Layer Picker Gantry: Future-ready
Modern retail demands the ability to create complex ‘sandwich’ or ‘rainbow’ pallets quickly and accurately. The Layer Picker Gantry delivers this flexibility through:
- Dynamic order mixing. Pick full layers from multiple pallets simultaneously to consolidate mixed-product orders.
- High-capacity inventory. Manage up to 110 SKUs at once with the power to lift layers weighing up to 215 kg.
- Seamless product adaptation. Adjust to your evolving product mix without needing to modify existing packaging or configurations.
- Retailer-ready flexibility. Easily fulfill specific demands for less than full pallets for supermarkets and retailers.
“The automated layer picking system allows us to pick product layers from large numbers of pallets simultaneously. This enables us to achieve the further growth we are aiming for while maintaining quality.”
