The software ORion-PI Express handling of Axxom enables the introduction of so-called express areas wherein a picking performance of more than 1200 picks/person/hour can be achieved without expensive investments in high-automated warehouse technology.
The introduction of express areas with ORion-PI Express handling leads to a paradigm shift in logistics. Unlike the assignment of products according to frequency e.g. in conventional fast, medium and slow moving areas, articles are now stored according to order structure. Products are assigned to the express area in such a way, that as many orders as possible can be completed there. By this, orders only have to run through express stations and not through different picking areas. Key factor of success is the assignment of the express areas with the proper article spectrum, considering many constraints. Here, results depend very much on the quality of the algorithm, which identifies the right article spectrum for assembling the express area, considering a lot of restrictions and constraints. While common software often generates no savings and sometimes even causes more efforts, an intelligent solution can achieve significant improvements.
