Products For Warehouse Automation
Our Warehouse Automation Technology & Solutions Include
Goods-to-Person (GTP)
One of the most often used strategies for boosting productivity and relieving congestion is goods-to-person fulfillment. Conveyors, carousels, and vertical lift systems fall under this category. The pace of warehouse picking can be doubled or tripled when GTP systems are used effectively.
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)
A type of GTP fulfillment technology known as AS/RS uses automated systems and tools, including tote shuttles, mini-loaders, and material-carrying vehicles to store and retrieve products or supplies. Applications for high-volume warehouses with limited space frequently use AS/RS systems.
Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
These vehicles travel a predetermined path across the warehouse using magnetic strips, wires, or sensors. AGVs are commonly used in big, straightforward warehouse locations with this navigation scheme and are not ideal for warehouses with a lot of foot traffic and limited space.
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
AMRs, which are more adaptable than AGVs, employ GPS systems to design efficient paths across a particular warehouse. AMRs can safely maneuver in dynamic situations with a lot of human traffic thanks to their sophisticated laser guidance systems, which are used to detect obstructions.
Pick-to-Light and Put-to-Light Systems
These systems tell warehouse pickers where to position or pick up specific items by using mobile barcode scanning equipment synchronized with digital LED displays. In high-volume settings, they can significantly reduce walking, searching, and human error.
Automated Sortation Systems
Sortation is the process of using RFID, barcode scanners, and sensors to detect things on a conveyor system and direct them to a warehouse location. In order fulfillment, businesses employ automated sortation systems for order receiving, picking, packaging, and shipping.
For all your automated warehouse solution needs, V&H Material Handling will provide a variety of conventional and cutting-edge technologies and equipment that are high-quality, adaptable, and effective.
