Zone picking – Minimize walking, maximize picking efficiency

Optimizing processes and improving productivity is an important aspect for every Warehouse and their operators. Inther’s zone picking system transports order totes and –boxes to the operators working in different picking zones. This minimizes walking distance and enables the operators to keep their focus on the picking activities. In addition, the totes and cartons are only transported to those zones where items need to be picked for the totes and boxes. All other zones, for which no picking is needed, are passed. This reduces the order throughput times tremendously. Furthermore, by transporting totes or cartons over the system, the picking can often be done directly in the shipping unit. This ‘pick & pack’ principle is a great way to reduce packing activities later on in the process.

Based on your requirements Inther designs and delivers the optimal system for your operation.
