Manufacturing

Using a visual tool like pick-to-light in picking parts for manufacturing is an ideal poka-yoke (error proofing) solution for reducing defects in lean production. Manufacturers, from automotive to industrial goods to medical devices, have achieved a fast ROI by avoiding costly errors.

Parcel Handling

Custom control and software package solutions provide user interfaces to oversee the entire operation—including unloading, conveying, identification, sortation and loading—detailing the location of packages and providing real-time error analysis.

Retail Distribution

Advanced control system solutions automate the distribution of retail items, improving quality control, speed, and efficiency to meet continuously changing sortation and distribution demand.

Third Party Logistics

As 3PLs focus more on e-commerce and omni-channel fulfillment, they must drive down costs and increase productivity within labor-intensive, unit-handling tasks. The ideal material handling automation solution optimizes multiple accounts, diverse products, unique requirements and fluctuating order volumes.
