WORLDS FIRST AUTOMATEDITEM PICKING SYSTEM
WINNER LOGISTICA 2012 AWARD
Patent Pending Europe USA China
Introduction
We like to have the opportunity introducing to you the i-Collector a patented intelligent dynamic item-order picking system which can be integrated in both new or existing situations. Extreme suitable for E-Commerce meaning immediate availability of the products, short delivery and high service quality. Despite the apparent high degree of automation, order picking is still one of the most time-consuming and labour intensive activities in the warehouse. The i-Collector reduces your operational costs in the picking zone with 40 to 80%, Non Movements and Localization, Non Picking or Counting mistakes or Backorders, High Speed and faster time to Ship. The i-Collector fully processes the whole order in one operation, Batch-in / Mixed-out or the other way around regardless size, shape or the type of packaging of the item. With the i-Collector labour-intensive systems have become a thing of the past!
This system automatically feeds items as per order requirements to be automatically placed into the delivery totes or boxes and ReadyToShip to customer. The key distinguishing features of the i-Collector are the automatic supply on the input side with automatic item picking on the output side. Remarkable is that it would still be very productive with manual labour input! The system is built using standard industry components resulting in a Green- Line Automation, Low Cost of Ownership and a high ROI. The i-Collector also provides a high capacity in a compact unit ensuring maximum space utilisation, compared with other systems we easily save 40 to 50% floorspace. Multi-Year development process, solid market research, many studies and test cases created the ultimate missing link in warehousing and distribution creating ReadyToShip and resulting overall customer satisfaction.
The fully automated order picking is a very profitable solution for the A and the higher part of the B assortment. The i-Collector can also be used for bringing goods to man. This can be a profitable solution for the lower B assortment and the C assortment. We are not hooked to standard totes 400x600mm. In the i-Collector the items are on a tray with optimized dimensions for the group of products, in this way the i-Collector is a very compact quick system bringing smaller goods to Man or go beyond that to Robot.
The possibilities of the i-Collector are almost limitless.
