Goods-to-person technology optimizes multi-channel fulfillment
Automating rote tasks inside a warehouse increases picking accuracy and speed and frees workers to focus on other, higher-value tasks. Robots can carry heavier loads at greater speeds without risk of injury and save workers from losing time walking around a warehouse and looking for the correct bays. Warehouses that integrate automation also see significant increases in storage density, sometimes as high as 150% compared to manual processes. This supports greater SKU availability without sacrificing order fill speeds.
From planning a greenfield facility design to a modernization project for an existing warehouse, Swisslog’s automation expertise ensures you choose the best robotic solutions to complement your existing labor force, footprint and fulfillment needs.
