What is it?
Stores Automation enables quicker, more precise organisation, collection and packing of items in your warehouse, through a combination of sophisticated software, robotics and conveyor belts.
Why would we need it?
In the rush to transform some of the more glamorous parts of the factory, the simple matter of logistics can sometimes get overlooked – but organising components at the start of your production line and how completed items are distributed at the end often creates dramatic efficiencies.
What are the expected benefits and potential challenges?
Stores automation reduces errors, speeding up and simplifying the process of getting the right item to the right place at the right time. It needn’t be an entirely automated system – manual picking processes can also be optimised using similar software and processes, and some manufacturers employ a combination of both approaches.
Designing a bespoke system depends on an understanding of your factory’s layout in order to pick, convey and sort items in the most efficient way possible, using the right hardware for the job. Talk to us about arranging a site visit for some no-frills advice about the approach that’s likely to work best for you.
