Overview

Our customer needed to increase their throughput and quality to an existing system to keep up with client demand, Orion implemented a pick & and pack solution able to handle client order of up to 400 units per hour.

  5. Limited scalability for accommodating future growth in client orders

Solutions

  3. Pick-to-light system to improve accuracy and speed in the picking process
  4. Check weighing technology for quality assurance (QA) to enhance accuracy
  5. Automated carton sealing to streamline packaging processes
  6. Smooth integration into the client's Warehouse Control System (WCS) for seamless operations
