What happens when you modernize your fulfillment process? Based on our implementation data, transitioning to an automated picking strategy delivers immediate, measurable impact:
Increase your lines picked per hour by 200% to 300%, allowing you to fulfill more orders faster, even during peak seasonal demand.
Achieve 99.9% picking accuracy. Precision systems virtually eliminate the human errors that cause mispicks, drastically reducing the cost of reverse logistics and customer returns.
Reduce worker travel (walk) time by up to 70%. Instead of paying workers to walk miles across a warehouse, you bring the goods directly to them.
Reclaim maximum footprint by deploying high-density automated warehouse picking technologies that utilize your vertical space, avoiding the need for costly facility expansions.
Effective picking goes beyond just selecting equipment; it involves a holistic analysis of your unique operations. PWD engineers automated warehouse order picking strategies tailored to the complex SKU counts and SLA demands of your industry:
Effortlessly handle massive, diverse SKU profiles, unpredictable order volumes, and fast-turnaround DTC (Direct-to-Consumer) shipping requirements.
We take a completely unbiased, data-driven approach to system design. We analyze your existing equipment, processes, and layout to ensure a flawless integration.
We analyze your actual throughput data, SKU velocity, and order complexity to determine if pick-to-order (single order) or batch picking methodologies make the most mathematical sense.
As an independent integrator, we select the exact automated warehouse picking technologies that align perfectly with your budget and ROI priorities. Learn more about our consulting & design process.
We manage the entire build, ensuring seamless software integration with your WMS/WCS and strict compliance with CEMA and OSHA safety standards.
We provide comprehensive operator training and post-go-live optimization, acting as your single point of accountability long after the system is running. See our preventative maintenance services
Because we are an agnostic vendor-neutral integrator, we integrate a wide array of hardware and software to solve your specific labor scarcity and throughput challenges:
The gold standard for eliminating walk time. Automated shuttles or robots retrieve inventory and deliver it directly to an ergonomic operator station.
High-density vertical lift modules (VLMs), cube-based storage, and horizontal carousels that maximize space and deliver items with pinpoint accuracy.
Flexible robotic fleets that assist workers in zone picking or handle the transportation of picked totes to the packing lines.
Pick-to-light and put-to-light systems that use visual cues to guide operators, accelerating batch picking and drastically reducing selection errors.
Automated networks that seamlessly transport picked orders through the facility, bypassing unnecessary zones to speed up the order cycle time.
Choosing Precision Warehouse Design means partnering with material handling experts committed to revolutionizing your warehouse operations. We offer holistic optimization — extending beyond just equipment selection to include complete warehouse automation, layout, and software integration.
Our unbiased approach means our only priority is delivering the right system for your business model. You get a single point of contact, ensuring a smooth, successful implementation without vendor finger-pointing.
If labor shortages, slow pick rates, and inaccurate orders are draining your profitability, it’s time to upgrade. Discover how a custom-engineered automated warehouse picking system will give you the speed and scalability you need.
