viastore Systems, a leading material handling automation systems and software company, discussed the benefits of starting small when automating warehouses and distribution centers. Adam Smelker, viastore customer service sales engineer noted, “Often, when thinking of warehouse automation, what comes to mind is a lights-out, fully-automated facility that accounts for every item in inventory and removes people from the operation. In reality, however, material handling automation can be applied incrementally, enhancing only the specific processes to maximize return on investment.”
Automating a warehouse has four levels of increased complexity. At the lowest cost end of the spectrum are systems that improve conventional picking. Examples include warehouse management systems (WMS), radio-frequency (RF), and voice-directed picking systems. Other basic solutions include mechanized solutions that automate the horizontal movement of products and reduce labor handling requirements (like conveyor, pick modules, stretch wrap applicators, label print-and-apply, and layer picking equipment).
