Scalable sortation technology - from unit sorters to loop systems - integrated with PLC and WCS for warehouse throughput and precise product handling. Top of Page LRS MRS HRS HOME SOLUTIONS SORTATION Sortation Getting items to the right place at the right time is a fundamental need in fulfillment operations. Success requires a combination of software, hardware, and know-how to create the right solution. Sorter applications include facility routing, order consolidation, inventory distribution, workstation balancing, buffering, staging, shipping and more; often functions mission critical for operations. Types of Sortation Whether the application is shipping, facility routing, order consolidation, inventory distribution, workstation balancing, buffering, or staging, designing the right sortation solution takes more than picking a piece of equipment. It starts with understanding the items being handled, the rate required, how products are packaged, how they’re inducted, and how they exit the sorter. Add to that the flow of the building, the sorter’s technical capabilities, and its ability to adapt to business changes. When applied correctly, sortation unlocks operational capacity and efficiency. When it’s not, it becomes a bottleneck that can impact the entire operation.

Explore Goods-to-Person systems that boost pick speed, accuracy, and storage efficiency using AMRs, shuttles, robotic arms, and SmartMoves WES. HOME SOLUTIONS GOODS-TO-PERSON Goods-to-Person Goods-to-Person (G2P) systems, also known as Goods-to-Operator (GTO), bring inventory directly to the pick operator, eliminating unnecessary walking and significantly improving picking speed, accuracy, and storage space utilization. G2P solutions can include technologies like shuttle or miniload-fed automatic pick stations, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR), and robotic arms. Operator-to-goods Benefits of Goods-to-Person Systems: Reduce travel time Improve pick accuracy Maximize storage density Enhance labor efficiency Goods-to-operator Types of Goods-to-Person Automation There are four unique categories of G2P automation - module-based, aisle-based, cube-based, and corral-based. Each has their own strengths within fulfillment operations. The Solutions Development process defines the best fit. Module-Based G2P Best for: Low-velocity SKUs, brownfield retrofits, kitting, and mid-sized warehouses. Robots access inventory and deliver it directly to pick stations within a self-contained subsystem. Multiple modules can be connected via conveyor to pass the orders to the modules where the SKU resides - Combined with intelligent software to optimize picking, offering unparalleled accuracy, efficiency, and scalability. The result = a precise, fast, and adaptable solution for growing businesses. Aisle-Based G2P Best for: High-volume fulfillment centers with large SKU populations. Designed for high-volume ecommerce and retail fulfillment, these multi-aisle shuttle systems use lifts and conveyors to deliver totes, cartons, or trays directly to workstations with speed and precision. The approach supports the widest range of SKUs, heavy totes and cartons, and can accommodate single, double, or quad-deep storage to maximize density. With very high mechanical throughput rates this solution offers dense, flexible storage for operations that need performance at scale. Cube-Based G2P Best for: Operations with moderate to high order volumes, moderate SKU populations with smaller products, and dense storage needs. Robots retrieve stacked bins from a grid system and deliver them to ports around the perimeter. Each robot has access to every SKU and pick station. Compact, scalable, and well-suited for small-item or multi-SKU bin applications. Corral-Based G2P Best for: Flexible, scalable operations with growing SKU counts. Robots retrieve bins from shallow-depth racking and deliver them to decoupled manual or automated workstations. Capable of shelf or tote-to-person as well as unit, full case, or pallet level movement. Highly configurable with minimal infrastructure and strong redundancy. Finding the Right Fit Every warehouse is different. At Trew, we help you choose the G2P technology that best fits your: Order volume SKU variety and velocity Available space Fulfillment goals Whether you’re working with an existing facility or starting from scratch, G2P systems can deliver faster picking, better accuracy, and smarter use of space.

