AIRPICK

The flexibility to handle fluctuating demand

E-commerce and omnichannel warehouses and distribution centers (DCs) are challenged to fulfil thousands of orders with ever-increasing service level requirements. However, it is difficult to accommodate time-critical processes in a DC that may not be optimized to meet these requirements. Unpredictable demand and seasonal trends call for flexibility. Warehouses and DCs must cope with the changing – and increasing – variety of stored products and order volumes. They also need to efficiently handle the expanding number of returns.

As part of our next generation of scalable solutions – evolutions – Vanderlande offers AIRPICK, which seamlessly integrates innovative systems, intelligent software and life-cycle services.

AIRPICK is an order fulfilment solution for General Merchandise, and Fashion, pure e-commerce and omnichannel companies designed to maximize the picking efficiency of a solution based on manual item picking.
The core of this solution is Vanderlande’s AIRTRAX pocket sorter system to sort large efficient batches of items to individual orders. This system ensures a smooth and efficient order fulfilment process and enables an efficient handling of returned items, regardless of the product (boxes, apparel, hanging goods), order size and is scalable with the required throughput.

AIRPICK offers:

• efficient picking
• smart handling of returned goods
• easy processing of varying order lead-times
• flexibility in product handling
