-Collector can be utilized in multiple configurations to fulfill your item-order picking needs: batch-in/mixed-out, mixed-in/batch-out or even mixed-in/mixed-out, the i-Collector can handle these configurations regardless size, irregular shape or type of packaging.

* there are 3 types of picking stations (option): A- low capacity / B- medium capacity with buffer / C- high capacity with buffer
