Swisslog FreezerPick solution

Swisslog has launched FreezerPick, a solution in which picking is moved out of the freezer into chilled environments, resulting in efficient order fulfilment. FreezerPick is suitable for companies such as retailers, food and beverage manufacturers, 3PLs and pharmaceutical companies that handle frozen products and deliver directly to stores.

FreezerPick is ergonomically designed goods-to-person picking located in the chilled environment. Cases are delivered in store shelf sequence to the picker. After picking, order pallets are lowered back into the deep-freeze environment with orders ready to be dispatched. This ensures cases stay in chilled environments for only a few minutes, complying with major regulations.

FreezerPick is based on four different systems: Pallet Storage, Miniload Buffer Storage, Case Picking and Layer Picking. The solution is scalable and flexible in operation, the company says, allowing it to be tailored to each user’s requirements. FreezerPick is designed for single case picking, automated layer-pallet building and full pallet out-feed. A fully automated version is also available.

The product may offer space savings due to high-bay warehouse storage. The company claims it offers good accuracy of order fulfilment and reduces health costs as a result of ergonomically designed workstations.
