On 13 Jan 2012, Supply Chain Asia conducted a site visit Schaefer Tech Center. The center is Schaefer's investment in putting together live showcases of variois innovative picking technologies as well as the latest storage and picking systems.
Visitors to the center will given an overview of how these technologies are being applied as well as being able to get a hands-on feel on how these technologies actually work.
The picking systems simulated in the Tech Center include:
- Parallel Picking with RF technology
- Goods to man picking with pick to tote
- Pick by light using Multi light
- Pick to Light using E pick
- RF picking with shelving
- Mobile picking with pick to voice
In addition, participants also get to view the high density 8 deep Orbiter satellite operation, powered by in rack electrical supply for 24/7 operation with no down time recharging battery.
The highlight of the site visit was the Vertical High Density Storage using the Logimat, a crane operated picking system with shelf trays 2.5m long x 0.8 m wide for loads up to 750 kg x 7m high with variable shelf location, complete with touch screen controls, and unique tilt tray operation for ergonomic picking (click here for more information).
We hope to host more such educational site visits to bring knowledge and innovation closer to the community. If your company is keen to host such visits, do let us know so that we can organize more such visits in the near future.
