Order picking of heavy and bulky items using pick-by-light

Pick-by-light picking of heavy and bulky items

Heavy, large-volume and bulky items are stored economically and efficiently with the MPS picking system and picked on pallets or lattice boxes.

MPS is a goods-to-man system supported by pick-by-light. The WITRON material flow computer controls all the necessary pallet movements from the high-bay warehouse and signals the picking quantities to the employees via pick-by-light displays.

The dynamic pick front is generated order-related by transverse transfer carriages. The placement of the order pallet or order lattice box on the pick front itself takes place centrally between the individual storage pallets. Thus, the walking distances and lifting activities for the employee are kept to a minimum and ergonomic work is possible despite the inhomogeneous range of articles.

It is also possible to pick several customer orders in parallel, both on pallets and in lattice boxes.

Characteristics

• Picking principle: combination of goods-to-man and man-to-goods
• Picking of large-volume, bulky and heavy items as well as packaging units in an automatically loaded picking aisle
• Use of pick-by-light technology
• Continuous, order-dependent and automated provision of the picking goods with the help of transverse transfer cars
• Slow runners: dynamic staging areas
• Fast runners: static staging areas
• Firmly defined picking zones with very short picking routes
