For automation issues, there are different types of technologies. Within these, there are some that allow you to give more flexibility and others that are described as less flexibility.
In the second classification there are conveyor systems, since these do not allow you to easily change the layout, however it is flexible in terms of capabilities, which gives flexibility to the operation in matters of increased production and increased orders moved to the day.
To achieve this, it is essential to implement the conveyors in the assortment part and in the shipping area to implement a conveyor system, which combines transportation, diversion mechanisms, controls and software thus allowing to classify medium and high product flows under different criteria according to your needs.
Another way to see the flexibility of these systems is with the implementation of AGVs, which provide the ability to perform unit movements of various types of products giving you versatility and reliability.
There are different types of AGVs that can provide you with flexibility because their structure can be changed depending on the demand or production you have; removing or adding workstations or robots.
Thus, an AGV can give you greater mobility according to the operations you are having and according to how you require it, in addition to giving you a higher rate, adapting to different types of processes of your Distribution Center.
In this way, conveyor systems will obtain absolute precision in addition to obtaining flexibility in terms of the capabilities you require in your Distribution Center. On the other hand, AGVs will give you the flexibility to make any modification without spending weeks on changes and their implementation, unlike traditional systems and to efficiently manage traffic control.
