Single-tier, paperless order assembling and dispatching
at a publications logistics center
The light-weight handling system carries the open box trays through
the consignment store. With the aid of a pick-by-light system, the
individual articles are loaded into their respective boxes at the
various depots. Fully automated vertical conveyors interconnect the various stories of the building.
Two-tier paperless assembling of boxes at a carrier-operated
distribution center
A pick-by-light system signals which boxes are to be placed on the
takeoff belt. The latter forwards the boxes to the shipping area,
where they are automatically sorted according to order. Takeoff
belts from four different order-assembling lanes on two different
stories merge into a single sort-for-shipping conveyor.
Picking & placing and shipment
of cartons in a pharmaceutical industry business
In this pick-and-place system, the order
cartons are discharged by different pick-and-place zones and loaded
with the order items. This process is supported by a pick-by-light
system. The completed cartons are then run past a shipment control
scale prior to package closure.
