Goods To Person Solutions
GTP solution to maximize efficiency around workstations for enhanced productivity and labor/effort reduction in logistics warehouses.
Facing any of these challenges?
-
Chronic labor shortage (urgent need for labor reduction measures)
-
Fluctuating volume of goods
-
The work within the workstation is taking a long time.
-
In large warehouses, the walking distance for picking workers is long and the burden is heavy.
-
Eliminate shipping errors (thorough measures against operational mistakes).
What Can Be Improved
-
01
Eliminate errors by improving the GTP workstation area.
By combining a transport robot with a picking system (Projection Picking System（PPS）, when the robot arrives at the activity station, the Projection Picking System（PPS） clearly indicates the entrance and the items to be picking to the activity , improving activity efficiency and reducing activity.

02
Robotics x Projection Picking System（PPS） integration system for labor saving and efficiency
Transport robots automatically transport products Rack , and picking and sorting activity are navigated by Projection Picking System（PPS） (Product sorting ). This eliminates the activity to walk or search, significantly improving activity efficiency and reducing human error. As a result, warehouse operations become faster and more accurate.
-
03
Improve work accuracy with poka-yoke tailored to the work environment.
By combining image recognition and sensor technology (2D/3D sensing) with the picking system, you can create a fool proof function suited to the site, which will achieve high Productivity and accuracy.
-
04
Flexible navigation of work procedures
Projection Picking System（PPS） allows for real-time display and navigation of activity instructions and information. It can project product information such as item name, Quantity, images, and audio, as well as supplementary information such as warnings, using a projector.
-
05
Achieve fast and meticulous work with a combination of robots and manual labor.
By utilizing transport robots to efficiently and quickly transport goods, and by using Pick to Light System , the SAS shutter sorting activity , and Projection Picking System（PPS） for manual sorting , damage during handling is reduced, improving overall activity quality.
-
06
Adjusting station staffing allows for flexible response to fluctuations in logistics
Even when there are fluctuations in logistics due to the season or campaign measures, we can set up multiple activity stations, grasp the situation of the logistics fluctuations, and respond flexibly by adjusting the staff at the activity stations.
Proposal Examples
AIOI conducts logistics analysis on-site, identifies issues, and proposes optimal solutions to our customers.
E-commerce industry Achieve the rationalization of picking and sorting operations.
Automation reduces activity , and Projection Picking System（PPS） with fool proof -proofing) function prevents wrong shipment.
Challenge
-
In e-commerce, there is a wide variety of small quantities and a high number of shipments.
-
Reduce the burden on workers and increase productivity.
-
Although automated guided vehicles (AGVs) transport product shelves to workstations, it is not possible to attach display units to the moving shelves.
-
Picking errors are unacceptable in the B2C business model.
Proposal
-
Combining AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) and Projection Picking System（PPS） ( Power Processing System) improves Productivity.
-
Set up individual workstations for handling both inbound and outbound tasks in the same area.
-
Implement a system where the shutter assort system (SAS) directs the sorting locations, making it simple to sort items into open gates after picking.
Effectiveness
-
Since AGVs automatically transport items, the effort of walking for workers is reduced, and there is no need to memorize the product shelves, thus reducing the burden on workers.
-
When an AGV arrives at the picking station, a picking station display (Projection Picking System（PPS） system is used that shows instructions directly on the Rack indicating which Rack to picking and how many units to pick, creating a system that anyone can easily understand.
-
By following the projected instructions for picking and placing items into the opened shutters, workers can perform tasks without having to think, eliminating unnecessary movements and improving work efficiency.
E-commerce industry Accelerating productivity improvements and labor/effort reduction in logistics warehouses.
Even in facilities where AGVs have been introduced, focusing on the tasks after the products arrive at the workers' stations to improve productivity.
Challenge
-
It is difficult to secure workers due to a chronic labor shortage.
-
The long walking distance of pickers in large warehouses.
-
Fluctuations in volume of goods.
-
Even in sites where AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) are implemented, there are challenges with the tasks after the goods arrive at the worker's location, leading to picking errors due to manual work.
-
Handling small items and daily miscellaneous goods results in finely divided shelves, making the search process time-consuming and leading to decreased productivity.
Proposal
-
Due to the demand for increased productivity, labor-saving, and reduction of manpower, the introduction of AGV robots is being considered.
-
Improve the workstations around the GTP (Goods-to-Person) system by connecting AGV robots and people, introducing a system that prevents workers from having to think and avoids mistakes.
Effectiveness
-
Since AGVs automatically transport goods, the labor of workers walking inside large warehouses can be reduced.
-
When the AGV arrives at the picking station, it uses a picking point Projection Picking System（PPS） to illuminate the opening from which to retrieve the product from the Rack, providing clear information and navigation to the activity.
-
activity picking according to the Projection Picking System（PPS） instructions, but if they make a mistake, they are warned with sound and light, which helps reduce errors.
BtoB store-specific Shipping sorting/BtoC order-specific sorting Efficient sorting through careful activity by robots and humans
Accurate activity is achieved with transport robots and the latest sorting systems. Transport robots efficiently and quickly transport goods, and the shutter sorting system SAS and Projection Picking System（PPS） maximize the efficiency of sorting activity.
Challenge
-
Fragile items and items that lose their shape require careful handling.
-
We want to automate, but fixed equipment makes it difficult to make changes
-
Logistics fluctuations are large due to seasonality and campaign measures
Proposal
-
The sorting are quickly transported from the input port to the DAS station by a transport robot, and sorted delicately by activity.
-
The number of activity under the chute can be adjusted according to the wave motion, allowing for flexible response.
-
We have a variety of sorting systems for bulk Shipping and case Shipping .
Effectiveness
-
Labor saving and activity burden reduced by introducing transport robots
-
This allows for flexible response, such as adjusting DAS staffing after grasping the logistics fluctuation situation!
-
The sorting process is done activity, reducing damage caused by handling of luggage.
-
The layout can be changed even after installation, allowing for flexible response without the burden of installing anchors.
