Order picking is the process of retrieving requested products from different storage solutions and dispatching them to individual recipients.
The growing industry of e-commerce requires quick deliveries and demands efficient order-picking processes in warehouses of all sizes.
WHY ORDER PICKING?
Order picking is the process of retrieving individual items from storage to fulfill customer orders. It may sound simple, but it's often one of the most time-consuming and costly parts of warehouse operations.
The main reason? The same resources—personnel, equipment, and space—are used to move significantly smaller quantities of goods than full-pallet operations. That's why optimizing order picking is critical for competitiveness and profitability.
ADAPTING THE SYSTEM TO YOUR OPERATION
Every business has its own challenges: product variety, order size, frequency, or space limitations. Order-picking solutions can be adapted to match your reality. Whether you need high-speed picking at floor level for fast movers or multi-level systems to store a broader range of goods, there's a method that fits your needs.
Modern equipment also plays a significant role in adapting to various picking needs. Low-level order pickers, medium and high-level trucks, and tow tractors with multiple trolleys can all support your picking operation based on factors like handling volume, picking height, and the type of goods moved.
Order picking in large warehouses
The racks in a large warehouse are usually over 6 meters high and can cover a vast area. It's crucial to consider the heights you'll need to reach and the size and weight of each item when choosing a truck for your picking operation.
Our trucks are built for safety and comfort while ensuring high productivity and efficiency.
Order picking in smaller warehouses
While the lift heights and distances typically are lower and shorter in smaller warehouses, the order picking process, intensity, and criteria remain the same.
We offer order pickers with lift heights from ground level up to 6 meters in a range of models with several different features. A few models are expressly designed for efficient ground- and first-floor order picking.
Order picking with trollies
Depending on the type of products you handle and the scale of your operation, you might benefit from using towing tractors and trollies for your order picking.
Shelf trollies are ideal for picking and sorting multiple small orders simultaneously, while platform trollies can handle larger and bulkier items.
UNLOCK THE POWER OF ORDER PICKING
If your operation still relies on full pallet handling or struggles with picking efficiency,
it might be time to take a closer look at dedicated order-picking solutions.
From increased flexibility to better space utilization and lower handling costs per order,
switching to a structured order-picking system can transform your warehouse's performance.
Product range and turnover
Fast movers should be easy to reach, while slower movers can be stored higher or further away.
Storage layout
Picking routes and location strategy (fixed or random) affect travel time and replenishment.
Handling equipment
The right solution improves efficiency, safety, and ergonomics.
Pick information and support systems
WMS and paperless systems reduce errors and increase accuracy.
Operator ergonomics
Comfortable working positions reduce fatigue and improve long-term productivity.
