Goods To Person
Goods-to-person automation in a distribution center refers to a system where items are brought directly to the warehouse personnel for order picking, rather than employees having to move throughout the warehouse to retrieve items manually. In this setup, automated systems such as conveyor, robotic shuttles, or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) transport bins or totes containing products to designated workstations where operators can efficiently pick, pack, or process orders.
- This automated approach minimizes the time and effort required for employees to locate and retrieve items, significantly increasing order processing speed and accuracy.
- By bringing the goods to the person, GTP automation optimizes workflow efficiency, reduces labor costs, and enhances overall productivity in distribution centers.
- This technology enables better utilization of space within the warehouse and improves picking accuracy through automated inventory tracking and management systems.
