The Importance of Palletizing Operations
Many warehouses and distribution centers that utilize batch picking and conveyor sortation systems struggle with end of lane quality palletizing on their shipping floor. Their automation may get a carton to the right lane, but then a human must place the carton on the right pallet. It sounds simple enough, but in today fast paced warehouses and distribution centers poor pallet quality can quickly eat away the ROI of your automation investments, not to mention your customer’s satisfaction.
Maximizing palletizing quality is not an easy task as the process is a balancing act between accuracy and speed, both affecting total cost.
