Cimcorp showcases its robotic order fulfillment solutions

Beginning on Monday at ProMatDX, Cimcorp Automation is sharing its robotic order fulfillment systems, using on-demand demos. Created to help warehouses and DCs overcome an array of operational challenges—including demanding lead times, labor shortages, narrow storage space and seasonal variations in order volumes—the systems include case, crate and layer picking.

For instance, Cimcorp is presenting its newest case picking solution, which integrates an AS/RS with automated case picking, along with mixed case palletizing—all managed by a warehouse control system. At the same time, it is also displaying its MultiPick, a crate-picking solution that combines buffer storage and order picking into one continuous operation. As a result, it’s able to handle a high volume of products that are stored in industry-standard crates, totes and trays within a high-density storage area.

In addition, the company is featuring the Layer Pick system, which uses gantry robots—each of which are equipped with a vacuum-picking head and clamp gripper—to pick products that are stored in layered quantities. Offering users a seamless end-to-end picking solution, it’s especially ideal for facilities, including third-party logistics providers, that pick more than 1,000 layers a day from inventories of 50 to 500 SKUs.

“For facilities struggling to maintain operational efficiency with manual order picking, automated solutions like Cimcorp’s offer an optimal, flexible solution that can not only meet one’s present needs, but also scale for future growth and fluctuations in consumer demand,” said Derek Rickard, director of sales at Cimcorp.
