Semi Automated Storage

Semi-automated storage systems are far more than just a transitional solution – they are often the starting point for long-term automation strategies. Many companies choose a phased approach: first automating select processes, then expanding step by step. This keeps the warehouse adaptable and aligned with future demands – without needing a full overhaul.

Pallet shuttle: specialist for homogeneous storage
The pallet shuttle is a compact channel storage system featuring a motorized shuttle that autonomously stores and retrieves pallets. Workers only need to place pallets at the channel entry – the system does the rest. Ideal for storing batches in certain sizes of identical goods. The system can be sized according to your throughput need.

Conveyors instead of foot traffic
Pallet conveyor systems handle transport between goods-in, storage, and production areas. Even long distances are bridged quickly and efficiently. In a food industry example, pallets automatically move from inbound to processing areas, with staff only stepping in during final preparation.

Picking without detours
Strategies like Goods-to-Person automatically deliver items to picking stations – ergonomic, efficient, and time-saving. Staff no longer walk through the warehouse but stay focused on order assembly.

Lights On, Items Out
Pick-to-Light systems guide workers via illuminated displays showing exactly what to pick and in what quantity. This reduces errors and speeds up the picking process.

Follow the voice through the warehouse
With Voice Picking, workers receive spoken instructions via headset – hands-free, eyes up, fully focused. Decathlon, the sporting goods retailer, uses this system in several warehouses to handle growing online order volumes.

Digital management at your fingertips
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) digitizes operations, stock data, and material movements. Even traditional warehouses benefit from improved structure, traceability, and speed.
