Order Picking & Sorting System

Main Features

Cart with built-in scale is ideally suited for the most labor-intensive picking work in distribution centers. Contributes to increased productivity by wirelessly communicating with the shipping/receiving management system (IT-Matex III), which verifies quantities picked while simultaneously determining the optimum picking path. Eliminating the need to work with forms such as shipping instructions and minimizing the need for printed labels, this system helps reduce operational costs. Lightweight and compact even with its built-in scales, the cart also excels at navigating aisles.

Weight and quantity can be measured simultaneously

In this video, we introduce the features of this product.

High-precision loadcell

Accurate quantity verification is achieved by adopting a high-performance load cell (internal resolution: 1/30,000; display resolution: 1/3000) to minimize unit weight errors.

Worker motivation function

An animal character on the display changes to indicate per-hour picking performance. This helps workers increase performance in an enjoyable way.

Simultaneous box/loose verification

Box and loose weights can be registered for each PLU according to packing type. Not only does this facilitate simultaneous picking of boxed and loose items, but it helps keep orders together and makes it easy to tell how many items should be removed from a container to fill an order.

Variations

Multi-cart (vertical type)

PKG-4000

Equipped with four scales, this cart makes it possible to pick up to four orders simultaneously. With a width of just 570mm, its compact design allows easy movement past other workers even in narrow aisles.

Multi-cart (front-on type)

PKG-4000F

Equipped with four scales, this cart is designed with smooth loading setting as top priority. It is suitable for use at sites that have wider aisles.

Single cart

PKG-3100

This cart can carry up to three picking boxes in addition to the one that is currently being worked.

Single cart (detachable type)

PKG-3100D

Based on the PKG-3100 single cart, the front part of the cart with it scales can be detached from the rear part that holds the picking boxes. This greatly reduces work required to change picking boxes when the working box becomes full.

FAQ

Aside from eliminating storage for forms, what is the advantage of doing away with paper picking lists?

Time required to produce lists is eliminated, including printing. Errors in product type, packaging, and quantity that result from misreading lists are also reduced. Further, not having to hold a list leaves both hands free for picking.
How much time is needed for charging?

14hours or better (front-on type cart)
* Varies according to manner used and environment.
