…are multiple technologies to consider. Autonomous mobile robots, shuttle systems and cube-based storage systems all support goods-to-person picking and each has strengths and weaknesses that should be considered in the technology selection process. Mobile robots that deliver shelves or totes to stationary pickers, for example, don’t offer the storage density of other approaches, but can typically be implemented faster than…

…to Exotec. Take a traditional shuttle system as an example. These systems typically consist of shuttles dedicated to specific aisles and a series of elevators and conveyors that help move goods between multiple levels in an aisle and eventually get them to warehouse associates. This complexity puts stringent limitations on the system, especially when it comes to the flexibility of…
