Robotic Distribution System (RDS)

Ideal for High Inventory Turnover and High SKUs

The RDS automatically receives cases in from manufacturing and picks orders on demand to the dock, eliminating all material handling labour and equipment from the time a box is filled until it is loaded into the truck.

If your inventory typically turns in less than 2 weeks, the Robotic Distribution System is an excellent receiving, picking and palletizing solution. RDS is best suited for situations with over 100 SKUs and a medium rate of throughput (70 CPM and less).

How it works

Cases are randomly received, singulated and scanned for product SKU by the RDS
Product is retrieved by the end effector and placed into a temporary storage grid position in the array
Like-product is stacked in the grid position, until that grid position is filled
Inventory is tracked and maintained by the RDS’ built-in inventory management system
Electronic picking instructions from the customer’s business system are received by the gantries
Single or multiple cases are picked by each gantry to fulfill order requirements
Picked product is conveyed to the dock for sequential trailer loading
