Goods to Robot by Rack
A Warehouse Control System (WCS) seamlessly coordinates interfaces between the customer system, mixed palletizing software, and fleet management, while also organizing an interim storage facility.
Depalletizing takes place directly into racks within the system.
A robot cell, included a gripper, handles the depalletizing of products from the racks and palletizing onto target pallets, alongside AMRs and a fleet manager.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Orders transmitted from the customer system to the Reis Robotics WCS are swiftly processed.
- AMRs efficiently transport multiple source pallets to the depalletizing zone.
- Products are placed into racks within the depalletizing zone.
- Racks filled with products are either stored in the interim storage or transported to the robot cell(s).
- From depalletized products, a new mixed target pallet is created.
- After the depalletizing racks are returned to storage or depalletizing for refilling.
- The next set of racks is seamlessly brought into the robot cell(s).
- While one rack is being transported in the robot cell, robot continues its tasks uninterrupted.
- The completed target pallet is transported by an AMR to an automatic stretch wrapper and then to a pick-up point, ready for shipment to customers.
- The key distinction between the Goods to Robot by Pallet and Goods to Robot by Rack solutions lies in the smaller interim storage and a more efficient availability of smaller quantities of different products in a rack. The Goods to Robot by Rack solution is ideal for picking and mixed palletizing of slow movers.
