Call it “goods-to-man,” “product-to-person,” or “goods-to-person” it results in the same thing. Instead of having a person trudge through the warehouse in a giant DC or drive a fork lift up and down aisle to pick the one item that you need, why not bring the good to them? And the next SKU after that, and the next, and the next… This is the premise of goods-to-man automation.
The technologies performing goods-to-man in a distribution center vary across industry and application, but the important takeaway is that these technologies have revolutionized how distribution centers — and supply chains — operate. If you are looking for material-handling technology that yields an impressive ROI, you need to talk to abco automation about goods to man picking.
However the caveat is these technologies don’t work for ever application. every SKU will not work with ever technique. That is the benefit of going with abco automation. We complete a through analysis of your distribution center and help you decide which SKU’s will benefit from goods-to-ma and which would be more cost effective to store and pick another way.
