Goods-to-man order picking - ODS
Order distribution System (ODS) is a dynamic goods-to-man solution. It is especially strong in business processes where a large numbers of order lines are fulfilled from relatively low numbers of articles. Our QUICKSTORE family of AS/RS systems can be used for storage of product totes or cartons. Totes or cartons are transported by a conveyor system to operators who distribute goods into order totes controlled by put-to-light displays. This effective concept has proven itself in mail order, care and non-food. See Argos, Bakker, Hammesfahr and Picking Farma.
Bakker is selling quality flower bulbs, plants and other products via Internet. Bakker contracted Vanderlande Industries to implement a revolutionary order picking system to fulfill 60,000 orders per day. The system is based on Vanderlande’s Order Distribution System (ODS). The new concept resulted in a huge increase in efficiency. Order pickers can now distribute up to 700 order lines per hour! This highly dynamic operation is controlled by the VISION Logistics Software Suite.
We have broad experience designing and implementing goods-to-man order picking systems.
