Remstar Improves Order Picking Speeds
Portland, ME: Remstar's new QuickPick Position Indicator (QPi) moving light strip allows operators to improve their order picking speed and accuracy, while reducing the amount of training required in automated storage and retrieval applications.
The QPi indicates order picking information for Remstar horizontal carousels directly in front of the exact storage tote or container, rather than at the side. The QPi moves vertically and positions itself above or below the shelf level and indicates the correct container by flashing arrows. It shows the operator the tote position, as well as the required transaction quantity, resulting in more efficient and accurate order picking.
The QPi mounts on the front of the horizontal carousel, which allows closer shelf spacing than is possible with traditional side-mounted light towers, thereby eliminating potential errors due to long spans. In addition, the indicator moves to the correct shelf height with positioning accuracy of 1/10 inch in the vertical axis.
According to Remstar, the QPi precisely indicates up to 26 positions along the face of the shelf, allowing the use of narrower totes for improved product storage density while also improving picking accuracy. Likewise, totes and containers are able to be divided into more cells, which increases higher storage device density without sacrificing any accuracy.
In addition, the QPi's intuitive operational design reduces operator training time.
