Automatic order picking is the complete automation of picking, thus enabling high-speed order picking while reducing inventory errors. Automatic order preparation can be combined with internal transport systems such as ATOX Soluciones Tecnológicas intelligent roller conveyors.
Automatic order preparation systems provide a solution to the needs of warehouses where a large volume of orders is handled or picking activity is concentrated in specific time slots with high work peaks, as occurs in pharmaceutical logistics.
ATOX Soluciones Tecnológicas automatic systems are robust and versatile and allow service in high workload conditions.
automatic picking
An efficient and profitable automatic picking is achieved by using the most appropriate automatic order preparation system for each type of warehouse, type of merchandise and business model. ATOX Soluciones Tecnológicas systems are designed to meet the demands of the most demanding warehouses, with robust, reliable and agile systems, such as automated miniload warehouses and Disban H automatic dispensing.
The versatility of these systems allows them to work in coordination with the intelligent roller transport system.
semi-automatic picking
Semi-automatic picking using the ATOX light-guided system for pick-to-light (or pick-by-light) operations and put-to-light operations allows efficient picking operations to be streamlined.
Operators are guided to each shelf, requiring less concentration and reducing inventory errors. Its combination with intelligent roller conveyors allows several operators to collaborate in the preparation of the same order without leaving their warehouse areas.
Application of automatic order preparation systems
Depending on the needs of each warehouse, its workflow and the type of merchandise handled, it may be more appropriate to implement a fully automatic order preparation system or a pick-to-light system for semi-automatic picking. But the versatility of ATOX storage systems also allows them to work in combination. For example, while automatic picking through automatic dispensers provides service at maximum speed to those items with the most frequent flow, the semi-automatic picking system through pick-to-light is an efficient solution for merchandise long tail, which implies a great diversity of references with low stock for each of them, but with a large global volume of orders. This strategy makes it possible, for example, to meet the high demands of e-commerce stores.
The automatic dispensing Disban H designed and manufactured by ATOX enjoys great success in pharmaceutical logistics warehouses, solving the peaks of order preparation work that are concentrated in certain time slots.
ATOX has already helped to optimize the performance of the warehouses of numerous customers from various business sectors at an international level through the implementation of its pick-to-light system, its automatic dispensers and intelligent roller transport.
ATOX Storage Systems has been designing and manufacturing metal shelving and storage solutions tailored to the needs of each client for more than 50 years.
