For repetitive kitting operations, where the maximum degree of synchronization with the production lines is everything, automatic storage systems are the ideal solution.
When traditional storage systems are used in a raw material warehouse, it is common for operators to incur great physical effort associated with activities such as: getting up, bending over, reaching for a material stored high or at the bottom of a shelf, etc.
This situation not only implies a high rate of fatigue, but also a high risk of injuries or accidents, so a highly recommended alternative for these cases is the implementation of automated warehouses.
How do automated storage systems increase staff safety?
Automatic storage systems are specially designed to provide a safe and ergonomic work environment during kitting operations.
By operating under the "Good to person" principle, automatic storage solutions bring the materials required within the production lines to the ergonomically correct height for the operator, that is, the so-called "Golden Zone" (area between waist and shoulders).
In addition, this type of equipment also has multiple security mechanisms that protect both workers and stored materials.
In this way, workers can carry out their kitting tasks safely and efficiently, significantly reducing the risks of injuries and accidents along with their related problems (absenteeism, compensation, etc.).
Thus, with automated warehouses it is possible:
- Increase the productivity of kitting processes by 200% to 600%
- Minimize the margins of error thanks to the integration of Pick to Light systems and its intelligent control software
- Comply with the norms of load restrictions for the operator
- Optimize the workforce
