High throughput rates and continuous product availability – automated pallet racking has many advantages:
Automated order processing reduces the error rate and minimises order throughput times. The turnover rate and picking performance are significantly higher compared to manual processes.
In an automated pallet racking system, goods are stored or retrieved with storage and retrieval machines (SRMs) or fully automated pallet shuttles. Corresponding automated conveyor technology transfers goods to and from the SRMs or shuttles.
Automated pallet racking is a high-density storage system that ensures permanent product availability. Stocktaking is carried out on an ongoing basis through the WMS. This means that stock levels are updated at all times and the exact storage location is known.
