  • Pick-to-light, voice picking
  • Goods-to-person, AMRs
  • Cartonization packaging automation
  • Document automation
  • Dimensioners, scanners
  • Scales, checkweighers

 

  • Print and apply labeling
  • Sortation and conveyance
  • Multi-carrier, ERP software

Sort

Manage and control sort lanes. Allows the configuration of all sort rules, logs any sort errors and package exceptions.

 

 

Pack

Associate picked orders to their respective cartons, so they can be identified and managed along the automation.

Ship

Synchronize outbound shipping, for automated scan, weigh, dim, print-apply manifesting systems, in connection with TMS software. Log all shipped orders throughout the process.

Confirm

Sends all order shipment confirmation statuses to customer’s ERP, WMS or other TMS software database.

 

 

Insert

Manage document automation systems. Allow the configuration of pack slips, track document insert process.

Verify

All order information printed and inserted or applied to the outside of the carton can be verified with a barcode read for ultimate order integrity.

Machine Control

Industry Standard Compatibility

Machine control is provided by Allen Bradley PLC, which is easily expandable to manage additional automation. Its open architecture means that end users are able to support themselves if desired. Larger projects can have multiple 480V control panels and multiple PLCs. Smaller, stand-alone systems that plug into a single 120V wall outlet are also available.

  • Add diverts, merges, etc.
  • Open, standard PLC architecture
  • Devices are IP-addressable for instant, world-class support
  • Easily modified and expanded; smaller systems can grow without a large reinvestment
  • EWON remote support router included (eliminates need to go through VPN)
