Automate your Operation

Optimizing warehouse space and picking performance are just some of the benefits that horizontal carousel and vertical carousel systems provide. Traditional picking scenarios require the operators to walk to a location directed by a pick ticket or handheld, pick and confirm the item, place it on a cart and send to shipping. Performance expectations vary for each individual operation, however typical lines produced per operator are limited by the time it take for the operator to walk to the location, pick the product, confirm or scan the item, & place it onto the pick cart. Automated carousels eliminate the walking time, searching for a location, deciding how many items to pick, and presents each unique location once in a batch of orders.

Manual Picking vs. Carousel System

Manual Order Picking Carousel System
Space Requires Aisles between shelving for operators to walk, drive & pass No Aisles are required between equipment
Travel Time Operator Walks to Location Bin rotates Automatically & pre-positions to operator before item is requested
Accuracy Operator Manually checks or scans part Pick-to-light is designed to automatically illuminate location and quantity
Order Methodology Although common parts will exist between multiple orders, the operator picks one order at a time. For example, part # 1234 can reside in 8 orders, sending the operator to the same location 8 times. Carousels group and pick up to 16 orders in one batch. Common items between orders are presented only once. For example, if part # 1234 resides in 8 orders, the bin presents itself once to the operator, and the item is grabbed & sorted via pick-to-light throughout the 8 orders in a single step.

Benefits of Rebuilt Carousels

Carousel systems provide a powerful method for presenting materials when picking small parts. Benefits include:

  • Decreased "touch" time per pick transaction
  • Reduced order processing time
  • Reduced space requirements (vs. shelving systems)
  • Increased capacity within existing building without expensive construction
  • Increased accuracy
  • Reduced order verification costs
  • Streamlined handling
  • Rebuilt, not just sold as used or refurbished

In any scenario, horizontal or vertical carousels can reduce labor requirements, reduce handling and make possible more accurate order filling.
