An advanced automated product picking and packing system, developed by Systemex Automation, has been successfully installed in a 125,000 square-foot distribution center in Ontario, Canada. This system revolutionizes warehouse operations and sets new standards for efficiency and accuracy in the logistics industry.
The system integrates cutting-edge technologies and processes designed to optimize productivity, reduce reliance on labor, and improve order accuracy.
System Overview:
Designed to optimize the picking and packing process, it utilizes Geek+ automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and advanced packing technologies.
It consists of five main zones:
1 - Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) Zone:
2&3 - Moving, Picking and Packing and Operations:
4 - E-commerce Picking Solution:
An e-commerce goods picking solution using Geek+ P800 automated guided vehicles (AGVs) brings shelves to a picking station, eliminating wasted time for the picker to move down aisles. This allows for an increase in output and efficiency of up to 1,000 picks per hour.
5 - Outfeed:
The output section moves shipping boxes from the warehouse production lines to their next destination. This section includes a SCADA system, audit stations, quality control, printing and application stations, box sealers, 11 dedicated output lines for carriers, and over 500 linear feet of conveyor systems. Managing a throughput of over 400 boxes per hour, this section requires meticulous coordination of equipment and technologies to ensure accuracy, speed, and reliability in the supply chain process.
Advantages of the System:
This advanced system marks a significant milestone in warehouse automation, showcasing the capabilities of modern logistics technologies. Its successful implementation underscores Systemex Automation’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence in the logistics sector.
