GRAND RAPIDS ? Dematic, an integrator and supplier of logistics systems for factories, warehouses and distribution centers around the world, has partnered with Kollmorgen, a manufacturer of driverless control technology, to provide a new order fulfillment solution called LaserTrucks+.
Dematic will utilize Kollmorgen Pick-n-Go laser guidance and vehicle control systems as a core component of the new Dematic LaserTrucks+ order fulfillment solution. Dematic LaserTrucks+ is a complete, seamlessly integrated, voice-directed and driverless laser-guided pallet truck solution that dramatically increases case picking productivity by eliminating non-productive steps.
?We selected Kollmorgen for this important module of the LaserTrucks+ solution because of their engineering savvy and expertise, as well as their advanced laser guidance and control technology that provides the robust performance demanded by our customers,? says Frank Rossi, Manager, NA Business Development for Dematic.
Benny Forsman, Business Unit Manager for Kollmorgen, added, ?We are pleased to support Dematic with our complete Pick-n-Go system. The scalable and field-proven technology is an ideal complement to the Dematic LaserTrucks + system by freeing the experts at Dematic to focus on what they do best – putting all of the pieces together to deliver a truly leading edge picking solution that will improve productivity and reduce costs for their customers.?
LaserTrucks+: Maximizing Case Picking Productivity
By eliminating the non-value added tasks associated with a typical case picking operation, LaserTrucks+ has the potential to double picking productivity, while retaining the flexibility of manual systems. At the start of an order, the LaserTrucks+ delivers a new pallet directly to the picker. Further optimizing picker productivity and accuracy is achieved through integrated Voice Picking technology. The Voice Picking feature enables the picker?s hands to remain free to promote faster and more ergonomically-friendly picking. The pallet truck automatically moves with the Voice-equipped picker as they verbally confirm picks, and transports the completed pallet to shipping while the next LaserTruck brings a new pallet to the picker. The case picking productivity increases as operators are freed up to focus solely on picking.
Software Integration
The Dematic Warehouse Control System integrates LaserTrucks+ with a WMS or ERP. It provides real time management and complete transparency of your LaserTrucks+ operation, including management information and decision support, order prioritization, order status, productivity statistics and reports, and workload analysis and reports. Everything required to optimize, manage and control the system is provided.
