In a Goods-to-Person Warehouse, pickers remain at their workstations while a software-driven Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) retrieves, conveys and delivers required SKUs directly to the order picker’s workstation in a designated SKU donor tote or tray.
It uses a series of robots to move inventory shelves and pallets to the picking station, completely eliminating the need for pickers to move around, improving the accuracy of the picking, and reducing labour intensity. Compared to manual picking, the picking efficiency is improved by 2 to 3 times.
