Automated Picking System
Automated Picking System is one of the solutions for warehouse automation. The Intelligent and Automated Picking System enables automatic high-density storage, which helps reducing warehouse rental cost and labor cost.
Revolutionising Warehouse Efficiency with Automated Picking Systems
Automated Picking Systems redefine warehouse operations through state-of-the-art robotics, such as robotic arms and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), and technology like AI-driven software to increase efficiency. They simplify retrieval and inventory processing, reducing labour costs by up to 50% and improving accuracy by as much as 99% in some warehouses.
Ideal for e-commerce and retail environments, they adapt to various workflows, such as batch picking and order consolidation. This makes them an excellent solution for businesses looking to improve order fulfilment.
What are Automated Picking Systems?
Automated Picking Systems are technologies that help make order fulfilment faster by automating the process of getting items from storage.
Instead of workers manually searching for products, robotic arms and conveyor belts can find and move items from storage to packing areas more efficiently.
Traditionally, order picking was a manual process that led to mistakes and delays.
Now, robotic systems handle these tasks, making the process faster and more reliable.

Why Automated Picking Systems Are Effective?
Automated Picking Systems help solve major supply chain issues, such as the need for faster order fulfilment and a lack of available workers.
Advanced AI and machine learning are used to determine the best picking routes by analysing order data, inventory locations, and warehouse layout. This means the robots can find the most efficient paths, which saves time and improves accuracy. By automating these tasks, warehouses can also save on labour costs and improve their profitability.
One major benefit of these systems is their scalability. For example, the Picking Spider System can adjust to meet peak demand while maintaining accuracy. High-density storage strategies, such as stacking inventory vertically, help maximise space and make the warehouse up to six times more efficient.

The intelligent and automated system is comprised of 3 modules:
1. Rail set and Tote Bins
- Stackable tote bins and modular rail set allow warehouse space to be utilized to its full capacity
2. Robots
- Retrieve and store any tote bin from top to bottom
- The quantity of picking robot will affect the throughput performance
3. Integrated Software System
- Warehouse Management System (WMS): Manage all information of the warehouse; Send and handle order information from clients to PMS
- Product Management System (PMS): Synchronize inventory information to online
- Process Control System (PCS): Provide device instruction for API connection
Picking Spider System (PSS) is a newly launched solution for warehouse automation, which can handle all operations starting from storage to picking and packing.
