Goods receiving

Goods receiving is the basis for all other warehouse activities. It is critical that products are received correctly in order to handle them appropriately for put-away, storage, order picking or shipping.

After unloading, Vanderlande’s VISION warehouse management system drives the identification, checking and registration of products. The functionality includes handling of returns, unexpected goods and repacking. Goods are directed to storage, order picking or directly for shipping through a cross-docking process.

Depending on product velocity and specific characteristics, goods can be stored either on pallets or trays, and in cartons or totes. They can be automatically directed for storage or order picking, minimizing manual handling and providing speed and efficiency in replenishment and supply.

Several companies, including Camper, Onninen, Argos and NEXT have already trusted Vanderlande to deliver automated goods receiving solutions.
