MOPS MODULAR ORDER PICKING SYSTEM
MOPS: MODULAR ORDER PICKING SYSTEM
MOPS is the picking system for the fully automated creation of mixed pallets.
The single packages belonging to the initial mono-reference pallet are divided using a depalletizer and then sent to a storage system.
The miniload system extracts the items from the warehouse and directs them to Synchron, which creates the sequence requested by Best Fit software. The items are then directed to an automatic palletizer based on the optimum composition of the client’s (mixed) pallet determined by the Best Fit software.
The system allows complete data traceability. It follows packages step by step and maintains logical data and physical data parallelism across the entire life cycle of the package.
MOPS can deal with a large range of different products (over 95% of products managed within large-scale distribution). Packages are handled without support trays, so the number of items that can be managed through MOPS is very variable: from a couple hundred to a few thousand items.
APPLICATIONS
MOPS is well suited to the food & beverage, retail and E-commerce industries, which are characterised by an elevated number of SKUs and high rotation
It can be used in different temperature conditions within product warehouses
STRENGTHS
- Unique technology: the package is handled and stored without the need for trays or other supports
- Modularity: the single modules can be “moved” to create the best specific solution for the customer
- Control: System Logistics is the in-house supplier of the main technologies that compose the system (machinery, hardware, software, engineering)
TECHNOLOGY
- Depalletization: the robot dismantles pallets by layer and separates the packages
- Pallet storage: stacker cranes, FRS (Fast Rotation Storage), shuttles
- Pallet transport: SVL (System Vehicle Loops)
- Package storage: miniload system
- Package transport: conveyor belts without the need for support
- Synchroniser/Sequencer: Synchron
- Palletization: automated through a single/double robot or manually-assisted
