Item picking.
Handling a wide range of packaging types at scale puts pressure on speed, accuracy, and consistency. AWL’s item picking solution simplifies complex product flows, helping logistics operations maintain reliable performance, stable output, and consistent order quality as volumes and product mixes change.
What is item picking?
Item picking automates the handling of smaller individual products in logistics operations. The solution supports environments where many packaging types are processed across changing order profiles. It can handle products from bulk storage, tote-based storage, or a combination of both, creating a smooth and structured flow for downstream operations.
Common operational hurdles
High labor depedency
Unpredictable pallet content
Throughput instability
Safety and ergonomics issues
System approach to these challenges
Standardized picking environments ensure consistent product presentation from both bulk and tote sources. With a complex, tailored integration, the system maintains reliable performance while efficiently handling a wide range of packaging types.
- High & stable throughput
- Picking carton boxes, envelopes, polybags, and more
- Support bulk and tote input
Orchestrated in one system
A proven approach to robotic automation
The success of robotic automation depends on more than the technology itself. The way requirements are defined, engineering decisions are made, and systems are supported after commissioning all influence long-term operations performance.
Bringing together expertise across engineering, integration, commissioning, and support helps create solutions that perform reliably in operation.
Benefits to your operation
Reduced manual labor
More consistent throughput
Improved scalability
