The solution to the challenges in the dairy industry is automation. Cimcorp's MultiPick offers total automation solutions for industrial dairies. After fresh products enter the robotic system from production, MultiPick takes care of the entire material flow right up to the shipping dock, with its ultra high density storage ensuring the buffer capability required to balance continuous production with specific delivery windows.
MultiPick receives stacks of products from production – one SKU per stack. At the in-feed, the product identities of the stacks are registered to the MultiPick system. The robot picks the stacks and stores them on the floor storage area under the robot.
Cimcorp's WCS software receives customer orders for picking and plans the picking process to meet demand in order of priority. The robot travels from storage stack to storage stack picking the required number of crates in one pick sequence, making up a full mixed stack of different products. If a large volume of single product is needed, it can also pick a complete stack in one lift.
Gable-tops, roll cages and dollies
MultiPick can also be combined with manual operations. The customers can benefit from MultiplePick, a development of MultiPick that is designed to pick one or more rows of gable-top products – even if they are different heights – from a crate in order to make up customer-specific mixed crates.
MultiPick robots can also be used for automated picking of complete roll cages or dollies. The dollies are received, stored and picked within the MultiPick system in the same way as complete stacks of crates.
