TGW’s automated mini-load storage and retrieval technology - Twister - handles these singularized SKUs in the warehouse. Between one and four packages of the same incoming product are stored in one storage channel, depending on their size, whilst providing access to each individual SKU. Thus the machinery can pick the exact number of needed SKUs from each storage channel for the subsequent process.

BATCHES BOOST THE WAREHOUSE AND PROCESS PERFORMANCE

To boost the warehouse and process performance the AS/R machines not only pick for one single customer order each but these orders are combined to batches that are delivered to a small but highly dynamic sequence buffer.
