Next-gen picking
06 September 2022
GEEK+ RECENTLY launched the PopPick goods-to-person solution.
In warehouse settings, Geek+ picking robots carry movable racks from storage locations to PopPick workstations. The target totes, which are already stored on the movable racks, are picked automatically by the station and presented to the operator for easy picking.
As an all-in-one solution, PopPick creatively combines picking and storage of totes, shelves, and pallets and provides the warehouse with high storage capacity, high throughput, and great flexibility.
This is the industry’s first dual-armed picking station, which means that the PopPick workstation has two picking points to select individual totes and present them to human pickers. This advanced technology increases warehouse picking efficiency to up to 650 totes per hour and boosts throughput capacity by a factor of two.
Every warehouse owner tries to increase space utilisation by maximising the storage. capacity. PopPick provides high-density storage with 12 columns of totes stored in rows that have only 20mm gaps between totes.
Similar to other Geek+ smart warehouse solutions, the PopPick solution is also powered by artificial intelligence and algorithms. Its dynamic slotting supports automatic unmanned operations based on order forecasts analysed during idle time. With totes arranged in the optimal position, the PopPick hit rate reaches 10 totes per move.
The PopPick station can handle piece picking, whole tote picking, and pallet picking with small, medium, and large goods. This high compatibility makes it easily adaptable to different industries.
