From pallet to shipping of single items

“Mastering complexity – intelligent design for the future.” In keeping with the motto of this year''s LogiMAT in Stuttgart (February 10–12), on stand 1H51 in hall 1 Kardex Remstar is presenting four applications which cover the intralogistics process from goods intake to the storage, picking, consolidation, and shipping of small orders. The four stations are intelligently linked with the transport system supplied by technology partner Servus Intralogistics.

Kardex Remstar is meeting the market trend towards growing product diversity, small orders, and shorter delivery times with standardized applications which significantly speed up turnaround times for orders in the areas of retail and production. At LogiMAT, the industry trade fair, the intralogistics supplier will use four stations to demonstrate how single items can be effectively managed.

Intelligent linking

At the first station “Goods intake” pallets loaded with packaging units containing one kind of product are received with the help of Kardex Remstar''s own Power Pick Global warehouse management software. MMove-CrossDrive then transports the goods simply and safely to where they will be stored. The universal vehicle for transporting pallets and stillages is the latest product from Kardex Mlog, another division of the Kardex Group along with Kardex Remstar. At station two “Repackaging” the packaging units are stored in the Shuttle XP 500 storage lift from Kardex Remstar and repackaged in order boxes or placed individually on two trays waiting simultaneously in the (double) access opening. The autonomous ARC3 transport robots from Servus Intralogistics transfer the goods to further stations. They pick up the order boxes and transport them to the next station with pinpoint accuracy via a ceiling-mounted transport system.

Faster retrieval of single items

High picking rates are demonstrated at station three “Picking single items.” This is where Kardex Remstar will be presenting the latest member of its light goods product family, which stores small quantities of small components in boxes or on trays and retrieves them at high speed for picking individual orders. Up to 500 picks per picking station and hour are possible with the new solution, while also taking up minimal storage space.