- ASRS Solutions | Shuttle, Mini-Load, Robotics & G2P Systems | TREW
Automated storage & retrieval (ASRS) solutions to save space and boost throughput using robotics, mini-loads, shuttles, and goods-to-person systems. HOME SOLUTIONS STORAGE & RETRIEVAL Storage & Retrieval (ASRS) To maximize storage utilization, ASRS solutions “work the cube” by leveraging vertical space to increase floor capacity and density. These systems automate the storage and retrieval of inventory, minimizing manual travel and increasing the density of storage. ASRS technologies range from Shuttles, Mini-Loads, Cubic ASRS, to robotics and are selected based on the material to be handled, throughput, and space utilization goals. Most ASRS Systems Fall Into One of Three Categories: BUFFERING Buffering stores work-in-progress (WIP) or completed orders until they’re needed, allowing operations to work ahead of peaks, order commitment times, or labor availability. The orders stored in the buffer are retrieved and delivered at the time they are needed for shipping. SEQUENCING Sequencing stores completed orders or work in process, retrieving containers in the order they are needed. A common application for completed orders is reverse truck stop loading. In this case, orders are flowed to shipping so that the truck is loaded with orders for its last stop first, and the first stop last. PICKING ASRS picking typically involves slow- to medium-moving inventory that is retrieved and presented to an operator. This is typically the most complicated of the solutions, requiring a high level of coordination between overall operations and the ASRS system to optimize the solution so inventory and orders flow efficiently through a building. Benefits of ASRS ASRS increases labor productivity by delivering the right item at the right time with up to 99.99% accuracy. These solutions can be tailored to different operational needs, depending on how inventory is stored and retrieved, and are ideal for improving picking speed, accuracy, and overall space utilization. Types of ASRS Technologies Mobile Robotic Goods-to-Operator Robotic Goods-to-Operator systems use autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to automate put-away, storage, replenishment, and order picking. Flexible and modular, these systems easily adapt to changing inventory and order volumes, scaling by adding robots or racks as needed. AMRs bring inventory racks to operator stations, where workers pick and consolidate items for each order. High Density Case Storage The i-Collector is a three-dimensional dynamic storage system used to buffer totes and trays. It can store individual containers or stacked loads, with induction and retrieval handled manually or through automation. The system is based on proven technology and can be sized to fit new and existing facilities. Robotic Aisle Picking Perfect Pick is a robotic solution that combines tote storage, robotic shuttles, and goods-to-operator picking station into a single aisle design that can easily expanded as businesses grow and ideal for ecommerce, micro-fulfillment, retail, wholesale, and parts fulfillment. ® cASRS-to-Operator Infinity is a robotic cASRS (cubic ASRS) high density storage system that brings together large and patented n-Deep tote storage with iBots that can access the entire storage array and each presentation station. The result is a configurable, flexible, resilient, fast and accurate picking system ideal for ecommerce and micro-fulfillment, store replenishment, parts/wholesale distribution and fulfillment. ® Mini-Load System Shuttle System Mini-Load & Shuttle Systems Mini-load and shuttle systems are high-density ASRS solutions used across ambient, chilled, and frozen environments to support ecommerce, omnichannel, and wholesale fulfillment. Mini-load is best for low to medium throughput, while shuttles are suited for higher performance needs. The main difference lies in storage interaction: mini-loads use a single load handler on a mast, while shuttles assign vehicles to each level. Choosing the right system depends on your performance goals, inventory profile, and how the subsystems work together - making solution flow design a critical part of success. Finding the Right Fit Every warehouse is different. At Trew, we help you choose the ASRS technology that best fits your: Integration timing Overall order flow Container type Inventory induction, storage, and retrieval Whether you’re working with an existing facility or starting from scratch, automated storage & retrieval systems can deliver labor efficiency, better accuracy, and smarter use of vertical space.

- Person-to-Goods Picking | RF, Pick-to-Light & Smart Tools | TREW
Discover scalable Person-to-Goods picking systems using RF, Pick-to-Light, and PickPad™ to boost accuracy, flexibility, and productivity in fulfillment. HOME SOLUTIONS PERSON-TO-GOODS Person-To-Goods Person-to-goods (P2G/PTG), or Operator-to-Goods (OTG), picking is a traditional approach to order fulfillment still widely used for both batch and discrete order picking. It is straightforward and flexible with a warehouse associate directed to a storage area to locate and pick items for orders. It’s a human-led process, often supported by technology like RF scanners, pick-to-light systems, or voice picking. The P2G approach typically lowers an operations cost/pick and improves accuracy and fulfillment speed, with the technology used selected to match the flexibility and growth goals of a business. Benefits of Person-to-Goods Automation P2G is often a starting point for growing operations with the adoption of RF or voice picking or combined with automation to be a critical part of medium and high-volume operations. Operations adopt P2G when: Inventory is spread out or changes frequently. Flexibility is key, like in seasonal or high-SKU environments. Labor efficiency gains are needed to scale the business. Accuracy improvements are needed to meet goals. Employee turnover is a challenge and training times need to be reduced. Types of Person-To-Goods Technologies Operator-to-goods Radio Frequency (RF) RF picking presents order information to selectors via a mobile device, often worn on the wrist. It improves accuracy and pick rates over paper-based methods and offers flexibility for various order types and inventory. RF is commonly used for discrete picking or combined with batch picking and order consolidation. PickPad™ PickPad™ is a tablet-based solution that uses graphics to guide picking operations. Mounted on a sled or cart with multiple order totes, it supports cluster and batch picking, where inventory is picked in bulk and distributed into orders. This method can boost productivity by up to 40% compared to RF or paper and achieves near 100% accuracy. Pick-to-Light Pick-to-light improves accuracy and efficiency, especially in less than full case and each-pick environments. Lights direct selectors to inventory within designated zones and support both discrete and batch picking, often in pick-and-pass setups. SmartMoves WX WES enhances capacity by enabling multiple workers per zone ideal for handling fluctuating volume and peaks. ® Finding the Right Fit Every warehouse is different. At Trew, we help you choose the P2G technology that best fits your: Order volume SKU variety and velocity Available space Fulfillment goals Whether you’re working with an existing facility or starting from scratch, G2P systems can deliver faster picking, better accuracy, and smarter use of space.
