Swisslog Debuts Click&Pick Fulfillment System Demo At ProMat 2013

Full Demo on Display for First Time in North America; High-Speed and Flexible Fulfillment System Focuses on Ecommerce

CHICAGO — ProMat 2013 — Swisslog, a global provider of integrated logistics solutions, today announced that it will demonstrate its full Click&PickTM system for the first time in North America at ProMat 2013. Click&Pick is a storage and high-speed order fulfillment system tailored to the U.S. ecommerce market that provides unparalleled use of retail warehouse space for faster and more efficient order fulfillment.

At the Swisslog Booth No. 2912, visitors can see first-hand how Click&Pick combines Swisslog’s inventory storage technology, high-speed picking and fulfillment software suite into the state-of-the-art goods-to-person system for ecommerce. By using all three dimensions of a warehouse, Click&Pick provides Fulfillment 3D for the highest possible inventory storage density. It leverages fast robotic technology and maintains perfect control of inventory. Additionally, Click&Pick is designed to scale seamlessly with a business year-over-year. The technology is installed at Medline Industries Inc., the largest privately held medical supplier in the U.S., and is currently undergoing commissioning.

“As the ecommerce landscape goes mobile, we see more and more that the competitive edge will hinge on a retailer’s ability to deliver customer orders faster with better retention of profit margins,” said Markus Schmidt, SVP of Swisslog. “Click&Pick offers a prime solution to this challenge, and Swisslog will show a full demonstration of the technology at ProMat 2013. For show attendees, seeing will be believing.”

Click&Pick seamlessly grows in conjunction with a customers’ business. Storage and throughput capacity can be increased both quickly and independently, insuring the best use of capital investment dollars. The outstanding ergonomics allows warehouse workers to achieve productivity of 1,000 picks per selector per hour on a sustained basis.
