System for order picking
Highly improved ergonomics - huge reduction
of manpower
The need to reduce heavy, monotonous manual handling in cold
stores and a requirement to rationalise distribution created the
background for a liaison between the companies Univeyor, ABB and
the Arla Foods terminal in Tyrstrup.
The result is a newly developed, very compact and highly efficient
order picking system.3 picking robots run on rails and carry
out automatic picking from conveyors. 1 or 2 crates are picked at
a time and they are placed on order conveyors. Each order conveyor
holds a maximum of 30 crates at a time.
The conveying system is controlled by 2 plc’s with a
comprehensive fault message system. Both flow and picking
operations, storing and ordering of products are carried out by a
PC-based system operating as server for all operations. |
