Dematic introduces suite of intra-logistics systems

At a press conference on Monday, Dematic (Booth 1203) featured a range of solutions for factories, warehouses and distribution centers. The new suite, powered by performance-optimizing software, encompasses receiving, storage, order fulfillment, buffer staging, packing and palletizing.

John Baysore, CEO of Dematic North America, said the solutions can be tailored to a wide range of needs, from light- or voice-directed put walls capable of 200 to 400 picks per hour to robotic each-picking systems that achieve 1,200 picks per hour. “These operational improvement methods can be applied in many configurations and capacities, from small point solutions to large integrated systems,” Baysore said. “Because these solutions are modular, flexible and scalable, we can help small companies become big ones.”

Each solution, including very narrow aisle AGVs, shuttles and automated mixed case palletizing, is managed and controlled by Dematic iQ performance optimizing software. Baysore also emphasized Dematic’s service presence in 67 cities, up from 55 last year. Dematic aftermarket service has achieved a first-time repair rate of 94%, he said.
