  Warehouses in India have witnessed a transition from manual operations to fast and reliable automated processes. One of the key changes as highlighted in our earlier piece, “Warehouse Odyssey” has been the transition from “Traditional Racking” and forklift-based operations to “Dense Racking” and “ Pallet Shuttle ” based operations. Pallet Shuttle enables organizations to gain a competitive advantage and increase the storage and throughput capacity of their warehouses. Consequently, Pallet Shuttles are one of the most adopted technologies across the globe and Cruiser, pallet shuttle manufactured by Addverb is one of the largest deployed Pallet Shuttle in India. It’s imperative to understand what enables Cruiser to gain such an edge, how does it function, how does it ensure a SAFE operation. To understand all these aspects, let us explore the nitty-gritty of what makes Cruiser, our Pallet Shuttle, one of the most coveted and popular Pallet Shuttles in India.   PLC Control system:

  Order picking in a warehouse involves finding and extracting the specified amount of right SKU necessary to fulfill an order. It is one of the most expensive and labor-intensive processes, according to a report, order picking takes 70% of the time, 60% of all warehouse activity and 55% of operational costs. With the evolution of eCommerce and omnichannel distribution strategies, more and more methods of order picking are being deployed to achieve order fulfillment goals.   Order fulfillment involves a whole range of activities from customers placing orders until the time they shipped out of the warehouse, including order picking, packing, shipping, and scheduling, etc.   Quite often order fulfillment is used interchangeably with order replenishment but they differ as a whole. Because replenishment is a limited activity of the order fulfillment process, which involves moving items from storage locations to forward picking locations; it also denotes refilling the most used items o

Since you didn’t remember the birthday, you haven’t sent any gifts. What do you do?………. You open a shopping app, pick same-day delivery, and voila! The app helps you order a gift that will delight your loved ones. But, what took you a few clicks to finish is, in fact, the result of heaps of teams working in tandem around the year. The most important part of this entire chain is the “Warehouse” which stores these “gifts”. Warehouses are the hidden fulcrum of supply chain management, without their smooth functioning, the entire supply chain would collapse. There’s a lot to proper warehouse management than what meets the eye. From taking care of time-critical packages and dealing with inaccurate inventory to employing strategies to minimize labor costs – the world of warehousing is as tricky as a “dusra” cricket delivery indeed!   Out of all th

  Light directed picking has emerged as one of the important picking technologies for faster order fulfillment with great accuracies. Before implementing the PTL systems into your warehouse storage zones/aisles, here we take a look at the important points that need to be thoroughly worked upon to earn the best ROI from automation:   1. Know your product SKU volumes: Pick-To-Light systems are the fastest picking methodology in the segment – “person to good” system. They are used for high throughput (fast-moving) SKUs. Light directed picking gives the highest pick rate in case of break pack picking and is equally effective for full case dispatch. These fast-moving SKUs are brought together to a picking zone, which is different from the storage zone. They are stored close to each other in a dense form. Every SKU has 1-12 cartons (cases) stored in this pick zone. They are regularly replenished. They are either stored in a shelving rack or carton flow racks. An SKU can get more than o
