Honeywell demonstrates depalletizer and AS/RS

Honeywell (Booth S618) is exhibiting several technologies, each of which is being deployed at DCs and warehouses around the world.

The Smart Flexible Depalletizer and an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) are enhancing productivity while reducing operations’ reliability on employees.
Able to process single- and mixed-SKU pallets in any pattern or sequence, the Smart Flexible Depalletizer doesn’t require any human supervision.

“It can remove up to 600 packages an hour from a pallet and then place them on a conveyor belt or other equipment to ensure safe handling,” said Keith Fisher, president of Honeywell Intelligrated. “As a result of its capacities, it increases operators’ efficiency by 30%, when compared to a manual operation.”
Honeywell’s AS/RS uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to enhance the speed of order receipt, processing and filling capabilities, while boosting accuracy (to up to 99.9%).

“In addition, it enables operators to manage more than 20,000 SKUs, while utilizing high-speed shuttles, thereby decreasing their need for labor and enhancing their space too,” Fisher added.
