Automated Material Handling Systems We Offer
Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) deliver significant advantages for modern warehouses. These systems use robotic technology to bring inventory—via bins, trays, or cubes—directly to operators. They enhance space utilization, minimize manual handling, and accelerate both retrieval and storage of goods, resulting in improved operational efficiency and accuracy.
Goods-to-Person
Goods-to-person solutions use automated storage and retrieval systems to boost picking efficiency by bringing items directly to workers or workstations. This technology eliminates manual searching, dramatically speeds up order picking, reduces unnecessary walking, and improves overall order fulfillment accuracy.
In-Motion Weighing
In-motion weighing (or check-weighing) systems provide real-time weight data as items move along a conveyor. This enables immediate weight verification, streamlines inventory management, reduces manual weighing steps, and improves the speed and accuracy of both shipping and receiving processes.
Pick-to-Light / Put-to-Light
Pick-to-Light and Put-to-Light systems use illuminated displays to guide workers to the correct items and quantities for picking or putting away. This visual direction increases processing speed, reduces picking errors, and improves the overall efficiency and accuracy of warehouse fulfillment tasks.
Print & Apply (PandA) Systems
Print and Apply (PandA) systems automatically print and apply labels to items or packages as they move along a production line or conveyor. This automation increases labeling speed and accuracy, reduces manual labor, and ensures consistent, legible labeling for efficient tracking and shipping.
Robotics (AGV/AMR)
Robotics, including Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), automate the transportation of goods within a warehouse. These systems improve operational efficiency, reduce labor costs associated with manual transport, enhance safety by handling repetitive tasks, and offer flexible solutions for material movement.
Scanning Technology
Scanning technology enables rapid and accurate identification of items across manufacturing and warehouse operations. It speeds up receiving, put-away, picking, and shipping processes, improves inventory accuracy, reduces data entry errors, and enhances overall supply chain visibility.
Software Controls
Warehouse software and control systems provide real-time visibility and management of your entire operation. They optimize storage, picking, and shipping processes, improve inventory accuracy, streamline workflows, and enable data-driven decision-making for enhanced efficiency and productivity. Additionally, software systems enable remote access and improve maintenance support for automated equipment.
VLM & Carousel Storage
Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) and carousels maximize vertical space by presenting stored items directly to the operator. These solutions save valuable floor space, improve picking speed and accuracy, enhance inventory security, and create a more ergonomic picking environment compared to traditional shelving.
VRC (Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor)
Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRCs) move goods efficiently and safely between different levels in a warehouse or manufacturing facility. They eliminate manual lifting, speed up material transfer between floors, and optimize the use of vertical space for smoother, more efficient operations.
