SSI Case Picking

Compilation of store-friendly pallets

Thanks to the SSI Case Picking system, food retailers are able to ensure delivery quality despite ever more dynamic market requirements. The SSI Schaefer system enables the fully-automatic compilation of mixed pallets with a wide range of items and packing variants for store-friendly deliveries thanks to proven and widely applied technologies that are constantly further developed. Reference projects worldwide are proof for the efficiency, flexibility and scalability of the modular palletizing system in practice.

Deployment of staff

Thanks to the automation of processes and the implementation of ergonomic work stations, warehouse operators can automate heavy physical activities, optimize their personnel deployment and thus meet the country-specific, sometimes very strict, requirements with regard to occupational safety in the warehouse.

Availability 24/7

Automated picking and palletizing of a wide item and packing range enables smooth operation 24/7. Separate picking warehouses for different temperature ranges (down to -30° C) can be implemented within the system.

Continuous inventory/transparency

All item retrievals from every storage area and at every station are booked in the WAMAS system, including batch data and best before dates, so that the operator is always informed about and can dispose of his current inventory.

Excellent use of space

Automatic storage and picking systems make optimum use of the storage space in terms of footprint and height, as the aisles for storage-retrieval machines or conveying sections are narrower and higher than rack aisles for manual picking trolleys or forklift trucks. Automatic depalletizing or palletizing is also done in robot cells in a space-saving manner.

Flexibility

Palletizing robots are able to create different pallet sizes or roll containers in a stable, volume-optimized and store-optimized sequence without interruption. Thanks to the possible combination of case and piece picking, different order sizes can be processed and a wide range of items can be handled in one system and then palletized.

Performance

With an optimum balance between storage system, sequencing and palletizing, high performance rates of the overall system with a high degree of space utilization can be achieved.

Quality

The calculation of an optimum pack pattern, the careful handling and stacking of the units and the pallet wrapping with stretch film to secure the load ensure a high level of stability for the mixed pallet.
