Overview
The Dematic Automated Piece Pick System for Low to Mid-Range Order Volume Rates uses Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) to store and transport inventory for order assembly operations. The system picks, packs, and ships orders while making real-time adjustments to the daily variations in order profiles typical with multichannel applications.

System description
The Dematic Automated Piece Pick System for Low to Mid-Range Order Volume Rates has a modular, standardized design that provides consistent and predictable order picking performance. The execution software synchronizes labor, inventory, and an AMR fleet to assemble orders with speed and accuracy.
System management
The Dematic WES software synchronizes the labor, inventory, and AMRs to assemble orders with speed and accuracy. The entire process is optimized from put-away and storage to order picking and packing.
Dematic WES accommodates the quantity of SKUs and order volume required. Order management, planning and execution strategies ensure efficient and responsive fulfillment. SKU storage location and order management strategies are included to optimize the order picking process. Priority orders are inserted to the top of the queue. Picking multiple orders at each workstation simultaneously increases throughput. The software is scalable and can be expanded or re-configured for future change. Scan validation ensures order accuracy.
