CaddyPick
The CaddyPick solution concept combines the person-to-goods and zone-to-zone approach and is particularly suited for environments with high picking density. This concept was designed to meet the requirements of the retail industry.

What customers say about CaddyPick:

"The solution that Swisslog has implemented will give us a permanent reduction in our logisticcosts through efficiency gains."

Benefits of the Automated Solution Concept vs. Manual Solutions:

  • Higher picking performance with fewer errors increases quality and efficiency in order fulfillment
  • Automated CaddyPicks eliminate damage/breakage by picking vehicles
  • Comfortable working environment for picking employees since noise and hazards created by pallet jacks and forklifts are eliminated
  • Lower operating costs
  • Increased efficiency thanks to reduction of non-productive times and parallel work on multiple CaddyPicks

How the Concept Works:
The solution combines the person-to-goods with the zone-to-zone approach. It consists of individual subsystems which are interconnected intelligently through software in order to create efficient warehouse processes.

Storing: Vectura stacker cranes are used to automatically replenish the goods along the picking aisles, servicing multiple aisle levels.

Transporting/picking: CaddyPicks automatically transport the order units through the picking aisles. To ensure maximum picking accuracy, the order item is displayed on a screen and highlighted by an LED dot on the floor. A scale integrated into each CaddyPick validates the picking quantity and reports an error if discrepancies occur. For employees, the benefits provided by the CaddyPick concept include shorter walking distances, a team approach and more comfortable working conditions.

In addition, CaddyPicks can accommodate empty pallets and packing materials, which are automatically removed at designated unloading stations and then disposed of.
