Picking C Movers
So why invest the time in finding the best best pick solutions for the “C” movers or slow-movers in your distribution center? Although they are the slowest movers, they represent about 50% of the SKUs in your warehouse. They are characterized by their low volume and their low cube.
Product-to-person systems take advantage of their slow movement and their relatively low cubic volume. By “pulling the weeds,” those SKUs you do not often select, you can get them out-of-the-way to concentrate the fast-movers in a high-performance pick area in the warehouse.
abco automation has a great deal of experience with product to person technologies. Our time spent with European manufacturers has given a unique insight into when and how to use product to person as pick solutions that can yield a great R.O.I.
Product-to-person technologies vary widely,with a host of them on the market today. You can choose: carousel systems, shuttle systems and robotic systems coupled with ergonomic workstations. The great thing is that as a system integrator as opposed to a manufacturer abco automation is free to cherry pick the best solutions for you and not be beholden to any manufacturers.
