Goods-To-Man Automation System-Four Things To Consider

With the constant tech advancements, every day we can see different solutions coming to the market for complete automation. A few solutions are coupled with goods-to-man automation such as robotic warehouse systems that are bringing increased efficiency and productivity. Now, there are a few things that need to be considered when implementing these solutions.

In this competitive order fulfillment era, the ever-increasing demand for satisfying the consumers is causing warehouses and DCs (distribution centers) to focus more on efficacious and affordable solutions. This need has led multiple companies to execute higher automation solutions such as robotic warehouse systems that are best suitable for goods-to-man automation in the stores. These solutions store, input and retrieve products in an automated fashion rather than the employees walking to put away and retrieving products manually.

However, there are a few things that should be considered when executing these systems, which are mentioned below. Let’s take a look at them.

4 Things To Consider For Goods-To-Man Automation System

Throughput:

As a matter of fact, the throughput rates per operator. And, for a whole system, rates are typically quite a bit higher than the traditional manual operations. The automated storage, storage density, ergonomic workstations for the operator, retrieval of cartons, and software, optimizing the order fulfillment, are the major factors, which enhance the throughput of the GTP technologies. The GTP offers greater flexibility for empowering throughout via adding cranes, shuttles, robots as well as picking stations as required.

Storage:
The goods-to-man automation offers some of the densest storage in the entire industry. They possess the ability to render this because the requirement for the traffic patterns and aisles are typically needed for operators and forklifts is minimized to only what is actually required for the cranes or shuttle equipment. The GTP systems also offer flexibility for future storage needs.

Product Profile:

When designing the goods to man automation systems, key factors consist the profile of the products to be handled. Multiple technologies are possessing the limits on the dimensions of the bins to be stored and weight limitations as well. The product’s quality is also a determining factor for some of the GTP systems. They do enable the flexibility for the bins or cartons to visit many aisles for fulfilling orders while maintaining high throughputs.

Accuracy & Security:

The robotic warehouse systems coupled with GTP technologies use software to control the order fulfillment as well as product inventory. Also, they use it for picking confirmation system for making sure accurate order fulfillment. The inventory is more accurate with the automated inventory management than in a manual operation. The order fulfillment has also improved accuracy with the automated picking confirmation systems. The GTP systems bringing the correct product to the operator. They ask for a confirmation of the order, of which pick is allocated to and oftentimes a quantity verification. These systems possess great ability to handle sensitive or delicate products like liquids or glass containers, due to their design and smooth transitions of bins or cartons.
