  • 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.  Learn More About Person-to-Goods Picking  Goods-to-Person Solutions The Order Picking Challenge Storage & Retrieval (ASRS) Robotics

HOME SOLUTIONS ROBOTICS Robotics Warehouse robotics are point solutions designed to handle tasks like transporting, picking, packing, or sorting goods. These technologies include autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, and other intelligent equipment that move and work alongside people. Unlike traditional fixed automation that is best for high-volume, consistent workflows - robotics offer flexible, scalable solutions that can adapt to changing inventory, order patterns, and business demands. Benefits of Warehouse Robots Robotics bring the speed and consistency of automation with the adaptability of manual labor. They help boost throughput, reduce reliance on hard-to-staff roles, and scale with your operation - whether you’re navigating peak seasons or long-term growth. Robotics can be deployed faster than many fixed systems and, when integrated with warehouse software, give you greater visibility, control, and return on investment across your fulfillment operation. Types of Robotics Automation Goods-to-Robot Each Picking Core™ Robotic Picking System provides automated picking tote-tote, tote-bag, tote-box, etc. converting goods-to-person stations into goods-to-robot stations. The Core™ picks a wide variety of items, rapidly identifying and picks them without needing pre-programmed SKU information using built-in algorithms to measure and adjust grip quality for accurate transfers. Mobile Robotic Goods-To-Operator Robotic Goods-to-Operator uses autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to create a storage and retrieval picking subsystem that includes put-away, inventory storage, replenishment and order picking. The solution is very flexible in how it adapts to changing inventory profiles and order volumes. The modular system architecture of this approach can scale to increase storage volume or fulfillment throughput independently by adding more storage racks or robots, as needed.

  • Order Fulfillment Systems | Pick-to-Light, Robotics, Goods-to-Person | TREW

    Maximize fulfillment accuracy with full-case, split-case, and piece-picking systems powered by robotics, SmartMoves WES, and pick-to-light tech. Top of Page Operator-to-goods Goods-to-operator HOME SOLUTIONS ORDER CONSOLIDATION Order Consolidation in Fulfillment Operations Order consolidation is a fulfillment strategy that combines batch picking with automated or manual sorting, enabling multiple orders to be processed efficiently from a single pick trip. After items are batch picked, they are routed to an order consolidation area, where inventory is sorted into the correct customer orders. This approach is ideal for high-volume operations looking to increase productivity, reduce errors, and lower shipping costs. Benefits of Order Consolidation Operator-to-goods Increased Efficiency Consolidating orders downstream from batch picks streamlines the process and increases order throughput. Improved Accuracy Technologies like light-directed put walls and robotic sortation ensure each item ends up in the right order, reducing manual errors. Cost Savings Accurate shipments result in lower shipping costs and improved operational efficiency. Goods-to-operator Types of Order Consolidation Technologies Order consolidation can be powered by a range of item sorting technologies. Trew integrates and supports multiple options based on your operation’s size, SKU complexity, and fulfillment strategy: Light-Directed Put Walls Ideal for manual operations using visual cues to guide sorting (Trew) - Put wall solutions provide a flexible and scalable order consolidation for ecommerce and kitting operations. Inventory items are presented to an operator in donor totes, which were created by a batch picking process somewhere else in the building. After scanning an item, a put-to-light device indicates to the operator which order, put-wall cubby, the item is associated with. This method of order consolidation enables 450+ lines per hour throughput with +99% order accuracy. Robotic Put Walls Automated systems like OPEX Sure Sort - a compact scalable small-item sorting system alternative to traditional put wall that can be applied in order consolidation, retail replenishment, inbound SKU, kiting, returns and parcel sortation applications. ® Robotic Order Consolidation Systems Advanced item handling using solutions like Berkshire Grey Stride™ Shuttle Sorter - an automated store replenishment fulfillment & sortation alternative to put walls and item loop sortation that can increase order fulfillment by up to 4X, maximize shipping container cube utilization by up to 10%, and fit in a compact footprint. High-Speed Item Sorters Scalable unit sorters like those from EuroSort for dense, high-throughput operations - Goods-to-sorter induction strategies supersize the Put Wall order consolidation process achieving sort rates of up to 9,600 items per hour, or 13,300 items per hour when virtual sortation configurations are used. The solution presents inventory to an operator who inducts the items on a loop sorter. The loop sorter sorts the item into an order chute for consolidation. Multiple configurations can be implemented for induction stations and order chutes to match the volume of operations and inventory types. Finding the Right Fit Every warehouse is different. At Trew, we help you choose the order consolidation technology that best fits your: Order volume SKU profile Facility footprint Fulfillment goals Whether you’re working with an existing facility or starting from scratch, order consolidation technologies can deliver scalability, flexibility, and positive return on investments.
