MultiPick system for order picking and distribution of plastic crates and trays

Fresh meat, ready meals, bakery products, produce, dairy products, etc – anything where substantial volumes are handled in crates, bins or cartons may benefit from Cimcorp's picking solutions. Typical applications are found at the distribution end of factories (dairies, meat processing plants, bakeries, retailers etc), at distribution centers and cross-docking facilities. Standard MultiPick installations receive product in stacks of one article (SKU) each; they buffer store these on the floor and then pick, and sometimes assemble, mixed customer orders. Installations can go from quite simple solutions to very complex.

The MultiPick system is also ideally suited to tray handling in mail processing and sorting centers. The system gives added value to the sorting process by, for example, acting as a buffer storage in mail processing. Mail trays processed in the sorting center include trays for different destinations. The robot sorts these trays into stacks according to destinations. When all the trays of a particular destination have arrived to the MultiPick storage, they are loaded automatically onto a transport unit for transfer to the delivery vehicle. Thanks to this effective stack handling, trays can be sequenced and dispatched without delay to the sorting areas or mail delivery vehicles.
