Carousels Turn Inventory Faster Horizontal and vertical carousels are simple, parts-to-picker systems. They keep inventory moving and ready for sudden demand. One picker using two stock-locator driven horizontal carousels can easily pick up to 120 line items per hour. Vertical carousels with pick indicator lights guide the picker to the exact SKU, raising accuracy and throughput even further.
Carousels Handle a Variety of Products Carousels can stage and speed the fulfillment of orders for finished product or bring parts to point of use for assembly, whether the loads handled are large units or hundreds of small components. Each pod presents multiple part numbers to the operator.
Carousels Provide Degrees of Automation When used with appropriate control software, efficient routings can be made that ensure no time is spent waiting for parts to arrive a the pick-point. The newest horizontal carousel systems can be equipped with mechanical extractors to free manpower for other tasks and allow completely automated full-case picking. Replenishment stock can be called up automatically as well, making pick line stock-outs a thing of the past
