At the Materials Handling Exhibition in Dubai, Swisslog presented the world premier of a groundbreaking system, which integrates robotic picking with the unique automated small part storage and picking system AutoStore. Key benefits of the system include picking accuracy, more flexible and faster delivery times as well as independency of labor.
The automated item pick is designed for repeated single item picks to fulfil fast delivery of orders. It perfectly suits the requirements of e-commerce, pharmaceutical or spare parts logistics. Automated item pick combines effectively Swisslog’s existing intralogistics concepts such as AutoStore with robot picking. The solution design is based on a shared picking principle: The robot picks the items that he is able to pick – which is already 30-60% of the product range – and a worker finishes the order.
