Solutions: Picking

Automated warehouse picking technologies

The shift to a higher volume of e-Commerce orders is driving the need for responsive operations that are built to reduce labor while increasing accuracy and high throughput. Combining the proprietary algorithms of FORTNA WES™ with several key order picking and packing technologies make it possible for high volume operations to meet growing demand with greater efficiency.

FORTNA works with leading equipment manufacturers to design flexible, scalable and reliable operations that meet your business requirements.

Responsive. Fast. Accurate.

Warehouse picking is a distribution process used to fulfill orders. Picking a product from its storage locations, placing the order in a box and then sealing and labeling it for shipping. Efficient picking processes are critical in improving warehouse operations’ overall productivity and success. Types of picking include: zone picking, wave picking and batch picking.

FORTNA will help integrate with your existing systems and/or help you leverage newer automation technologies for an operation that is responsive to fluctuations in demand.
