Dematic is set to unveil a manual warehouse picking system, which it reckons can boost picking performance to some 400 cases per hour per picker, at the Logistics Link North show in October.
The Voice + Laser Trucks system, which will make its debut at the Doncaster show, is designed to upgrade pallet trucks with the latest in industrial grade laser guidance systems, automating repetitive non-value-adding transport tasks so as to free up warehouse pickers to focus solely on picking.
Routeing plans can be updated as requirements change on the Laser Trucks, to help maintain operational flexibility, and they can also be used alongside manual trucks.
