Efficient automated goods receiving
Goods receiving is the starting point for all other warehousing activities. It is important to receive products correctly to handle it properly in put-away, storage, order picking and shipping. After unloading, our VISION Warehouse Management System drives identification, checking and registration of the products. Functionality includes returns handling, unexpected goods and repacking. Goods are sent to storage or order picking, or directly to shipping in case of a cross docking process.
With increasing off-shore sourcing, more and more goods are received in containers. Automated sortation can quickly and efficiently sort incoming products by SKU. Depending on product velocity and specific product characteristics goods can be stored on pallets, in cartons, in totes or on trays. Goods can be automatically directed to storage or sent to order picking, minimising manual handling and providing speed and efficiency in replenishment and supply.
La Halle Vivarte implemented an automated goods receiving solution. This provides them with more efficient replenishment of the order picking areas. It facilitates quality assurance, minimises manual handling and improves throughput and working conditions.
Argos implemented a sortation system and pallet high-bay storage at Central Receiving. Containers are unloaded and sorted to SKU by a shoe sorter (POSISORTER) and palletised automatically. Pallets are placed in pallet high-bay storage. This automated goods receiving process offers them significant savings and ensures continuity of supply. It also eliminates much of the manually intensive handling of inbound goods flows.
