How Conveyors Support Larger Automation Projects
Automated Order Fulfillment System Clears Backlog for Chicago Distributor
During the pandemic, a surge in consumer demand left a major household goods distributor struggling to keep up with orders at its 600,000-square-foot distribution facility in the Chicago area.
The company’s existing fulfillment process couldn’t handle the increased volume, resulting in an order backlog of nearly three months. It needed to significantly increase fulfillment capacity while creating a more efficient, scalable process for picking, packing, and shipping customer orders.
Challenges
- Nearly three-month order backlog
- Rapid increase in order volume
- Existing fulfillment process unable to keep pace
- Too many manual touches throughout fulfillment
- Need for greater long-term capacity and scalability
Solutions
RMH Systems designed and implemented a complete automated order fulfillment system, which included three carton-flow pick modules and an integrated order-picking system connected to automated packaging and shipping conveyors.
The system also features:
- Carton erecting
- Pick-to-light technology
- Barcode scanning
- Two-level conveyors, accumulation, and sortation
- Print-and-apply labeling
- Automatic carton sealing
- Racking, including selective, double-deep, carton flow, and over dock door
By integrating these technologies into one complete system, RMH created a streamlined process that moved orders from picking through packaging and shipping with fewer manual touches.
Results
✓ Increased order fulfillment capacity
✓ Reduced manual handling
✓ Faster movement from picking through shipping
✓ More efficient packaging and shipping
✓ Greater ability to handle fluctuations in order volume
✓ Scalable system designed to support future growth
