As margins fall, the need to reduce shipping and handling costs means that bulk distribution continues to offer significant advantages. Yet with a lack of flexible solutions, case picking remains one of the most strenuous tasks in the warehouse.
Handling heavy products is one of the biggest safety challenges in the warehouse. But, in order to get shipments out on time, you need operators to be working quickly. Inevitably, this leads to more mistakes, more serious accidents, and more money spent on insurance pay-outs and missed orders. AMR-enabled case picking aims to lower work intensity, increase productivity, and ensure worker safety.
Instead of an operator dragging a hand pallet truck or hopping on and off a ride-on forklift, AMR-enabled case picking means cases are picked and moved more quickly.
When your operators are tired, it’s easier to make mistakes. Reducing labor intensity and automating heavy payload movement means your workers are fresh, focused, and efficient.
Separating the case carrier from the operator and creating zones result in less walking, less dragging, and more picking. That means more work done in less time.
