What is Case Picking?

Case picking is a process that involves the use of automation to pick individual items from bulk storage and pack them into cases or containers. This application is commonly used in industries such as e-commerce, retail, and logistics, where there is a high volume of order fulfillment and need for efficient and accurate picking and packing operations.

Order Fulfillment with Manual or Automated Case Picking

Manual or automated case picking solutions are geared toward high SKU traffic, high throughput, and significant expansion. Designed to select and retrieve cases or containers of products from storage locations for order fulfillment or distribution, case picking systems can streamline the picking process, improve efficiency, and reduce labor costs.

Adaptec’s experienced team of engineers and technicians combined with our broad product offering and custom integration skills, allow us to offer you a tailored solution for your high-volume order fulfillment needs.

Advantages

01

Increase product accessibility and facilitate rotation.

02

Maximize facility space – store and pick everything from single pieces to full pallets in one integrated system.

03

Customized design to meet your unique requirements.

Manual

Worker travels to the product
Use when volume of product is low
Use when configuration change is frequent or imminent

Automated

Product moves to the worker
Use when higher costs can be offset by volume and greater reductions in labor needed
Three automated case picking systems:
- Powered conveyor storage/sort system
- Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS)
- Automated case or item-pick system

Key Components

Item recognition and localization

Utilizing vision systems, such as cameras or sensors, to identify and locate individual items in bulk storage.

Robots and End-of-Arm Tooling

Robotic arms equipped with custom EOAT are used to pick identified items from bulk storage.

Conveyor and Sorting Systems

After items are picked, robots place them onto conveyor systems for further processing, transporting items to packing areas or staging areas for consolidation.

Packing algorithms and Case Configuration

Advanced packing algorithms and software are used to determine optimal arrangement of items within cases.

Case Closing and Labeling

Once items are packed into cases, a robotic system can automatically close and seal the cases, applying labels or tags for tracking and identification purposes.

Integration with Warehouse Management System (WMS)

Robotic case picking and packing systems are typically integrated with a WMS or Order Management System (OMS). This allows for real-time order processing, inventory management, and communication between robotic system and other parts of warehouse/fulfillment center.
