The new Dispen-SI-matic A-Frame dispenses inventory into variable-sized shipping containers common to omni-channel, said Ed Romaine, VP of sales and marketing for SI Systems (Booth S5418), in a press conference on Tuesday.
“The benefits of robotic order picking are here today with this machine,” he said. “It can pick up to 2,200 orders per hour—that’s orders, not lines—directly into various size shippers while eliminating all picking labor.”
The A-Frame has channels on each side that hold one stock-keeping unit (SKU) apiece and dispense up to five items per second. Orders, separated by as little as 1-inch of space, are processed at an automatically controlled speed to ensure each item drops into the correct shipper.
“It easily integrates into new and existing operations, and handles SKU sizes from 0.6 x 2 x 0.4 inches to 10.5 x 12.4 x 4.5 inches,” Romaine added.
