Process excellence for accuracy, speed, and resource utilisation can create a competitive edge in warehouse operations. As order volumes grow and product assortments diversify, traditional person-to-goods methods become inadequate for the modern realm of demand fulfilment.
Goods-to-Person Systems offer a transformative approach to create an automated order-picking workflow and optimise material movement. In fact, picking is one of the initial points warehouses across the world choose to automate. As a global frontrunner in robotics and automation, Addverb has spearheaded this transformation through its G2P technologies that enhance warehouses, making them intelligent, flexible, and efficient.
Revolutionising Order Picking with Addverb’s G2P Systems
Goods-to-Person systems automate the picking and consolidation of inventory items to the human operator, minimising travel time and errors on the part of the human. Addverb’s G2P product line includes Box-it, an automated order-picking system designed to streamline picking operations by bringing items directly to the operator station. This ensures higher accuracy, ergonomic handling, and shorter order cycle time.
Addverb’s Horizontal Carousel System (HOCA) and Box-it solutions are built for high-speed picking needs of warehouses catering to diverse SKUs. The plug and play integration of the carousel design in HOCA system facilitates non-stop circulation of stocks, allowing for the set of goods to be retrieved with ease and at the same time, optimising space utilisation.
Together, these technologies envision a G2P environment that easily co-ordinates with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and robotic conveyor networks. This provides real-time visibility, smart task allocation and a fully automated inventory control; it is then up to the businesses to meet the growing fulfillment challenges in consistency and reliability.
Comparison of Traditional Picking vs. G2P Automation
Here’s a Comparison of traditional picking vs G2P automation:
| Feature | Traditional Picking | G2P Automation |
| Human Travel Time | High | Minimal |
| Order Accuracy | Prone to human error | Up to 99.9% accurate |
| Space Utilization | Standard shelving | High-density vertical storage |
| Scalability | Limited | Easily Scalable |
| Labor Productivity | Restricted by walking/searching | Focused on value-added activities |
Performance Efficiency Through Automation
Automation eliminates repetitive manual labour while improving throughput and accuracy. Addverb’s G2P solutions eradicate parallel picking in many zones, along with optimising batching and sequencing to minimise idle time.
The entire GTP picking solution of Addverb is made with scalability as the primary consideration. For example, Box-it can be organized and scaled according to picking speed or storage density, provides high-speed, precise order picking and smooth integration with conveyors and storage modules. These systems come with high-level safety sensors, AI-based route optimization, and maintenance alerts, so they can keep running efficiently and smoothly even during high-demand times.
Addverb also offers a highly efficient and scalable Person-to-goods solution as the Pick-to-Light System (Rapido).Warehouses can switch quickly between priorities of orders, types of SKUs, and targets of fulfillment without a need for physical infrastructure reconfiguration through integration with Addverb’s proprietary software and real-time data analysis. It makes them suitable for the ask of flexibility required by Modern warehouses, making it possible for them to scale up and down easily in response to changes in their business demands.
Real-World Deployment Success
Addverb’s G2P systems have been successfully deployed across sectors such as e-commerce, retail, FMCG, and manufacturing. In one of deployment featured in Addverb’s warehouse automation case studies, a leading retailer adopted Box-it and Quadron systems to enhance picking accuracy and throughput. The implementation resulted in significant gains in operational efficiency, reduced manual movement across warehouse zones, and improved order fulfillment speed.
In a notable project, Addverb transformed an eyewear production facility with a Goods-to-Person (G2P) picking system merging cutting-edge storage and material handling technologies. The solution made order picking more efficient, increased accuracy, and better space usage leading to a considerable increase in throughput and operational efficiency. This case demonstrates how Addverb’s automation ecosystem supports intelligent, expandable, and comfortable warehouse operations.
